Most German Shepherds start teething around 3–4 months old, typically lasting until they are 6 months old. During this time, their baby teeth will slowly fall out and be replaced by adult teeth. At 6 months, all 42 of the German Shepherd's permanent teeth should have erupted, and the teething period will be over.

Much like teething babies, puppies often find that chewing cold or frozen items help to relieve teething pain. While there is a range of teething-specific toys available from most pet stores almost any dog toy can be frozen to help provide relief for your pup.
