Puppy teething usually begins around 3 weeks old and can continue up to 6 months. While it's a normal part of growing up, it can be an uncomfortable experience for your pup -and a challenge for you. Recognizing the signs and using the right puppy teething solutions can make all the difference.
Top 3 Puppy Teething Tips to Soothe Sore Gums
1. Provide Puppy-Safe Teething Toys
Choose durable, puppy teething toys designed to relieve discomfort and promote healthy chewing habits. Snuggle Puppy’s Puppy Teething Aid offers targeted relief for sore gums while protecting your furniture and shoes from unwanted chewing.
2. Use Frozen Chews for Gum Relief
Cold therapy is a great way to soothe sore puppy gums. Try freezing a damp washcloth, soft plush toy, or a teething-safe treat. This simple method helps numb the gums and satisfies their natural urge to chew.
3. Redirect and Reward Good Chewing Habits
When your puppy starts chewing on something inappropriate, gently redirect them to a safe option and praise them for making the switch. Positive reinforcement strengthens behavior and reduces frustration for both of you.
Comfort Counts During the Teething Phase
Teething may be temporary, but how you handle it can have long-term effects. With the right puppy teething solutions and a lot of love, you’ll help your pup feel safe, supported, and ready to grow into a happy, well-adjusted dog.
