Many advocate raw and I'm still sitting on the fence about this because I am scared. Sounds stupid I know but can't help it. I want to remain on some type of kibble for now. What supplements are a must for a growing puppy? I am aware of salmon oil, digestive enzymes, and Nupro which is for joints. Add yogurt to the list too. What else should I be feeding her besides real meat with bones?

I am not someone who says "no table scraps." (Although I never give cooked bones or cooked fat.) If you have leftover unsalted vegetables, leftover meat, boiled egg .... lots of things, but no grain-type foods .... then I believe those items enhance an eternal-shelf-life bag of kibble. Also, I would choose the food from the Leerburg list. If I had to feed commercial food, I would choose THK Thrive or Embark and supplement it with raw meat as the package directs. (It's balanced without meat, but meat makes it a MUCH better diet, IMO.) You can even supplement it with cooked meat, although I don't think that's as good a choice. Best choice with THK, IMO, is RMBs, like maybe chicken backs.

I have only salmon oil readily available. thats ok right? Clarify by spelling every little thing out. Some people can be extreme when drawing their own conclusions.

If it's NOT salmon oil (or anchovy-sardine oil), then you want to buy only mercury-tested molecularly-distilled fish oil. Salmon is a low-mercury fish, and so are the teeny ones that are low on the food chain. P.S. You want WILD fish body oil (not farmed).
