A lot of YT members, me included, feed Nature's Variety (NV) raw medallions. They are a healthy, balanced diet that a lot of dogs love. You can start feeding them at any age - I started mine on them as young puppies and they did great. The medallions weigh 1 oz each and are about 1" around. I buy mine in 3lb bags, but you can get sample size bags that have only 12 medallions in it. And, you can buy different meats like chicken, lamb, venison, beef, etc.

There are other good brands of pre-made raw, too (Primal, for example). I choose to feed NV because it's the only brand of raw sold locally, and because I like the quality of NV's foods, and because my babies absolutely love it.

I buy my NV raw at a local feed/ag supply store, but there's a pet boutique in town that also carries it. You can order NV raw online but the prices and shipping are outrageous. If you go to the NV website it will give you a list of their retailers and locations. They also have a feeding guide that tells you how much raw to feed based on age, size & activity levels.

I have never fed Wellness but I believe it's a good brand of food. Like any other brand, some dogs are going to do well on it and some aren't. You just have to find one that works for you and your baby.

I hope this answers most of your questions. Good luck!
