Chewing tips

Or that should probably be not chewing tips!

We've never had a chewer... until Buzz. So far he has chewed holes (he doesn't go completely to town, just one perfect bite the exact shape of his chompers) in 5 duvet covers (4 of ours, 1 in a hotel...), 1 futon cover (also in the hotel - that was an expensive stay!), 5 pillowcases, 1 dog bed, 2 blankets and now he is starting on our sofa cushions (2 down, 4 to go...).

The chewing seems to happen the most when he is playing with Moose - in the course of playing, if any fabric gets anywhere close to his mouth, he will take a bite out of it. Some of it happens when we are here - some when we are out. We have never crated any of our pack but short of that, is there any way to stop him from doing this? Is it something he will grow out of (he is about 2 right now)? Any tips would be most appreciated!!

How long does it take for him to chew through these items??

Zelda can chew through anything... and she isn't even a year old yet. The only real thing that works for us is bitter apple spray. It is absolutely disgusting to her, so she takes one more bite and then she's done with the item. But that usually only works if you're watching them and can see whenever they're going for something new.

Other than that, I'm sorry, I don't have much other advice.
