As anyone who’s ever cared for a puppy will know, they put so many things in their mouth. Dogs use their mouths to help them explore and make sense of the world around them, and puppies even more so.

After all, the world can be a confusing place when you’re a puppy, and picking things up with their mouth – often called mouthing – helps them understand. But, as humans, we often don’t know whether we should stop our puppies or simply let them be, particularly if it’s something potentially dangerous like a rock. Life would certainly be a lot easier if our pups would only go for the best long lasting dog chews instead!
