So we decided to buy him the puppy mouse and puppy formula. I'm giving him 1 puppy mouse a day and feeding him milk 2-3 hours. Along with the Karo syrup. I give it to him before his feeding. And we're going to see the vet next week for his vacc along with his teeth check up. While I was at pet smart I was talking with a lady who worked there. She told me puppies usually grow their teeth in when they're 3-4 weeks and mine is 7 weeks and has 2 teeth growing in. She told me to take him to the vet so he can check them and by doing so he can check his age. The lady told me that the person who gave me champ could have lied about his age as his teeth haven't grown as supposed to at this age. So with that advice I'll ask the vet about it when he gets his vaccines. And the lady at petsmart told me to take him to a grooming place to get his nails trimmed as I told her about his nails getting stuck on most things and he often needs help getting out. But I'm skeptical about taking him in a public place with people who handle other dogs that may carry diseases or germs and it could be passed on to champ as he hasn't had his vaccines yet. So I'll wait for all his vaccines to be done for me to take him out.
