My Japanese Chin rescue had to have a whole bunch (10 or so) iof teeth removed a few years ago (due to poor care when she was a breeder dog in a puppy mill.) It hasnt affected her at all. No difficulty eating dry dog food, chewing on rawhide, etc. I do make sure her teeth get brushed now. I have a baby toothbrush and I put dog tooth paste on it and she chews away. She won’t let me open her mouth to brush the teeth she has left so.

If they hadn’t pulled the bad teeth it would eventually damage the dogs health. Don’t be sad or mad they did it. It had to be done.

I don’t recall being called because the vet didn’t know teeth had to be pulled until dog was under and she was working on her.
