Not to young. My westie has been eating that diet since she came home from the breeders at 8 weeks.
Yes, you can do it gradually. I did it cold turkey but if I were going to do it gradually, I'd start by replacing one meal per day with the Honest Kitchen. After a week or so, I'd totally ditch the kibble. The second week, I'd start adding raw.
Do you have other pups that are on raw? Are you making the change to home raw or prepared raw (NV medallions or such)?
When I was reading about making the change, I know it was highly recommended to start raw by only introducing chicken and then only adding new meats like every three weeks or so. Organs were added after the first month.
