New Member with a Shih Poo teething question!

Hey everyone! Me and my boyfriend bought ourselves a 4mth old shih poo back in december and absolutely love her to death!

She is now 5mths old and started teething, but she isn't losing her puppy teeth. If you look in her mouth it looks like her adult teeth are growing above the puppy teeth. She hasn't been whining or anything, but she does chew on table legs.

Should this be something I take her to the vet for?

xkalamariex, did your pup finally "grow" out of her baby teeth??? Or did you end up having to take her to the vet to have them removed. Were they loose at all? That's strange that they didn't come out with her chewing or playing with toys.

Just thought I'd throw in an update!

Lola is now 8months old and luckily all her teeth fell out without going to the vet! Her teeth were loose, but it was like with the new teeth growing in they didn't want to come out. I ended up buying her a few new harder toys. She fell inlove with the mini tennis balls immediately... it's hard to keep them around when my parents have a big dog though!
