As your Florida Schnauzer puppy starts growing, he or she will begin to show signs of teething. This will occur around 4-5 months of age. Similar to a baby, teething can be uncomfortable for the Schnauzer puppy and they will often want to chew on things to ease this irritation. There are a few ways you can help ease the pain for your new Schnauzer puppy.

A few good options Florida Schnauzer breeders recommend for teething are purchasing Nylabones or Kong toys at your local pet store and putting them in the freezer before giving to your puppy. For an extra treat you can give your puppy either cold or frozen carrots. Whichever you choose your Schnauzer puppy can use these items to chew on to help ease the pain. This period of time can be quite painful, and sometimes bleeding may occur. It is important to discourage your Schnauzers from chewing on objects in the home. The teething process causes a great deal of discomfort for your Schnauzer puppy, using the frozen toys can help get your puppy through this uncomfortable phase.
