The Ultimate Guide to Teething Puppies: What to Give (and What to Avoid)

What Happens When Puppies Teethe?

Between 3 to 6 months of age, puppies go through an intense teething stage as their baby teeth fall out and adult teeth push through. This process can lead to sore gums, biting, drooling, and a strong urge to chew on everything—shoes, baseboards, hands, you name it.

Why Chewing Is Crucial During Teething

Chewing isn’t just a habit—it’s a biological need for teething puppies. Chewing relieves pressure on their gums, soothes inflammation, and keeps them occupied. But not all chews are safe, and some can even make things worse.

✅ Best Chews for Teething Puppies

At Chomper Treat Box, we’ve created the Light Chewer Puppy Teething Box using 100% all-natural chews that are gentle on young teeth, easy to digest, and perfectly sized for puppies. Here’s what’s inside—and why your pup will love it:

1. Rolled Pig Skin

A light, crunchy chew that softens as your puppy chews. It's perfect for soothing sore gums while offering a satisfying texture without being too tough.

2. Lamb Cheek Chews

Rich in natural flavor, lamb cheek chews are slightly chewy, highly digestible, and gentle on sensitive puppy mouths. Plus, they're a great protein boost!

3. Thin Bully Sticks

Made from a single ingredient—100% beef—our thinner bully sticks are ideal for puppies. They’re tasty, long-lasting, and help reduce destructive chewing habits.

4. Gullet Sticks

Softer than traditional chews, gullet sticks are packed with natural flavor and collagen. They support joint health while giving teething puppies a safe outlet to chew.

5. Collagen Sticks

These chews promote healthy skin, joints, and fur while giving your pup a soft but satisfying chewing experience. A great alternative to rawhide!

6. Collagen Chips

Flat, crunchy, and quick to chew—collagen chips are a fun snack that also supports joint and skin health during the crucial puppy development stage.

❌ What to Avoid During Teething

Some commonly available chew options can be too hard, too processed, or downright dangerous. Avoid:

🚫 Cooked Bones

Cooked bones splinter easily and can lead to choking or internal injuries.

🚫 Rawhide

Often chemically treated and hard to digest, rawhide can cause blockages or allergic reactions.

🚫 Ice Cubes

While they might seem like a cooling treat, hard ice cubes can actually crack fragile baby teeth.

🚫 Plastic or Nylon Chew Toys

These can break into sharp pieces or wear down teeth, especially if your puppy is a power chewer.

Extra Tips for Surviving the Teething Phase

• Rotate chews to keep your pup interested and reduce boredom.

• Freeze soft chews like beef tendons for extra gum relief.

• Supervise all chewing until you're confident in how your dog handles the chew.

• Pair chews with training to teach your pup what’s OK to bite—and what’s off-limits.
