Anytime, just nothing too big and always supervised  Smile Maybe start off with a chicken wing, something like that?

Oh and if you feed dry, not too close to another meal as the different digestion times of raw and dry can cause an upset tum.

It's certainly safe as along as it's not too small that he could swallow it and not a weight bearing bone either. Just supervise, but he will definitely enjoy it!

My 2 have been on raw since they were 8 weeks or so Smile Sierra was 7 and a half weeks when I started her on raw and they both had everything they have now. Lamb necks, pork ribs, spine etc Smile

Be careful with marrowbones as they can go straight through a pup  sick
