Scout is a constant chewer. We give her lots of allowable chew toys but she still seems to find a way to chew things she now supposed to. Bitter apple helps but as others have stated you pretty much can't soak down the house.
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!!
