    Just how much blood is normal when losing baby teeth and at what point is it too much?

    My pup is 5 months now and has lost all his front teeth without too much issue, however he's currently in the process of losing his molars towards the back and I can't help but notice there's a lot more blood involved than with his front teeth, should I be concerned?

    It's very noticeable around his gums and transferring onto his toys, however I wouldn't necessarily say it was 'bleeding'.
    Temperament wise, he seems his usual bright self, just more inclined towards chewing.

    Hi there, a small amount (spots or traces) of blood during teething is normal, even though it can look a bit alarming :)

    You might find this information helpful -Puppy Teething Stages - it explains what is normal and what isn't

    Let us know if you have any more worries and if there is more than just the odd spot of blood do get in touch with your vet.
