If there's one thing puppy parents know for certain, it's that puppies love to chew. And let's just say that not everything they gnaw on—or eat for that matter—is supposed to be anywhere near their mouths.
Curious puppies need safe and appropriate chew toys, especially during the teething period when their baby teeth start falling out and their adult teeth start coming in. This critical time in your pup's development can cause some discomfort, which is why many puppies look to the nearest thing to chew on to sooth the pain.
Responsible puppy parents should have an arsenal of teething toys at the ready for when Fido reaches this stage. Otherwise, your feet and furniture will pay the price—and so will your pup's health.
From treat-dispensing KONGs to chicken-flavored chews, here are the best puppy teething toys of 2024.
