I would not do it with a puppy or my dog. I would also look at the risks. There are vet associations very much against it.
https://www.avma.org/KB/Policies/Pag...Dog-Diets.aspx. There are some very serious risks and scary stories I have heard so it's very important to make sure you do all your research. I would wait until your pup becomes an adult and then home cook using the balance it supplement. Balanceit.com and petdiets.com are two great sites to check out. With home cooking you kill all the gross germs but your dog is still getting awesome healthy fresh food. You just have to make sure your using a recipe a vet nutritionist has made like on the two sites I suggested and you have to make sure to use the supplement. It's really not hard you can make several weeks worth at one time.
