Mollies babies are now 4 weeks old and I know their teething. When they are out of their crate they want to chew on us and I have a table that has metal drawer pulls on it with it being hard and cold they love it. My question is I'm going to go out and buy these little guys some toys to try and keep them from cutting their teeth on my furniture. What would be some good toys for them. I've never had to buy toys for dogs the age before so I want to make sure that I get something that won't hurt them.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You could get them some of those baby teething rings that have water in them that you put in the refrigerator or freezer to make them cold. I brought Kacee home at 6 weeks and I gave her those. She still chews on them some because she's still teething. I also gave her Nylabones. I found some small "soccer balls" at Petsmart that squeak and enjoyed those, too. They were probably an inch and a half in diameter. Just something fun. I don't know if they'd do much with a ball at 4 weeks. I'd give them a rope to tug on, too. I've seen Kacee just chew on hers many times, even when I first brought her home.

A wonderful idea and it works too.

Nylabones (not the edible ones), Puppy kongs, and soup bones are faves around here.
