Tiny Teeth, Big Drama: Surviving the Terrible Chews

16th Feb, 2026

One minute your puppy is a sleepy ball of fluff. The next? A determined chewing machine with a particular fondness for chair legs and expensive footwear. 

Welcome to the terrible chews.

Teething is a completely natural stage of puppyhood, usually occurring between three and six months of age. While it’s a perfectly natural milestone, and a sign that your pup is growing up beautifully, it can also be a challenging time for pets and their people.

For your pup, it means sore, inflamed gums and a constant urge to chew. For you, it may mean frayed patience and frayed, or mysteriously missing, household items.

What Symptoms to Look Out For

As adult teeth push through the gums, puppies often experience soreness, inflammation, and sensitivity. You might notice:

  • Increased chewing (on furniture, shoes, fingers)

  • Drooling

  • Red or slightly swollen gums

  • Mild irritability or restlessness

  • Occasional reluctance to eat hard kibble

The act of chewing helps to relieve pressure in the gums, but without guidance (and a bit of support), your favourite household items may pay the price.

Frozen carrots and sturdy chew toys can help soothe tender gums and minimise collateral damage. However, pet owners can now give their puppies additional gentle support during this transitional stage.

That’s where Teething Relief by Dr Barker Homeopathics comes in.
