What To Do When Your Wheaten Puppy is Teething
As your Wheaten puppy starts growing, he or she will begin to show signs of teething. This will occur around 4-5 months of age. This tends to be uncomfortable for the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier puppy and they will often want to chew on things to ease this irritation. There are a few ways you can help ease the pain for your new Wheaten pup. Make chicken soup ice cubes and place them in a bowl or hand them off to your teething puppy. As your Wheaten puppy tries to chew the cubes, he or she will numb the gums and mouth.
Another option our Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breeders recommend is to soak a clean rag and then place it in the freezer; your Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier puppy can use this to chew on to help ease the pain. This period of time can be quite painful for your Wheaten puppy, and sometimes bleeding may occur. It is important to discourage your Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier puppy from chewing on objects in the home. At times the pup will even try to chew on your arms and legs. The teething process causes a great deal of discomfort for your Wheaten puppy, using the frozen compress or the ice cubes can help ease the pain.
