Some of what you are describing for Prince sounds like normal puppy behavior. I do not recommend any over-the-counter people medications unless your regular veterinarian gives you the recommended dosage and frequency that Prince could have. You can try to slow down his eating habits by purchasing a special bowl. You should be able to find some at a local pet store or online. It might be wise to pre-moisten and expand the dry kibble you are feeding with warm water so that it doesn't expand after eaten and cause some GI distress. If Prince develops diarrhea or vomiting, have him examined by your veterinarian to ensure that he hasn't picked up any kind of infection such as a parasite or virus.
