A dog chewing slippers may be natural; they like to exercise their teeth and jaw muscles by biting things, and the soft, tough slipper just meets this need. Also, a dog may chew slippers out of boredom or anxiety, using it to shift attention or relieve nervousness. In addition, it may be trying to attract the owner’s attention.
If the dog feels ignored, it may chew slippers to vent or get notice. Therefore, the owner should give the dog enough stimulation and provide toys to avoid boredom and reduce slipper-chewing.
