The Mistake: Choosing the Wrong Chew Toys for Teething

Teething pups will chew anything—but that doesn’t mean every toy is safe. Picking the wrong kind of toy can lead to frustration, mouth injuries, or worse.

The right toy doesn’t just survive teething—it helps teach better habits while protecting your pup.



Unsafe Toy Choices for Teething Puppies

  • Stuffed plushies (easy to shred and swallow)
  • Cheap rope toys (risk of ingestion and blockages)
  • Hard plastic or bones (risk of cracked baby teeth)
  • Toys with loose parts or eyes


What to Look For Instead

  • Soft but durable materials
  • Stuffing-free construction
  • Non-toxic, puppy-safe fabrics
  • Built for tug, redirection, and teething pressure


Why NeverBite™ Is Ideal for Teething Puppies

  • Reinforced fabric and internal silicone glove for durability
  • No stuffing or loose parts to swallow
  • Soft exterior tough enough for baby teeth

Final Word From the Crew
