Take your dog to a vet for a dental exam. Poor dental health leads to other health problems, including heart disease...
Reply:if it is a major concern of yous call the vet and take for a check up your vet will be happy to help you
Reply:When you take him in for a check up the vet can look at his teeth. They are probably fine. Some dogs have bites that cause their teeth to grind.
Reply:You%26#039;ll have to get the vet to take a look at the teeth, see what%26#039;s going on in there.
Reply:At 5 years old he is transitioning into his upper middle age, regardless of what you think about his teeth, he should be getting annual check ups with your vet. If his teeth have never been brushed and he doesn%26#039;t get chew treats to help keep them clean, I would bet a stack of money that he%26#039;s got some nasty build up on his teeth and needs them cleaned before they abscess (if they aren%26#039;t already)





Please have him looked at, and pay a little more attention to oral health, it%26#039;s extremely important to him. Think about what your teeth would look like if you didn%26#039;t brush them for 5 whole years, and keep in mind that oral infection will spread to the jawbone and bloodstream, which can carry it to the heart, kidneys, and other bones.
Reply:If he is breaking or losing teeth, something is wrong and your vet needs a look. That%26#039;s not normal for a young dog such as your poodle.
Reply:Your poodle may be experiencing mouth pain. Small breeds tend to have teeth problems, specifically periodontal disease. He won%26#039;t choke on his teeth (he didn%26#039;t when he lost his puppy teeth, did he?), but he could be at risk in other areas. Periodontal disease is very dangerous in that it affects many parts of the animal%26#039;s body. Think about all the bacteria that he is swallowing, especially if his teeth are deteriorated enough to allow an abscess to form in his mouth. The bacteria can affect all his major organs (heart, kidneys, etc.). Imagine if you never brushed your teeth - yuck! If you haven%26#039;t had a reputable veterinarian give a good oral exam, please do so immediately. I know this sounds odd, but a 5 year old poodle will soon be entering the %26quot;geriatric%26quot; years. A visit to the veterinarian is in order - a pair of trained eyes can make a huge difference. A good blood screen to check for organ function and then a thorough dental cleaning will be well worth the expense. Your poodle will not only be more comfortable, but you will be able to enjoy many more years with him. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Good luck!
Reply:When your dog makes the same noise again, take a closer look. Check all his front nails if he is bitting it or what. My pinscher used to bite her own nails %26amp; it sound like grinding. That%26#039;s why I don%26#039;t need to cut all her nails.
