| what age to start raw diet? Do you start the raw diet when the yorkie is a puppy? or older? i was figuring not when the yorkie is a puppy because the puppy's immune system isn't quite developed yet, so any bacteria from the raw food can potentially harm the yorkie puppy. any thoughts? did i figure wrong? thanks!! |

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Many prey model raw breeders wean from milk straight to meat. My abigail has been on raw and raw meaty bones since nine weeks. She'll be three y/o in December. Doing great.

| My cat's breeder weens her kittens straight to raw with great results, and the same can be done for dogs.
