Every puppy has to go through the teething process, but unfortunately most owners are relatively uninformed about the whole process. It can be uncomfortable for your dog and trying for you, which is why puppy teething relief can provide sanity for the both of you.

What most people do not realize is that puppies have two teething periods in their lives. The first period comes at about three weeks old when their baby teeth come in. This is what most owners do not realize is happening. Puppies typically do not experience the same pain in period one as they do in the period two. Period two is when their adult teeth come in. This is when the puppies discomfort is realized.

Your puppy will begin to get adult teeth at 6 months of age. The canines come in first, followed by the incisors and finally the pre-molars.

Dogs might have discomfort from teething, using your shoes and furniture as chew toys. You can help prevent this by providing some much needed puppy teething relief.

When puppies start their chewing stage it means that they are starting to teethe. During this stage they will chew anything they can get their teeth into. If you ask any owner why their puppy does this, they will usually say that it is just something puppies do. While this is true, they are really chewing because by putting pressure on their teeth and gums they are actually relieving pain from teething.

Your puppy may be chewing your new shoes. Unfortunately, chewing comes naturally to your pet and you wont be able to stop it. But your veterinarian can supply a medication in gel-form that can make your dog feel better, and perhaps lessen his urge to chew. Chew toys are a good alternative; get your pet accustomed to them. Perhaps your puppy will find one he prefers over objects in your home

One thing that will feel good on your puppy's gums is the cold. So try freezing some of his chew toys overnight and offering them to him in the morning. This will hopefully lessen both the swelling and the discomfort in the gum area. It's best to have a large selection of dog toys and always rotate them through the freezer so there is always a cold one ready and waiting for your puppy.

A puppy will use your shoes to help get it through its teething period. This is not a pleasant time for your puppy which thankfully does not last all that long. Providing a little bit of puppy teething relief at this stage will help ease the discomfort and may just save your favorite pair of shoes.
