Hey Rachelle,
Nothing hard and fast on supplements from my side while feeding raw. I lean towards adding EFA's unless you've got great grass fed meat sources available. Transfer Factor Complete (canine and feline) both have vitamins and minerals in addition to the base of amazing immune support, yes. I'd probably also add alfalfa leaf and kelp (50:50 mix), on again and off again. Main thing is, as you say, just start. Change it up, at 3-4 week intervals, and balance over time. Lot of room for creativity, but I like to think of percentages of what prey might look like. I think it'd be close to 70% meat/bone, 20% organs, and 10% macerated veggies.
I get my underwear in a bunch when I read about a breeder thinking they've still got control over your pup for 2 years! At what point do you own this animal? I wrote about this here, and urge you to kick that agreement under the bus.
And: we're glad you've joined us! Keep us posted on how you do with the shifts of diet and paradigm!
