I don't believe so...mouthing, chewing...are both CALMING things to a dog, if it wasn't comfortable...I'm pretty sure he'd spit it out. You might offer some additional toys, such as a stuffed Kong. You don't have to buy the overpriced "Kong stuffing" either....a bit of plain yogurt, with a good dab of peanut butter stirred into it, some kibble or even some small cut up its of human grade PLAIN beef or turkey Jerky mixed in...some dogs love a bit of applesauce (no sugar type please!) added...FREEZE the Kong over night and present to the dog in the morning before you leave for work...or anytime you want to give him a special treat...it tends to last a long time! If you don't normally crate, or contain him in a non-carpeted area, when you are gone...you can also use a dab of the peanut butter and dry kibble...it will still be enjoyed and take a fair amount of time to work all of it out!
