Furniture, shoes, toys and tennis balls are all prime targets for the little puppy that you’ve just brought home. When this happens, you might be inclined to discipline your dog but avoid doing this.

When a puppy goes through its teething period, it just can’t be helped and unlike full-grown dogs, they know no better. The only thing you can do is keep your precious things out of the puppy’s reach.you will be able to find formulated dog food at any good pet store, especially made for teething dogs. The type of food needs to not be too crunchy or it will be difficult for your pup to chew. Your dog might even suffer a loss of appetite for a few days and it’s normal. Just make sure you give it plenty of water to drink to maintain its level of hydration.Chewing on anything that might splinter like wood or bones should be avoided though you can buy special chewing bones from the pet store designed for dogs with overly sensitive teeth. Chewing on these type of objects should be encouraged as it can help your dog get past this stage of its life.As they are not much different from babies and know no better, don’t give them any toys that can break off into smaller pieces that might accidentally be swallowed. Safe toys can be anything from a rag doll to an old tennis ball, anything that you don’t need or want any longer can be used as a chew toy.Other dangerous items around the house that could harm a dog would be anything with an electrical current running through it (obviously). Puppies just love biting through cables and similar items so keep them out of reach of your dog.To prevent any serious harm to your dog, you can either get a pet fence installed to set boundaries within your home, or you can apply some rubbing alcohol to the electrical cables. One bite and your puppy will find the taste too horrid to proceed any further.In conclusion, there are no precise or set times as to when a puppy’s teething might cease, so keep a close eye on what goes into the pup’s mouth until it does. For safety reasons, you will most likely have to put limits to how far your dog can wander even if it’s just the back yard.
