Dog grinding her teeth

Sadie has recently started grinding her teeth - it looks like she is chattering them together, but definitely sounds like she is grinding them.

Is this normal? and should I be worried?

You need to check it out with your vet as it can be a sign of pain.

Well past teething then , although it could be a dental problem.

I would agree it can be a pain response, dental or otherwise, so a vet check is in order.

Occasionally it can be a displacement or tension release behaviour.
