I hope you don't mind me asking all these in one thread. Just some questions I have on my mind.

Brushing Teeth - How old do you start this and what do I use? I did a forum search, but all the info is so overwhelming to me. Maximus was 11 weeks old yesterday.

Food - Ultimately, I know home cooking is the best. Maximus was weaned from his mommy to Purina Puppy Chow which is what I continue to use. His stools are pretty solid, so it makes for an easy clean up. Looking at another thread, I am thinking that it doesn't get a really good "grade". Any other suggestions? or would you stick with the Puppy Chow? My vet gave me a sample of IAMS, but when I called back to ask about it, the tech said that if he is doing well on the Puppy Chow it was fine, plus, changing his food may create loose stools.

Nutri-Cal - My vet also put him on Nutri-Cal. Four to five times a day for a month, then as needed. Is this just a preventive measure? I feed him 3 times a day, about 1/3 c every meal (although, he doesn't finish it all the time) and I usually have to sit there with him or he gets preoccupied playing. lol

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!
