Does dogs gums bleed when they get new teeth?

Just like people, dogs can develop tooth decay and gum disease. Bad breath or bleeding at the base of a dog's teeth are often signs of a problem in a dog's mouth. Just like when a person has tooth decay or a gum problem, the condition is probably painful, it's just that dogs are pretty stoic about showing pain.

The bottom line is, if your dog's teeth are bleeding at the gum line the dog should be examined by your veterinarian.
