Teething is normal, but it can be a rough phase for puppies and families. Common signs include sore gums, increased chewing, drooling, mild irritability, and occasional changes in appetite. Offer puppy-safe chew toys, chilled carrot sticks, a puppy Kong, and gentle gum relief. Avoid using hands as chew toys, hard bones, and punishment for normal chewing behavior.
