How to tell the age of a dog?

How can you tell the age of a dog? I work at a shelter and all of the vet techs look at their teeth but I never have asked what they are looking for. Are they just seeing how dirty the teeth are and then guesstimating?

Answer #1

if yellow is at the top they are 2 years old or more

Answer #2

When they look at there teeth they are looking at the size and the color and that is how they determine the dogs age!

Answer #3

Ask the vet techs. They’ll tell you.
