I bought some dog teethers that you can put in the freezer to soothe her gums as she chews. Baby teething rings would probably work the same. The vet said that we would need to get her teeth pulled if they didn't fall out on their own by the time she was a year old. We waited it out. It took about 1 yr. 2mo. She seems to llike the bat-shaped puppy teether. It stands up on its own and she would anchor it with her paws and chew it until it wasn't cold anymore. I bought 2 and switched them out overnight in the freezer. Hope this helps!

Here are a few links to teething toys:

ok the vet did say that he would pull them out if i have her spayed but. i don't think i want her spayed. so the tug a war thing sounds like it makes sense. how hard should i pull on her teeth when she does tug of war?
