Why is my 11-month doodle suddenly chewing carpets and baseboards?

Question

My 11 month old doodle has started chewing carpets and the plastic base boards in my apartment. She has never done this before even when she was a little one. I’ve started crating her again, and given her new toys but I’m worried somethings wrong. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 11 months and 2 days old | 37 lbs

I would recommend to take Meara into the vet to make sure her teeth are growing in normally and that everything appears normal. If everything checks out normally, then I would suspect behavior. Sometimes dogs will just start playing with different toys for no apparent reason. Definitely keep her crated until this phase has passed. Many dogs ingest items that get stuck in the intestines and need surgery. Switch her toys about once a week as this will help to keep her interest. Most dogs will outgrow this behavior sound 2 years of age but some never do. I hope this helps!
