would i be able to feed my 13 week year old puppy a raw diet if he only weighs 1.7 lbs at 12 weeks ? i've heard good recommendations about it but at the same time was suggested not to feed it at this time period . how much of the medallion would i be feeding it if i was to start ? any response would be appreciated

Blaze has been eating NV Raw since he was about 16-18 weeks old and we have had NO problems.
You can go onto their website and put in your dogs weight and age and it will calculate it for you.
Good luck

Yes, you can feed it at this age. Aren't you having alot of stool issues with this puppy though? If it were me, I'd probably get a fecal exam for him first.

i switched Tsubi to NV raw as soon as i got her at 13 weeks with no problems. I did it cold turkey too. She loves it and she is almost 6 months now and doing excellent on NV raw. Tons of energy and she is as healthy as she could be.!

I've been feeding Myah NV since she came home too. She is doing wonderful!! She gets on medallion in the Morning, Evening and about 1/2 one before bed. She is now 7 months and weighs 2lbs 14oz.

my puppy did have stool problems and i did go for a fecal exam but my doctor hasn't given me the results yet . he said it has to be examined by the labratory . i figured my baby has loose stools as to the change of food i switched him from non-grain to grain and back to non-grain and grain .. -_-' when it asks for activity level what do i put ? thanks for the many responses .
