Chewing is a natural urge for puppies and adult dogs. Find a good all natural chew for your pups. They are doing these mischievous behaviors because they have an inborn need to chew. They will grab almost anything in order to satisfy this need. They can't help it. You can pen them up if you want but that is not going to solve your problem. Once they are out and about they are going to keep looking for something to chew on. One bite into an electrical wire or your new shoes as all going to cause an even bigger upset. Rawhide has been found to be a choking hazard and it also can cause blockages in the stomach and intestines. Find a good healthy digestible chew for your pets and let them work off this natural urge. It is best not to leave your pet alone with a chew and you want to take it away when it gets down to the size that may cause choking. |
Oh those fun teething stages.... you didn't mention how old she is, but I'm guessing around 5-6 months? She will grow out of it! My boys ate everything at that age! They were gated into the kitchen when I couldn't supervise, I wish I knew about Xpens back then. It would have saved my kitchen molding, cabinets & walls, which they destroyed.. along with their beds, harnesses, leashes, my shoes, socks, pants, bras, underwear, laptop cord & keyboard (:confused:), legs on furniture, chapticks, peepads, tupperware... the list goes on & on. Put her in an Xpen when you are not watching her. So she can't get to your cabinets, walls & molding at least. I bought cheap beds and toys for those months, and learned to shut my closet doors and blame myself when they chewed up something. Bully sticks came in handy to focus them on something they were allowed to chew. My boys are 8 years old now and every once in awhile, they go on a tear and chew up DH's socks or underwear, or my pants or rummage through the trash for tissues and such! Gross!!! But they have gotten much much better! |
