Underbite

[Cleo2014]

So I knew this when getting my new puppy Relic. He has a slight underbite that his breeder said may correct itself when his adult teeth come in. I am not worried about him cosmetically, but are there any concerns I should be worrying about? I have his first vet appointment this weekend, but I am just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this issue. Thanks!

Lexi has an underbite as well. It has never really caused any issues. The only thing for her is that sometimes she gets treats stuck in her mouth and it's harder for her to get them, so we help by fishing them out. It never posed an issue, I just feel bad for her when she's trying to get the treat from the side of her mouth and she can't!

Shelby has a underbite too. It has never caused her any issues. I do notice she eats differently from her bowl. She kind of pushes the food up the side to eat it. She also has trouble taking treats "nice" b/c in order to get the treat in her mouth her bottom teeth get your fingers. We are OK with it but it can startle others.
