My puppy is biting everything! How to soothe his teething pain?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Is there anything I can give my puppy for teething pain? He has a loose tooth that hasn’t fallen out yet and he’s biting everything, including my ear, and slobbering.

Poor puppy! Soak a wash cloth in cold water and freeze it. Then give it to him, but make sure to watch him closely the whole time. There are also toys you can get from the pet store that can be frozen and then given to him to help with teeth pain. Do NOT give him any human pain medications, many are toxic to puppies and can be fatal if given. Speak to his vet about prescribing him safe pain medications. I hope this helps!
