Chipped tooth (dog)

Hooked

Happy Friday everyone...

While doing my routine ear, teeth, paws and pads checks on the boys this morning... I noticed a very small chip in Jacks tooth. (Third tooth from left on top picture).





He's happily obliged me with a few pics of same.

It's just a chip in the enamel. No dentine exposed and certainly no pulp or nerve visible. I'm obviously going to call to a vets to get an opinion or three.

I just wanted to know of any of you had similar chips with one of yours? And is it a matter of just keeping an eye on it.

The boys are raw fed and forever 'mouthing' (open mouths / teeth clashing) when they are playing... So I'm guessing that's how it happened.

But as Jack is only 9 months old... He has been known to chew on the odd 'foreign object'

Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom...

I would not be concerned personally. I have seen alot worse than that and the dog and tooth have been fine.
