Puppy’s teeth are very sharp and they can chew through most materials and break pieces off. It’s wise therefore to ensure that whatever you give your puppy can’t end up getting lodged in his mouth or choking him.

No matter what size your puppy is, try to stick to fairly large chewy toys as there is less likelihood of him swallowing them.

There are many types of toy bones on the market, ones made out of nylon, rawhide, rubber etc. All of these toys will help in the growth and development of your puppy’s teeth and jaws.

Rawhide bones are very popular because of course they are tasty and can be gradually eaten by your puppy. As the hide softens it gives the puppy different textures to enjoy and can keep him occupied for a long time.

There’s another type of bone which is basically a container, which you can fill with water then put it in the freezer. Once frozen this will also provide hours of interest for your puppy whilst at the same time help to alleviate the soreness in his gums.

Toys which feel crunchy when bitten into will help to satisfy a puppy’s chewing instinct. Chew chains made up of canvass rope are great for removing soft tartar from a puppy’s teeth and help to keep his mouth clean and free of germs.

There are some toys in the pet shop which have a hole in them, and these can be great for putting something tasty inside thus giving the puppy a whole new dimension to his chewing. It can be a special type puppy sausage, or any other titbits you know he enjoys.

Always make absolutely sure when choosing the toys that they are safe for your puppy to chew. Remember their teeth are very sharp and can destroy things fairly quickly, so you don’t want to go for flimsy toys or ones that can end up at the back of their throat and cause them to choke, of even block their airways.

If you have friends with a puppy, or even a grown up tolerant dog, get together and let puppy have a wonderful time chasing around with another live “toy”. This will strengthen his body and also teach him to become sociable.

Don’t give your puppy all his toys at once. Alternate them so he doesn’t get bored with them. Keep them as completely separate from other things in the home as possible, so he gets to know they are “his” and he can chew them if he wants to.

Playtime is also learning time for your puppy, so make it an exciting experience by giving him a variety of puppy chewing toys and he will grow up to be a well balanced member of the family.
