Puppies love to chew – on anything.  However, chewing can cost you thousands of dollars in vet’s bills, not to mention damaged furniture and household goods.   Follow a few simple tips to keep puppy’s teeth free of your valuables, and healthy and happy. 

Puppies are so lovable.  People are entertained when puppy chews on a sock as if it were a snake in the bushes.  He will wag his tail at it, pounce, and then chew until it’s shredded on the floor. The trouble is, eating things that he is not supposed to can get his stomach and digestive tract into all sorts of trouble, which could potentially ever require surgery.   

Your children, for example, may have many toys all over the place. Most of these are not made or durable puppy chew-proof rubber.  They can chew a ball or toy to pieces in no time.  Some dogs even love to eat metal. All of these bits can result in puppy indigestion, diarrhea, which can be fatal in pups, or intestinal blockages, also potentially fatal.
