Dogs chew on things for various reasons, including teething, boredom, anxiety, and exploration. Chewing helps puppies relieve the discomfort of teething by massaging their gums and aiding in the shedding of baby teeth. It also helps adult dogs keep their teeth clean and jaws strong. Boredom or lack of physical and mental stimulation can lead dogs to chew on objects to entertain themselves. Anxiety or stress can cause dogs to seek comfort through chewing. Additionally, dogs explore the world through their mouths, so chewing is a way for them to learn about their environment. Providing appropriate chew toys, regular exercise, and mental stimulation can help redirect this behavior.
