Frequently Asked Questions: Berger Picard Teeth
Do Berger Picards have dental problems?
Berger Picards have moderate-to-high dental disease risk. Their characteristically rough, shaggy coat extends to facial furnishings that trap food near the gumline. Like other rough-coated herding breeds, the food-trap coat combined with active post-meal sniffing creates chronic gum exposure to food debris.
How do I brush a Berger Picard’s teeth?
Use a medium-to-large toothbrush and enzymatic toothpaste. Wipe the facial coat around the muzzle after meals before brushing. Daily brushing is recommended. Berger Picards are intelligent, loyal dogs that adapt well to dental routines when trained consistently from puppyhood.
When do Berger Picard puppies lose their baby teeth?
Between 3–6 months, gaining all 42 adult teeth by approximately 7 months.
How often do Berger Picards need professional dental cleaning?
Annual professional cleanings with good daily home care; twice yearly if the facial coat is not actively managed between meals.
