Puppies begin teething between the ages of 3 and 6 months. They chew everything they can find within reach at home to soothe the pain and discomfort of pressure on their gums. The process of puppy teething stages can be facilitated by providing chewable toys and simple aid like ice cubes.
Puppy Teething Toys
Chewable toys are made of rubber or hard plastic, but will not damage the development of teeth and gums. These toys not only help when teething but also interfere with the puppies from household items such as furniture and damaged shoes during this stage. Toys are provided to puppies for the purpose of having some fun and playing.
Kong chew toys are made of natural rubber and are an excellent choice for your puppy to relieve the pressure that they are feeling in their gums. Running water in Kong Chilly Bones and clotting provide soothing relief for sore gums. Nylabones are chewable plastic that has the shape of a bone, triangular, and the ball and the sticks are seasoned with chicken, bacon, or liver. Simple rope toys for dogs can be soaked in chicken broth or beef and frozen in order to make them fun and engrossed in the teething process.
There is also ring gear for a puppy that is made with all-natural ingredients that are easy to digest. This product cleans the teeth, massages the gums, and even cools the breath. Other themed toys made of rubber or hard plastic are available in various forms, such as for human babies, but more powerful for chewing dogs.
Ice Cubes for Teething Puppies
Some easy home remedies for relieving pain in the swelling of the gums include making ice cubes or ice from Aloe Vera juice. This substance is natural and has a bitter taste found in health food stores. Ice cream can also be prepared with chicken or beef broth to get the treatment that is tasty but useful.
Owners can gently massage the gums of their puppies with a toothbrush or finger-moistened soft dog cold water or as cool as ice. It also teaches the animals to get used to brushing their teeth because of good oral hygiene.
Although human infants benefit from the application of Orajel or Anbesol on their gums, this is not recommended for puppies. The ingredients in this product are similar and can cause a severe allergic reaction, which requires emergency visits to veterinarians. Raw skin bones should not be given to puppies because it is difficult to digest, especially in young people.
The best way to facilitate the process of teething puppies is to give them chew toys designed specifically to calm stages of pain and inconvenience. The best thing is to give the puppy only two or three toys to dedicate to it rather than too many. The owner can then throw away and destroy the used ones before their valuable animals are drowned in small pieces.

All in all, the best thing you can do is protect your puppy from a potentially dangerous situation and help it succeed in this important stage of development.
Here are some ideas to help your puppy’s “bad” and help him safely:
- Keep the puppy with a lot of exercise and attention to relieve the boredom that often leads to chewing.
- Use commercial sprays to reduce chewing on household items: Listerine is also good.
- Do not give the puppy old socks or old shoes for chewing; it cannot distinguish the old from the new ones.
- Give your puppy toys to chew; it is also good for your puppy while its teeth start growing.
- Give them a puppy toy while behaving, when chewing on something that they should not.
- Move away some of the things when your puppy is out of reach: Keep plants away (many are poisonous), remove the pencil and books, cover all the power cords, and any other such things.
With a little planning, patience, and kindness, you can help your puppy take this important step in his life and help him become a great dog for your liking.
