I use NV in the earliest stages, only because it is already made and processed and doesn't require me chopping bone into tiny fragments with a meat cleaver by hand.

But what Skipper said is true: you can feed the same raw diet I recommend for adults (and if I had a meat grinder that ground bone, I would just do that).

My 9 week old pups right now are eating the same raw diet as my adults, I just chop of the chicken for them; I just don't have to chop the pieces that small anymore.
