What can I do to make teething less painful for my 9 week old puppy?
Puppy teeth.......?
The frozen toys suggestions are the way I go, it gives them a correct item (thier toys) to chew and the cold numbs the gums to reduce any pain. You can also just give the pup an ice cube a few times a day, my pup loves them and waits for me to give her another.
Reply:lots of wonderful chew toys is what I do...baby origel might work but puppy wont like it LOL main thing is too keep lots of good soft chew toys :)
Reply:Chewy toys, lots and lots of chewy toys. Try ropes, Kongs, hard ones like DentaBones, see what the puppy prefers. I don%26#039;t like rawhides or meat bones because they can swallow a chunk off both of these and have serious problems like intestinal blockages and such.
Reply:Teething really isn%26#039;t painful for them, but they do appreciate something to chew, like your fingers!
Buy some nylabone puppy packs, they come with three nylabones made just for puppies needs and they really like them.
Also, your puppy probably has a majority of it%26#039;s puppy teeth in, if not all. They start coming in at about 3 weeks old.
Reply:Get a small rope toy. Wet lightly (don%26#039;t soak) and put in freezer. Leave it there for a few hours. Then give it to your puppy. The cold rope is very soothing.
Reply:Get a kong toy, fill it with water and freeze it.
My dogs love it.
You can fill it with peanut butter too.
Reply:Find an appropriate sized bone for your pup to chew on, put it in the freezer to get it good %26amp; cold. Baby will enjoy emensley.
Also you can rub some baby teething ointment on the gums.
Good Luck :)
Reply:I have found they really like the knots in the ropes when teething.
Reply:The key thing is to provide a variety of toys %26amp; chews of varying textures and hardness. My puppy loves the rope toys, plush animals with a squeaker in it, pig ears, Kongs, etc. The only thing she doesn;t like is the more expensive Nyla-bone! lol... Also - find a stick for him/her to chew on and be prepared to vacuum the mess afterwards.
Reply:Wet an old wash cloth and put it in the freezer. When completely frozen give to pup. It helps to sooth the teething problem.
Reply:My puppy is teething right now, and her favorite thing to chew recently has beed the eyes off of any stuffed animal we have laying around (she won%26#039;t swallow them, we%26#039;ve found eyes all over the living room). We also bought her some nylabone toys that she wouldn%26#039;t touch before, but now that her teeth are coming in, she has really dug into. Hope your puppy feels better soon!
