Teething

[MAHKIE]

what are the best chew toys for a teething 4 month old "maki"???any suggestions???

Kongs! I stuff mine w/ yogurt, peanut butter, kibble etc etc and freeze it. The cold should take some edge off. Just remember to reduce the amount you feed him if you do kongs. I've also found playing tug w/ a rope bone helps loosen teeth quickly.

They (petsmart, Petco, etc) also have these canvas bones called Chilly bones. You soak them in water and then freeze them. They can chew and suck on them for a long time. I wouldn't leave them unattended though. They also have some plastic ones, but I didn't like it...first, he chewed off parts and second it didn't seem to be as cold as the canvas ones.

I sometimes put a wet sturdy cloth in the freezer and then would give it to the pups to play with. The cold sooths their sore mouths

I always said I equate my dogs to two year old children, or young children. I ised to give my daughter a cold, wet wash cloth to chew on, as part of her teeting process.

I have a rope toy that I soak in water and put in the freezer.
