Whether you’re the new owner of a small pup, or have been taking care of dogs for decades, you know the drill with teething—it can be a tough time for your pet, and sometimes, an even tougher time for your stuff! If you’re not sure where to turn, you’re not alone; don’t let anything else in your home fall victim to your puppy’s teething habits—instead, consult the experts at Robinwood Kennel in Highland Heights, KY. 

With years of experience and expertise in the field of pet daycare and dog grooming, these professionals can help you save your stuff, and give your dog some relief from the pain of teething—a win-win for both you and your pet! See below for some tips on how to tackle teething:

1. Rope toys: These are inexpensive, long-lasting, and good for a puppy to chew on as long as he likes.
2. Chilled carrots: Nutritional, soothing, and tasty! What’s not to love?
3. Crate training: Train your puppy to stay in his crate while the family’s away; that way, he won’t chew anything up while you’re gone.
4. Say “no”: Whenever you find your puppy chewing on something he shouldn’t, let him know it’s not OK. Equally important, make sure to praise him when he does pick up a toy instead.
5. Avoidance: Avoid toys that resemble things you don’t want to chewed up, like shoes or cell phones. It’s good not to confuse your puppy, and be consistent when playing with him.

When you’re out of town or want to freshen up your pet, take him to Robinwood Kennel. Otherwise, follow these tips and tricks to save your things, and make teething that much easier on your furry friend. Call today for more information at (859) 781-2352.
