The Signs You’re Not Showing Your Dog Enough Affection
Chewing on your shoes is his favorite hobby
When a dog chews on your shoes, it might seem like just an annoying habit—but something is prompting this behavior. “Puppies may chew because of teething and should be supplemented with appropriate chew toys,” advises Dr. Nelson. “Chewing may also be attributable to boredom or anxiety. In that case, your dog may need some extra playtime or TLC.” If anxiety is the root issue, however, playtime alone will not necessarily help. Dr. Nelson suggests speaking with your veterinarian to help combat this issue. You may also want to check out these products specially designed to combat your dog’s anxiety.
