Puppy Teething?
Your puppy will be teething for a long time yet!!!!





I have a 4 month old Lab puppy and she is still teething and she has a long way to go yet!!!!





I give our puppy ice cubes to chew on. This seems to help with the sore gums and with the swelling!!!








Puppies will teeth until they get their adult teeth!!!





My puppy uses me as her own chew toy!!!


i give her a lot of toys and bones to chew on!!!





I have taken a wet dish towel and placed it in the freezer and then give it to out puppy to chew on.





The ice cubes are the best thing. The only thing is the more ice you give your puppy the more it will have to go outside!!!





Good Luck!!





P.S. Just have a lot of patience and love!!!
Reply:you might have a time to go with it, buy teething rings like you would for a child and freeze it, this can and will help you in the long run.


good luck
Reply:give her a toy instead of your hand and teach her to play with a toy instead and firmly tell her no when she bites you. Good luck.
Reply:around six months is when there big k-9s come in. So I would guess 8 to 9 months. So you have a little longer yet. Give him thins to chew on. Puppy's are so darn cute. But man I think they can be like little termites when teething..Teehee
Reply:Puppies have no teeth at birth, and grow deciduous teeth beginning their second week of life.





At three months of age, the deciduous teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent teeth.





The replacement process begins with the incisors, and moves backwards through the canines, premolars and finally the molars. The turnover process is usually complete by the time the dog is eight months old, with none of the original 28 deciduous teeth remaining





. Most deciduous teeth are swallowed with food and never seen by the pet owner. Occasionally a deciduous tooth is merely pushed to the side and retained next to the permanent tooth. Retained deciduous teeth can be removed by a veterinarian.





The incisors turn over from deciduous to permanent from two to four months of age. The canines usually convert around six months of age. The premolars and molars follow in that order, with the last permanent molar erupting around eight months .





The exact schedule does vary from breed to breed. If you're lucky, you might even be able fomd one or two to save in your dog's scrapbook :-)

Reply:Puppies dont usually stop chewing or teathing until they are about one and a half years old. Even then dogs naturally chew so you might want to keep some extra chew toys available.
Reply:Just like human infants, puppies often learn about things by chewing. It's not necessarily teething (attempting to lessen tooth pain by chewing), especially if your puppy is very young.





When your puppy chews or bites things that you would prefer she does not chew, firmly say "no" and take the item away (or take her away from the item). She's still learning the rules and you need to help her understand what is ok and what is not.
Reply:They are usually done around 6 months. That is also around the time you should get them spayed/neutered. Ask your vet to check their puppy teeth because if they have any remaining they will pull them out while your dog is under as to not cause tooth problems later.
Reply:Puppies will usually teeth until they are about 6 months old, but will vary depending on each dog. But chewing and biting is a natural behavior in dogs and it should not be punished. You have to show her what is good chewing and bad chewing. Let her lick your hand and nibble on your fingers where she doesn't put any pressure on your skin that will hurt you. If she does hurt you make a loud "OUCH!" and tell her firmly, but kindly, "no bite." Puppies and dogs chew for many reasons, out of boredom, when they are anxious or nervous. Getting her rawhide treats will help, she will love them and will keep her entertained. Also get some rubber toys like Nylabones or Kongs, which you can find at your local petstore. These will help with her teething. As you show her whats good and bad chewing, don't forget to give her lots of praise and you may also give her treats when she licks your hand without biting, or gives you a gentle nibble. You may also want to consider puppy training now that she is young, some classes start as early as 8 wks old. It is much more worth it in the long run and you will appreciate it more. I wish I would have taken my dog to puppy training and I would have avoided a lot of chewed up shoes!.
Reply:I have a sheltie that is a 1 1/2 yrs old and she is still teething. I guess it all depends on the breed of dog. Just make sure that she has plenty of chew toys or teething ring to chew on and not you or something she shouldn't have. Good luck and congrats on the new pup!
