Your puppy's teething phase can be quite challenging, with all the chewing on shoes and furniture. Typically, teething should subside as your puppy matures.
- Teething often concludes around 6-8 months of age.
- Providing proper chew toys can help alleviate discomfort.
- Consult a vet if your puppy continues to chew excessively beyond the normal age range.
Teething is a normal developmental stage for puppies, usually starting around 3 to 4 months of age and wrapping up by 6 to 8 months. During this period, your puppy will experience discomfort as their adult teeth come in. Offering safe and appropriate chew toys can provide relief and protect your belongings. If you find the teething process lingering, or if excessive chewing continues, it may be beneficial to consult a vet to rule out other concerns.
