Answer
7 weeks is too young. Your puppy needs to stay with his littermates and mother for at least eight weeks. Have him vetted immediately to insure health and vaccinations.Make sure he's dewormed.
He will need to eat three times per day at this age, and need to go outside at least every two hours. He is an infant. No food after five pm and no water after nine to help with housetraining. Don't be surprised if at this age he can't go all night without needing to potty. Best food brands are Flint River, Canidae, Wellness. Natural Balance,. Eagle pack, not necessarily in any particular order. Puppy food for now of course.
Make sure your pup gets omega fish oil, flax seed oil, vitamins B complex, C , and biotin supplements. Lots of exersize and plenty of chew toys, the treat stuffed kind are great, change them out often so he doesn't get bored.
welcome to the world of new babies :). Remember, he doesn't speak English and IS only an infant.
Good luck
