Hi, my puppy is getting her adult teeth. I’ve been checking her for a while and I noticed that the adult canine teeth are erupting right beside her puppy canines on both sides of the upper part of her mouth. Is this normal?

Yes, this is normal. Sometimes small breed puppies may not lose the puppy teeth correctly, if the baby teeth are still there at 8 months of age, have her examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
