Default Help With New Diet? (for pup with Carpal Subluxation)

So I went to the vet and she said that my pup has Carpal Subluxation due to not enough calcium in his diet. We're going to do acupuncture, physical therapy and a new diet+supplements. She suggested that I go to balanceit.com and have them help me out so I can work up a new diet so we can get him all straightened up, as well as supplementing with his same diet (which he's on raw)
While I do trust my vet, I did want to get other opinions and maybe options?
We've had him on a raw diet since he was about 4 months old and I didn't want to switch to kibble because he LOVES the diet (and, frankly, I do too) and doesn't really like kibble anymore (recently offered him some and he sniffed it and walked away, I don't blame him either!)
I'm all for doing a home-cooked if that's best for him AND I get the right recipe (so I'm all for spending the money on a recipe, if it's the right one!). I have read the threads and articles, but I guess I feel a little overwhemled and am in need of some guidance to help my pup out
