My puppy chews everything! How to stop biting & when does teething end?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 2 months and 7 days old | 13 lbs

My 9 week old puppy is teething really bad and constantly chewing on almost everything, especially rugs and clothes. My vet suggested for us to buy him a big rawhide to chew on, but are there any other methods to slow down the biting? When does the teething usually stop?

Yes you can purchase him teething toys from your local pet store. Typically these are toys that you place in the freezer that can help soothe the gums as the teeth erupts. Teething usually stops completely around 6 months of age.
