My puppy is 16 weeks old this Saturday, and I have decided to switch him to raw food now before he gets too used to dry food. I have a couple of questions regarding this.

My understanding is to start with one food source for a couple of weeks. The easiest one to start with is chicken with bone, ie backs, legs, thighs, etc. I had thought some sort of organ meats or something are needed, but it sounds like I can leave those out for the first week or two. Does that sound correct?

I also read that he needs 2% to 3% of his bodyweight a day in food. Puppies grow quickly and have different requirements from adults. I am not sure if 2% to 3% is for adults only and puppies need a higher percentage. If that number should be higher, what should it be?

Thanks.
