Puppies and Pacifiers? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

sabsab00 · 09-12-2007, 07:22 AM

Just had a quick question....Is it ok to let them chew on baby pacifiers? I know sometimes on human babies it can effect their teeth. Is that the same in the case with puppies? I was thinking it might help Buster and his teething (and save my poor fingers)

I would be afraid that he would chew through it and swallow the pieces... Try some bully sticks they are great for teething.

Take him to the pet store with you and check out some of the chewing toys see if he is interested in them/ They have some tiny teething congs there to which are chewy like your fingers lol.

The breeder where I got Zada had pacifiers for all her puppies to chew on. When I got Zada home, I gave her a 1" thick beef femur bone to chew on and she LOVED it. I trimmed the bone and took out the marrow first.
Bully sticks can cause some major diarrhea. They just need something to chew on, not to "eat". Good eating habits need to be developed and that means only feed them their food. Stay away from snacks and such for quite awhile.
