Dr. Becker Discusses Bones and Your Dog (Part 1)

At this age, your puppy will start losing baby teeth and grownup teeth will begin to erupt. In the process, no surface is off limits for his robust teething. He'll chew your furniture, shoes and anything else in his reach. Here's what you need to know about your puppy's teething.

Baby, or deciduous, teeth typically come in at 3 weeks of age in puppies.

By 3.5 months, your puppy will start to lose some baby teeth and adult teeth will begin to erupt; the entire teething process is typically complete at around 6 months of age, and longer for some puppies.

During this time, and often lasting through the first year of life, your puppy may try to chew on anything he can get his mouth on, including your shoes and furniture; take care to remove objects that your puppy could choke on and provide plenty of safe options for chewing.

Try putting your puppy’s silicone chew toy in the freezer; the cold can help relieve teething pain. You can also offer frozen treats, such as blueberries or small pieces of carrots.

During teething, get your pup used to having his mouth gently touched as part of his daily routine; it’s the first step to regular brushing.
