Teething

[Tamara & Giada]

HELP! My little baby is SOooo sore with teething--she can barely eat. What are some good tricks for relief?

[Tamara & Giada]

She has lost a few it looks like, but I have yet to find any. I just wet her loofa dog toy and put it in the freezer to give her tomorrow--so we shall see how that works. I bought baby teethers too, but didn't last. I feel SOoo bad for her:(

[Tamara & Giada]

The frozen toy worked good! I may also try the washcloth, but I am in agreement with Sienna on her point about not wanting her to get in the habbit of chewing on our washcloths. I'd be affraid she would think ALL washcloths were hers to chew:(

Try freezing a soaked washcloth...might numb their teeth a bit.

Kodie has lost all of her canines, and some molars in the back....I have managed to pull 2 canine's that were hanging by a thread in her mouth...I have them saved! I give her plenty of nylabones to chew on. As soon as the teeth come out, new ones appear rather quickly....I am so happy the "needle" baby teeth came out.....those are painful at times.....

[Tamara & Giada]

Just found a tooth of Giada's!! We have given her frozen things all day, and soft food, so she is doing much better. Found blood on her rawhide bone. Poor baby:(

I bought a round rubber teething ring made for dogs.....they sell it at Country Max and also Target
costs $4.99 usually, i'd put it in freezer and then give it to my doodles. it lasts about 6mos

also a marrow bone might be good too. At 6mos they've lost most or all of their baby teeth with strong chewing urges. At 10mos they need to break in adult teeth , so once again have lots of chew toys and some bones around

kongs are great too, i even bought the Kong teether and put it in freezer too

Max is teething. he just lost two molars. Poor guy has no canines. His teething breath is KILLIN me!

I found this info on the net that may be helpful for those going through teething or will in the near future.

Your dog will lose his puppy teeth when he's between 3 and 7 months. Expect dog teething to last for several months. Get ready for this time in your pet's life by planning ahead.


Prepare yourself by knowing the canine dental stages:

* 3 months: puppy incisors start to fall out
* 4 months: adult canines and molars push in
* 6 to 7 months: adult molars arise
* 8 months: full set of 42 teeth
