Thanks. I know what’s causing this. But we’ll have to find a tiled floor. Except for the basement all our floors are carpeted or wood. We have bones and tug toys for chewing galore. But he too often ignores these and goes for whatever he can find.
Even in your baths and laundry room? That’s not very practical, lol. Those areas need water-resistant flooring. Heck, cheap sheet vinyl would be better.
I’ve got hardwood in my kitchen and would never, ever do it again. You wouldn’t think that much moisture would get on a kitchen floor, but it does.
A ten month old puppy isn’t teething. He would have completed the teething process a few months ago. It’s normal for puppies and young dogs to continue chewing on things long after teething, but not from pain or anything that frozen washcloths or carrots will help. Like a human baby, the pup is learning and curiously exploring the world...with his mouth. Some will also continue chewing up things because they’re bored, and in need of more physical exercise and mental stimulation. It’s still a behavioral phase that most dogs will outgrow. In the meantime, if you’re unable to take him for more walks or playtime, confinement when he’s unsupervised may be the best short-term alternative. Good luck!
