I advocate raw feeding, but I still feed a dry food occasionally, more for practicality or for when I've forgotten to get the necessary food out of freezer etc
Try not to worry too much. My only concern with a young dog would be to get the mix of vits/mins right....and for that do some research, I'm certainly no expert....my puppy owners were advised to stick with the puppy food until at least 4 months before introducing raw, and then slowly integrating more raw into the equation....ahem....Em, however, started Madam on raw almost from the get-go, and I have been monitoring and so far so good!!! You can get conditioning tablets online or from some pet stores, and I know when mine were poorly as young pups, and on boiled chicken and rice, I added these to their food as I worried about the balance, and they are healthy hounds, make no mistake!
I have decided to try total raw weaning for the next litter, which is a scary prospect, but one I believe will be so much better for the dogs in the long run.
Feeding raw doesn't have to be complicated, I'm not going to go into reams about what and how much I feed mine, all dogs are different and have different maintenance needs etc.....don't be scared to ask, or pm, and find what works for you and your dog!
