My puppy is teething and chewing. Does Benadryl help or what else?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | neutered | 5 months and 3 days old | 28 lbs

I have a make Pembroke who does not have his canines at the moment because his adult teeth are going to come in. I have all kinds of toys for them including teething toys but he’s chewing on non edible things. He also isn’t eating much because of the teething. Does Benadryl help with teething pain or is there something else I can try to do to help relieve his pain? I also have a female teething too but she isn’t as far along as he is.

Benadryl does not help with teething pain. Really, no treatment is needed for teething but these articles may help you. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/tooth-eruptions-when-puppies-get-their-teeth/ ) ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/7-great-toys-for-teething-puppies/ )
