Transitioning to Raw

Starting a dog on a raw diet can appear to be a daunting task for pet owners, but it doesn’t have to. Use the following section as a guide for transitioning from dry/canned food to raw. Before starting your pet of a raw diet, we recommend consulting your veterinarian to ensure your pet is getting the correct amount of vitamins and nutrients it needs.

Days 1-3: 25% Raw Food/ 75% Current Food

Start by giving your pet a little of the raw diet food followed by the balance of their current food 15 minutes later. This allows the pet to try the raw diet food as you gauge their interest in it.

Days 4-7: 60-75% Raw Food/ 25-40% Current Food

If your pet has no issues during the first 3 days, slowly continue to increase the amount of raw food you feed your pet. If your pet’s stool is soft as a result of the switch, introduce the raw food in lower quantities.

Day 8 and Onward: 100% Raw Food

From here on, you can start feeding all raw diet. Depending on what variety you choose, you may continue to supplement your pets diet with vitamin and nutrient rich super-foods or supplements to ensure your pets continued growth and maintenance.
