For anxiety, I like Composure chews and Adaptil diffusers. If these don't help, there are prescription medications that you can discuss with your veterinarian. Making sure Lewis is getting plenty of exercise is also very important. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-calming-aids/comfort-zone-diffuser-with-dap-for-dogs

Dog behavior can be a little mysterious sometimes, but chewing on a blanket can be dangerous, especially if small pieces are ingested. These can cause a foreign body obstruction, which can be life threatening. You can try getting Kyro a cushion, that may be less tempting to lift and chew, for his crate. He may also feel anxious being confined in the crate, if it is too small. You can try fencing off a part of your home for him with baby gates. I hope this helps and that all is well!

It seems she might need a small kennel. There should only be enough room for her to stand up and turn a complete circle. Any other room then they tend to soil in one area and lay in another so they do not get dirty. Puppies tend to get distracted easily and may find playing and exploring outside more important than going to the bathroom. I would start taking her out on leash and staying close by you reward her with treats as she goes in the correct place.

Unfortunately, this is one of these situations that really stinks. Yes, of course you want Moose to be comfortable, but you also don't want him to be in surgery the next day having blankets removed from his intestines! If it were my dog, I simply wouldn't risk it. I would maybe try to put something very thin in there, like a bed sheet, and see if he still tries to destroy that. One other option you can try is to spray whatever you put in there with bitter apple spray (https://www.chewy.com/grannicks-bitter-apple-original-dog/dp/46006?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Grannick%27s%20Bitter%20Apple&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKEAjw85DIBRCy2aT0hPmS1jkSJAC1m9Uvv8OwVDmskFB6pFbR3iGy9Bna8uuuI2KuZPeahNIfOxoCtIzw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) Dog's usually don't like how it tastes so they won't put it in their mouth. Some dog don't like how it smell either unfortunately, so it may not be the most enjoyable experience for Moose. The safest best would be to leave the crate empty. My dogs regularly sleep on the cold, hard floor in my house voluntarily and seem quite comfortable. I wouldn't fret over this issue too much.

That's cool that the recovery suit will work for her then. The cost of crates vary by location, so I would check costs in pet stores, as well as checking online sites that resell things (like Ebay if you have that in Bosnia & Herzegovina). You may be able to buy one second hand. Yes, she can eat her regular food :-)
