My puppy is teething and I'm looking for some tips on how to help him. Is it okay to feed it irregularly and use household items like clothespins or rubber bands as chew toys?

It is normal for puppies to have sore gums during teething. Some tips that can help your puppy include:
- Regularly providing chilled teething rings or chew toys, such as those made from frozen yogurt or squash
- Offering treats, like a bit of cheese or peanut butter on a spoon 
- Gently rubbing your puppy's gums with a soft brush 
- Using cold cloths wrappings around ice packs to numb the pain 
 - Giving access to cool water
Irregular feeding is not recommended and it is generally best not to rely heavily on household items as chew toys, since puppies may accidentally swallow them. Better alternatives would be age-appropriate dog toys designed for chewing.

Yes, it is okay to feed your puppy irregularly when it is teething and clothingpins or rubber bands can be used as chew toys. You should also provide other soft and rubbery toys for your pup to help soothe the sore gums. Additionally, cold treats like froze carrots or yogurt might help alleviate pain and discomfort.
