My almost 2 year old has always had problems keeping weight on. I don't think he can eat enough to keep up with his activity level.
At one point he was eating 6 cups on Canidae a day. . . still on the thin side.
I switched him to 4 cups a day Solid Gold Millenium, he's still on the thin side
Then, I switched him to EVO Red Meat and after a few months, he decided he doesn't want to eat that anymore
So, I switched him back to Solid Gold Millenium but his appetite is still lacking and you can see his ribs and feel his spine. We train a few days a week, and he is very active at home.
I want to swtich to Raw but still uneasy about the exact ratios, all the supplements, vitamins, probiotics, etc.
I think I have a plan, what if I feed him Columbia River Natural Pet Food premade Raw mixture instead of finding and buying my own RMB's?

I've read that you shouldn't mix kibble with Raw because of the digestion of corn/wheat, but can I mix 1 lb of the Raw chubb with 1 cup of Solid Gold Millennia per meal?
I have also started adding Vibrant Pets to his food.
I'm just overwhelmed. I want to start, but I need to start the easiest way and I found a retailer who sells Columbia River Raw in my area for $1.35 lb
What is the best way to feed him this Raw diet? Just the Chub? Chub with Kibble? Is Vibrant Pets enough supplements or do I need to add more?
Thanks in advance. Making this switch is definitely not easy
