Your puppy is born with natural instincts that are still not yet polluted by commercialism. There is no dog born that was created to eat commercial foods made by man. It is entirely something that WE have done to them to suit our own lifestyle.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your puppy eating raw meat, in fact they were born with the correct enzymes to digest it, whereas they were not born with enzymes to digest commercial processed foods.

If you want to stay with a raw menu, your chow will thank you for it. Just ensure to join a raw feed group so that you learn how to properly feed raw

Please don't mix raw meat with kibble or with other foods.
The reason again, being that you are actually making the food more difficult to digest becuase both types of food require different enzymes to digest, and kibble especially, is coated in a thick layer of rendered fat to make it taste good. The moment this rendered fat comes into contact with humidity, it starts to grow bacteria, so mixing the two together isn't a good idea. It would be like mixing your health food together with junk food.

I used to give my dog Royal Canin, but her fur was kind of dry (or whatever expersion is used to describe a coat that's not as it should be)... but some other chow owners I know are quite happy with it
depends on the dog I suppose
