adding stuff to the dog's diet, wanted to hear your thoughts

I know it's typical Pet Talk debating, but I'd like to try to keep this particular thread clean and serene (that rhymed!). I'm all for debate and differing opinions, which there doesn't appear to be debate, just the same opinion worded differently. Maybe I'm naive, but I get enough negativity in "real life", I'd like to keep this place pretty and like a big ray of sunshine. Please take the dark clouds to pm, if you don't mind.

All the actual information that has been supplied in this thread has been great, though, so thank you to those who have offered it!

I have a question -


When I get my puppy I am planning on feeding him or her mainly raw. What supplements should I plan on adding to the feed to make sure the puppy is getting everything he needs. I want him to grow up healthy and happy and awsome, so I am worrying a but about the feed.

And how should the diet morph and change as he gets older and larger?

With a puppy on raw, unless the pup is thin or a 'giant breed', there is no reason to add supplments other than vitamins. I use missing link. I can pm you a receipe for your puppy- but I need to know the breed, and the age..
