Can a Doberman puppy be fed only dog food?
Whether a Doberman puppy can be fed only dog food depends on its age. Under 45-60 days, do not feed kibble; without mother's milk, prepare pet goat milk formula and feed every 2-3 hours. Over 45 days, puppy food alone is fine, preferably softened.

My 3-month-old Shiba Inu hid under the sofa, acted aggressively and bit people. I hit it once with a broomstick and struck its teeth. One of the two upper fangs broke halfway and the red interior is visible, while the other is loose and hanging from the gum. I gave amoxicillin and used an oral antibacterial spray for two days. I read online that adult teeth will grow in later and that the baby teeth have no roots. How should I handle this so the puppy can grow normal permanent teeth?
At three months old the puppy is still in the teething stage. After the baby teeth fall out naturally, permanent teeth will grow in, which is a normal replacement process.
