I've done some research and there are lots of arguments for and against it, but I wondered what you guys thought about ice cubes as a teething remedy? Loki just went nuts chewing everything he could so I've given him an ice cube and its calmed him down a bit. Is this ok?

definitely, they were my puppy's favorite treat at that age

I've seen lots of people saying that, but also some saying the pup could choke :/

just supervise and keep an eye on them, you can try different shaped ice cubes as well if you are worried, or crunch them into smaller pieces

Thanks he's finished it and crunched it up himself! Kept losing it under the sofa though haha.

We used ice cubes. Like every other thing with puppies. Supervise.

 

[Kittilicious]

Yep, just watch him

The other thing I did was took a wet washcloth and froze it and let him chew on that.

A puppy could choke on anything. Supervise and you will be fine.

Fiona loves ice cubes. If it is too big she will drop it on the floor and break it up.

Ava has always loved ice cubes. She especially loves them if I freeze some of her kibble in them. What a great treat!

Ice cubes are AWESOME!! Nothing like watching a puppy bounce after them as they slide across the floor. Just supervise and enjoy!

We started ice cubes at 8 weeks and they lasted 10 min of playtime and now 18 weeks and and its 2 crunchies and gone =)

speaking of ice cubes... saw this on Facebook:

Freeze water and chicken stock with toys, carrots, treats, etc to keep dogs from getting bored and overheated.

 

[Sheriandloki]

Haha! That's sure to keep them occupied!
