It’s nice that your are feeding your pup none processed food.

I feed my dog raw apple because he can handle it. If your dog can handle raw apple stick to it because cooking the apple does break down some of the nutrients. I normally feed my dog apple as part of his veggie nutrient blend:

In a blender I blend:

raw apple( I rotate with the fruits sometimes I used blueberries, or bananas, or pineapple) it helps cutdown the vinegar taste of the smoothie. Sometimes I skip the fruit and add a dollop of fresh organic honey
alfalfa
fresh tumeric root
organic virgin coconut oli
apple cider vinger with the mother
fresh ginger
spirulina
some green leafy veggie
carrots
organic none synthetic vitamin powder such as Animal Essentials (but since you are still feeding kibble you don’t need this since kibble has the synthetic vitamens and you don’t want to over do it)
calcium supplement (again since you still feed kibble this is not required)

Keep in mind that once you start incorporating fruit which is high in sugar teeth brushing is even more essential for your pup
