Generally, puppies aged 4-6 months will enter the tooth changing period. During the tooth changing period, the old baby teeth will gradually fall off, and the new teeth will grow outward. During the growing period, the dog will feel pain and itching, so it will have the bad habit of biting things indiscriminately. So how should pet owners take care of their puppies during tooth change? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.
< h4>1. Dog bites gum+vegetable stick < /h4 > Because of toothache, dogs often show short-term aversion to the food in front of them. But if you don't eat for a few days, the owners will feel particularly distressed. What should I do? At this time, you might as well prepare some dog chews, vegetable sticks and the like for your dog. Dog chewing gum is a food made of bone glue and meat skin, which is hard enough in appearance and tastes good; Vegetables are hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and their shapes can also arouse dogs' interest. After eating these two foods, you don't have to worry about digestion.
When choosing food such as dog chewing gum and vegetable sticks, try to choose some milky products with milk flavor, which can better attract the dog's attention and stimulate his appetite. These dog chewing gum foods can be used as toys. Dogs can fill their stomachs while playing, and their owners don't have to worry about them anymore.
< h4>2. Give your dog some crushed ice < /h4 > When your dog changes his teeth, you can give your dog some crushed ice. The cold feeling can make the dog forget the pain of teething for a while, and the small crushed ice in his mouth will make the dog feel extremely interesting, thus diverting his attention, thinking that he has found a new snack, so he won't bite anything else.
Of course, dogs can't eat a lot of small pieces of ice, otherwise it will cause diarrhea. In another way, wet a knotted towel and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator. After it freezes, take it out for the dog to bite and play, so that you don't have to worry about the dog eating too much crushed ice, and it can temporarily relieve the pain of the dog.
It is worth reminding that when freezing towels, you must tie a knot first, otherwise the melted towels will drip everywhere, and it is easy for dogs to mistakenly think that all the towels in the house can be used for playing. After all, dogs don't have the ability to tell which towels can be played and which ones can't be moved. Therefore, as the owner, don't give the dog a flat towel to play with, and don't tempt the dog with fluffy slippers, otherwise you will be at your own risk!

The above is the nursing methods of puppies during tooth changing. I hope it can help everyone. Xiaobian reminds us that during the tooth changing period, the owner should put away the shoes, pads and other things that are easy for dogs to come into contact with, so as to prevent dogs from biting badly.
