Frequently Asked Questions: Lagotto Romagnolo Teeth
Do Lagotto Romagnolo dogs have dental problems?

How do I brush a Lagotto Romagnolo’s teeth?
Use a small-to-medium dog toothbrush and enzymatic toothpaste. Keep the muzzle coat trimmed around the mouth to reduce food trapping. Daily brushing is recommended. Lagotti are intelligent, cooperative dogs that adapt to dental routines well.
When do Lagotto Romagnolo puppies lose their baby teeth?
Between 3–6 months, gaining all 42 adult teeth by approximately 7 months.
How often do Lagotto Romagnolo dogs need professional dental cleaning?
Annual professional dental cleanings are the standard recommendation, with more frequent visits if tartar accumulates rapidly or muzzle hygiene is difficult to maintain.
