Chance is on a distinguished road
Teeth

Hi everyone. I hope we're all well. Been to the vets tonight for my last injection so I can play out properly very soon.

Anyway, you don't want to hear all that on a thread called "Teeth". my question is; In our garden I keep digging up lots of lumps of concrete/stone which I carry round and then sit there chewing. Will I hurt my teeth and gums doing this or should I just be left to it?

BTW - I have loads of chews/balls/boots/ropes/ things provided which I do play with. Just occasionally I go for the lump of stone!

Re: Teeth

Hi!

As you mention injections I assume you have a puppy, in which case this is perfectly normal.

As your puppy matures he will lose his first set of teeth, and grow his adult teeth. Puppies go through teething pains just like babies and chewing give some relief.

You can encourage him to chew 'Kong' toys (these are great for chewers), by squirting them with tasty doggy paste

Perfectly normal - my youngest is almost 8 month, skirting boards, brick walls, plaster and stones in the garden have all taken their toll, hopefully they grow out of it at around the year mark - hope I'm right otherwise mine will consume the house!!!

Re: Teeth

I prescribe some raw meaty bones!

I wouldn't worry about chewing rocks though unless the teeth start to noticably wear down! There's lots of useful nutrients in soil too!

Re: Teeth

It is not the swallowing it that worries me - It's the passing at the other end that could cause problems!
