Puppy Dog And Kitten Teething
The teething stage in puppies and kittens can be very trying anduncomfortable for both pet and guardian but there are natural solutions thatcan help. At around 4 months of age, puppies and kittens lose their first setof teeth and the adult teeth begin to emerge from the gums. The teethingprocess and associated discomfort continues on and off for several months.As with human babies, the puppy teething process is often painful or, at thevery least, uncomfortable for your pet. Teething will be evidenced by anincrease in chewing and biting on everything imaginable that your puppy canget its mouth on.Teething discomfort will often make a puppy cry or show irritability as well asbite and chew on objects, including fingers. Appetite loss and diarrhea mayalso occur, though these symptoms are not common. While a puppy’steething can be trying to guardians, the teething process helps thepermanent teeth to emerge more easily from the gums. The puppy’s chewinghelps to relieve the discomfort of the tooth coming through the gums. Easingthe pain will reduce destructive teething behavior.Eliminating the chewing of a teething puppy is not easily done and isprobably unnecessary. However,you can minimize the damagerather thanprevent biting and chewing altogether. Never hit, kick, slap or punish yourdog no matter the circumstances or your level of frustration; this is thequickest way to erode the dog's trust in you. (Yes, your pet will still love you;even abused dogs love their owners.)
