Chloe is starting to lose her first few puppy teeth The adult teeth are already starting to grow in (and just when you think the chewing will slow down) I'm expecting a lot of chewing...everything lol.

Looks like the tooth fairy is gonna have to give her a few more toys and treats to help her out I also heard that ice is great for them during their teething stages. I started giving her a plastic bag with a few ice cubes...she loves it so far but her A.D.D. doesn't allow her to chew on it long enough for it to seem to help lol

We give our little girl ice too. We just give it to her one cube at a time, she has a blast chasing it around the floor then crunching it up. It's worth at least 5 minutes of pure joy!

She loves chasing single cubes too! Her teeth aren't quite strong enough yet to actually break it down and she always seems to lose it on the floor somewhere to melt within a few minutes but she loves it

Labs seem to love ice. It is good for teething dogs as it reduces inflammation in the gums from the growth of new teeth.

How old is your puppy? Mines 6months almost and I haven't noticed any teeth coming actually out yet, I know it's supposed to be around this age though which is a shame cos she's just started behaving as well

Generally you won't see their teeth coming out. Sometimes they are swallowed with their food or sometimes on the floor near where they have been chewing on something.
Usually by the time they are six months old their adult teeth start coming in, pushing the baby teeth out.

What is A.D.D. please?

ADD = Attention Deficit Disorder. Usually found in kids along with Hyperactivity disorder, then it's ADHD.

Duke started to lose teeth around 6 months too, the proceess seemed pretty fast. We were finding teeth all over the place! Duke is now 9 months with all adult teeth and still chews like a maniac. He goes through toys like nobodys business.

We still give him ice, because every time I open the freezer he wants a cube haha. I would scrap the plastic bad idea and just give her the cubes.

Chloe is about 7months now and has most of her teeth. They grew in really quick I was surprised. She still, as always chews on everything lol
