Hello! Tikli is 12-13 weeks Bichon. Her teething in the last one week has gone to max level. Additionally she started to scratch humans. I have been giving her frozen carrot but it seems not helping. Any suggestions to ease her down with teething and scratching would be extremely helpful.

Hi Bani. It’s a natural tendency to bite during teething. Apart from frozen carrot, offer her chew toys especially frozen ones, they not only keep a pet occupied but adds a relief. Start giving obedience training, as soon as she starts chewing, use some words like “no” “bad” or any noises, once she is diverted, praise and give her a treat (best would be a chew treat). Some chewing deterrents are also available in market which are safe but just imparts a bitter taste thus encouraging a pet to stop doing so.
