Gee what a shame your puppy got to your plants. Hehehe...I bet he had a great time!
As long as the roots were not damaged....they should regrow. They are a pretty resiliant plant. I think come spring you should be seeing some good growth...but it might take 2 or 3 years before it gets to looking like it did....BD days.
Good luck.....and welcome to The Garden Helper.

as long as roots are ok they will come back they will grow slow right now cause of lighting forwinter.I'm nurseing my MIL back to health and rooting cuttings off it also.she tried to drown hers in their moat of a yard..the swamp.I've got all new growth now.maybe by summer you should be back to normal.
I got one of them bad dogs also.She went in garage and nipped on my snap dragons& strawberry plants.left me 2 plants out 6 so the 3 were going to trade off decided i'd keep them now& hung my baskets back up.was only in there on ground cause was cold temps for 2 days.She turned my christmas cactus over also.shes gotton a few others over time too.munched down my clois before got to root any.so was waste to buy that on clearance to root cuttings for the spring.
good luck.I beat my dog with southern livieng.

Question 1 These plants were over 4 feet tall in their glory BD (before dog) How long before they regain the size they once were
Question 2 Do they have a chance? since I repotted them in the middle of winter. They were still flowering before getting destroyed
