Be very careful in preparing a BARF diet for a young growing pup. If you do not get the correct ratios of calcim, phosphorus, etc. you can do more damage to their growth than good. Educate yourself on it to be certain you are providing what your puppy absolutly needs while in a growth age. There is a lot more to it just than giving them raw food and veggies. The foods that Gina posted above are excellent and you can supplement them with raw bones and meats.

And, raw is better than cooked, you don't want or need to be cooking for a dog unless they are on special diets for medical purposes.

Read this post to see what can happen when someone tries to feed a raw diet without knowing exactly what to feed for a puppy:
