Operation Puppy Teeth is in full swing

SewSleepy · 09-21-2012, 12:12 PM

Seven is teething and she's been alot mouthier the past couple of days. She doesn't seem to be interested in her normal chew toys, so I took a trip to the local pet store and stocked up on pig ears, pig snouts, a beef tendon and a curly bully stick. Hopefully this stash will last through the weekend and some of these adult teeth will emerge.

Gaia's favorite teething treat was a frozen dishrag/face cloth soaked in chicken broth.

Stosh liked the frozen rag too- also frozen whole raw carrots. They fit into those hard to reach back spaces

I also can speak for the frozen rag - it saved our lives! We also used to give Suki a small bowl of crushed ice to chew on, soothed her gums and satisfied her need to crunch into something.

I second ice. Dolly loved ice and basketballs. I had a white basketball that was always covered in blood because she always lost a toothy while playing with it. I then got her a jolly ball and played lots of tug.

I think these combos is what kept her from ever trying to bite any furniture.
