Diet For An 8 Month Old

[wings]

(Not sure if this is the right spot... if it should be in nutrition then sorry mods!)

My kelpie pup comes home in a week and a bit (YAY! ) and I plan to continue on the diet she is used to, a twice day feeding of a good dry food. But she's also been used to getting meat offcuts (and apparently some of the best bits as well) from whatever her family was preparing for themselves.

I really want to bring some raw food into her diet, especially some meaty bones but I'm worried about getting 'the right' bits for her.

What sort of bones would be best for an 8 month old kelpie?

What veggies/fruits are easy to start with?

I use lamb shanks for my 8 month old lab. I find these are the best bones for her as other bones are too hard for her teeth and others she spews up chunks of bone.

I think lamb shanks are one of the "safest" options, although as with any bone there is still risk. They are expensive though.

I also used to give lamb flaps which were really good but they are fatty.

Chicken frames are also really good as a roo tails.

Carrots, potato and pumpkin are a favorite here for vegies.

I also give eggs, sardines, salmon and tuna occaisonally.
