Have you ever had puppies in your home? If so, you’re probably familiar with the chewing phase. It seems that most dogs go through some type of chewing phase in their life. Puppies, like Boxer puppies, tend to explore the world around them by chewing, gnawing and eating things. Older dogs tend to chew out of boredom, loneliness, or to gain attention. In some cases, chewing can signal stress or anxiety. It’s important to talk to your vet about chewing in order to rule out illness. You can help stop your Boxer puppies from excessive chewing by teaching them what they can and cannot chew. For instance, give them a dog chew toy and not an old shoe or sock. They should learn the difference between toys and household items. Ask your veterinarians Spring Hill, TN for recommendations on routine mental and physical exercise to help keep your dog preoccupied and not chewing.
