Best way to tell dogs age?

[BaronSamedi]

My mum has recently taken in a lovely little female dog named Lilith, however no one can give her a definite answer on her age, she has been passed from one person to another in the last 4 months as she belonged to an elderly couple who have both passed away from Covid. My mums cleaner also worked for the couple and Lil had been with various family members, non of which wanted to keep her so she’s now mums bestie. But we have no idea how old she is ?

Is either her DOB or date of microchip implantation recorded on a microchip database?

Nope, we had her microchipped when she arrived as she didn’t have one.

Condition of teeth?
Graying hairs on muzzle?
General health condition..all can give a general guide to age..

Track down the neighbours and ask how long the lady had the dog.
Post a pic here a and we can do guesstimates of age..we like pics.

Well done your mom for taking her on..she seems destined to have a happy ending.
