Puppy Care: Puppy Teething Relief For Both You And Your Pet
Every puppy has to go through the teething process, but unfortunately most owners are relatively uninformed about the whole process. It can be uncomfortable for your dog and trying for you, which is why puppy teething relief can provide sanity for the both of you.
Puppies actually teeth twice in their lives. The first period is at around 3 weeks of age. They get their baby teeth then. Generally, this process doesn’t cause as much discomfort or chewing behavior as the adult teething period later on. Sometimes owners may not even notice that their puppy is getting his baby teeth.
Adult teeth begin to appear in your puppy around the time they are 6 months old. First the canines will appear, then incisors, then finally the pre-molars.
Dogs might have discomfort from teething, using your shoes and furniture as chew toys. You can help prevent this by providing some much needed puppy teething relief.
You’ll no doubt notice that your dog is suddenly chewing on everything at this time! Neither your clothes nor your furniture is safe. Many people pass it off as being part of puppyhood, but you can be assured that it means he is getting his adult teeth, and gnawing on your stuff is the way he’s trying to alleviate the discomfort.
Chewing is something that all puppies do naturally and there are some things that can be done to help your puppy and your furniture. There is some gel medicine that you can get from your vet that might help the puppy’s pain. When the puppy feels less pain they will chew less. Get new chew toys and only allow the puppy to play with those. If the puppy is chewing on a chair leg for instance, take a chew toy and place it in front of the puppy, more likely than not the puppy with take the chew toy and leave your chair leg alone.
When your puppy is teething, give them cold things to chew on. The cold feels good on the gums, helping to reduce pain and inflammation. Place their chew toys in the freezer overnight so they’ll be ready in the morning. Keeping a supply in the freezer is a great idea, so you always have a cold chew toy to offer when your puppy needs a distraction from teething pains.
While the teething period is short, it is very uncomfortable for your puppy. You can help him through this time with puppy teething relief products. If you’re lucky enough to still have an intact pair of shoes, be thankful. You’ll need them to train your dog to walk on a leash!
