I would like to start feeding raw but I don't know how to go about introducing her to it once she's home. The breeder said I get a human heat pad and put it on low under her bed... Whats you thoughts on that?
some people on the forum use raw, or premade raw (Stella's and Chewies) or 5 star kibble like Fromm, Blue Buffalo, or any of the Whole Dog Journal's picks. As for what you need, I recommend a pen (Iris) big enough for a small crate which the puppy will quickly go into sleep in. There are bowls for kibble/food, and water. I usually have a few chew toys for a teething baby. Kong toys are great. You can stuff them with p.butter/kibble and freeze them! Leash and harness. I used ferret harness and leash. Fits just fine. I also used ferret carriers. My little 4 pound chi loves her carrier!

There are a bunch of people on the forum who have switched tiny puppies over to raw. They will be able to help you. There maybe forums on raw feeding. Check it out. the forum panel is on the left top of the screen.
Yes, check out the raw feeding part of the forum. There is info on puppies. I feed my dog raw, but switched him when he was about 8 months, a couple months after I rescued him. You can do a search within the raw feeding forum to find what you need!
I'm still doing research but find it very confusing
