I'm no pro for sure but I can tell you what we are doing. Just starting out since this past Friday. My little one 1 1/2 years old has been staying with a friend since Feb who had her on crap food so I was eager to get her home and get her eating as healthy as I could. I spent hour after hour on the computer reading everything I could. A lot of the info does seem to come from people with larger dogs and a lot of it in conflicting as to what people say is good or not. I decided in the end that we would go premade to start off. This would get her on the healthiest food possible, get her tummy used to raw and give me more time to research until I felt more comfortable doing it on my own. I am adding to that RMB (raw meaty bones) for her teeth but going at it slowly since it makes me nervous. She loved the premade mix right away and dug in to the few bones I have given like she has always known what to do. When I first gave her a rib she wasn't completely interested so I rubbed a tiny bit of coconut oil on it and gave it before her premade mix and she went right to town.
In my opinion raw is the best thing you can do for your babies just make sure you are comfortable with doing it the healthiest way possible. If you aren't too comfortable yet start with something you know is balanced and work into it slowly.
I can't really give any direction on what premades are good for you as we are in the UK and get different ones here.
Good luck and don't give up!
