hi dani12. when i got my pup, i intended to switch him from kibble to a raw diet when he was 10 months old, so i had a lot of new foods to introduce to him. i began early (3 months or so) by introducing one new food a week in small amounts to prevent tummy upset. first thing i gave him was raw carrot run through the food processor, followed by organic whole milk yogurt. at about four months i introduced him to raw bones and meat. i beleive that the addition of real whole foods is a benefit to any dogs diet, but like the others said, take it sllloowwwww.
