Why do dogs chew?
Chewing on objects is a natural behavior for dogs. It’s fun, stress-relieving, helps clean their teeth, and keeps the muscles of their mouth in good shape. Additionally, a dog that chews on various objects is less likely to exhibit unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, digging, and causing various kinds of damage.
Also, depending on the age of each dog, chewing may be due to:
Puppy: pain in the gums from teething.
Adult: boredom or loneliness.
Elderly: pain from dental issues.
