Good question. I will look around and find out. I think they will get enough from the grind, and mine will also be eating chicken wings, legs and necks. I also have ground bone supplement. I don't think you really need it as long as the pup is eating the grind and maybe neckbones well? Just watch the poop, if it is dry and crumbly=too much bone, loose=not enough bone. Like I said, I'm not exactly sure. My ole girl was 16 and I was only doing this for less than 2 years. It will be a learning experience with Boomer. If all doesn't seem to be going well (and I will will be watching him carefully) then I will change his diet. I think I have enough to keep him healthy. My only reservation is he is such a small puppy and my poodle was almost 10lbs. So, never fed a puppy, but we will learn together along with this great forum!
