Cheap Pet Insurance

July 19th, 2010 by Brendan Beveridge

Puppies love chewing on everything they can get their paws on and though it might get you frustrated that you lost your favorite pair of shoes, screaming at the pup will do no good.

There is nothing you can to do stop an infant dog gnawing away at everything in sight as their teeth are extremely sensitive. So put your shoes away in storage until the biting stops.

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 ap petite 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.

Puppies do need to gnaw at something to ease help ease their teething sensitivity, so make sure you give your pup ample items to chew on.

Whatever you give your dog to chew, make sure the objects do not have any loose bits that might come off and choke your puppy. Also avoid any old toys that might have poisonous chemicals present in the paint or material. Good toys for chewing can be rubber balls or rubber bones – these are perfectly safe.

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.

In the case where you need the wires lying about the house or if they’re a permanent fixture, then you can apply some safe but distasteful ointment onto the cables to stop your dog from wanting to ever chew on it again.

Just know that this teething period will pass in good time so in the meantime, you job will be to keep a close eye on your dog to make sure it plays safely. Never leave your puppy to run around on its own unsupervised in the garden.
