Teething - young dog
Young dog rubbing teeth on objects. There can be confusion for persons and families who were unaware that young dogs (like human children) lose their puppy-baby teeth and grow new adult teeth.
Teething young dogs have itching, painful mouths which they tend to “rub” or try to chew on firm corners, surfaces and even wires or ropes to relieve their itching and help their new teeth emerge.
Corners of wooden furniture, door jambs, and so on might be taste-tested by a juvenile cutting its adult teeth. Electrical wires and phone cords might attract the attention of young dogs looking for new experiences or possible game toys.
It’s best to temporarily keep the young dog away from high value and potentially hazardous objects and places.
In the safe secure area provide suitable teething objects for the youngster to work its teeth on safely.
Some things such as wood toys and nylon-chews can shed splinters that could be swallowed and damage innards.
Preparing a home for a teething young dog was said by some people to feel much like “child-proofing” a home.
Teething is typical of all young dogs and has nothing to do with being deaf, blind or blind-deaf.
