I got my baby about a month ago and have been doing research for the past couple of weeks on this diet and only have a couple more questions before I am ready to take the plung

. First, Saphira is a mere 1.10 lbs at 14 weeks and so I don't see how feeding meat and bone at this point in time will be possible. I was thinking to put together a prey model meal and grinding it for her until she is at her adult size (approx. 3 lbs) when she will be more capable of handling the meat and bone...

. Also, she is a growing puppy and i want her to grow as healthy as possible without any deficiencies so I was thinking of adding a whole food supplement to her diet as well as coconut oil for her skin and coat...

. So I guess the

are just asking
1. if you've had a puppy this small and what you did or what you think about the plan to grind until she gets bigger
2. what you think about the supplements and if you can recomend anything when it comes to that???
As for how much to feed...it's 2% of their adult weight right???
Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
