Atlas, our European Doberman puppy begins teething at 16 weeks old and 5 days. He lost one of his top incisor on March 3, 2020.

Atlas turned 17 weeks old on March 6th, 2020, just a day before he receives his final vaccinations. On his vet visit, he received his rabies shot and DHPP vaccination and our vet diagnosed Atlas with puppy pyoderma.
