HDM is getting ready to start vet school and rarely has time anymore, but when she is on, she hands out pearls of wisdom freely.
Keep your dog lean until full grown. Puppy fat is VERY bad. And don’t worry about protein except as many protein sources also bring added calcium. Lean boneless meats are best. You can slice them thin and cook them on low heat for hours or get a dehydrator and make your own jerky. Then cut it into very small pieces, only a pinch will do. I devide mine up into what I consider a serving size and put them in snack size ziplocks and store in the freeze, so all I have to do is grab a ziplock out of the freezer and go.
