Please do not give King any human pain medications, many are toxic to puppies and can be fatal if given. There are a number of chew toys you can get for him at a pet store, including ones you can freeze that will help numb his gums . You can also soak a washcloth and freeze it, and then give it to him to chew on. If you do this, you must monitor him closely while doing it. I hope this helps!

Nope. He will lose them all in the next several weeks. His adult canines should be the last to erupt. If he seems uncomfortable, you can soak a washcloth then freeze it. Let him chew on it for relief. There are also pet safe teething rings and toys that you can buy in most pet stores or online. Check your local Petco or www.petco.com.
