We've made it through the hard part with our puppy..yippie!!...Wait...More chewing?

Wellllll now it's teething time! Our little balls of fur have grown up and become wonderful dogs. But now the chewing is back...slippers, couches, table legs and more! Ahhhh! Ok....calm down. Our puppies are teething. They need another dose of fun stimuli to help them along through this time. Teething can be painful as we know and it is the same for dogs. They need something to chew on to help them loosen those baby teeth to bring in the new. Today Miss Daisy was rewarded with a marrow bone. She does not chew on our personal things, but does occasionally tear up a random trash item she reaches out of the garbage. I loaded up on Thrift Store toys again too. For the first time in a long time, she actually tore one up. This tells me I am on the right track. She is teething and she needs help. I would also watch for mood swings and depression. They may need a little more than bones and toys. If they are in pain, check the mouth to be sure there is no swelling or redness. When my other dog grew in his teeth, one did not fall out so it was wedged in with the new tooth. Needless to say, we got it out of there quick since it would have caused infection for sure. Good luck and get out there and buy some chew toys to save your possessions!
