Chewing during teeth change

All behaviour guides

Why it happens

Between roughly 3 and 7 months the 28 puppy teeth fall out and 42 adult teeth erupt. Gums ache, chewing relieves the pressure.

What works

  1. Offer rotating legal chews: rubber toys, puppy chews, a wet frozen cloth for sore gums, and splinter-resistant coffee tree or olive wood chews.
  2. Manage the space: shoes and cables out of reach, this phase is temporary.
  3. Trade calmly when the wrong item is grabbed, never chase.

What makes it worse

  • Do not punish chewing itself, the need is physical and real.
  • No cooked bones or very hard antlers for puppy teeth, fractures happen.

Keep this in mind

Finding tiny teeth on the floor is normal, most are swallowed harmlessly. The storm largely passes by month 7.

What owners usually need for this

  • Coffee tree wood chew
  • Olive wood chew
  • Rubber chew toy
  • Puppy chews

All of these are in the Pawty Marketplace, filtered to retailers that deliver to your country.

When to get help in person

Pawty is educational content, not veterinary or behavioural advice. See a veterinarian for any sudden behaviour change or sign of pain, and a qualified behaviourist in person if your dog has bitten, guards with snapping, or panics when left alone. Read our approach.

Train it, do not just read about it

Pawty also has 99 training skills in 3-minute sessions you rate 1 to 5 paws, streaks that freeze instead of reset, and a care calendar. Free. No subscription, no paywall.
