New To Raw? Ready To Start?
Here's Your Guide To Safely Transition Your Pet
One mistake I see commonly made is transitioning to a raw diet with a mineral deficient meal for weeks at a time. Adult pets do have the ability to regulate vitamins & minerals but, in my opinion, there is no reason to create potential issues by transitioning this way. So, what I recommend is using either a complete commercial raw food or a balanced homemade recipe. My eBook found here- Recipe Packs & eBooks , gives you two recipes and guidance to transition.
Balanced Recipe Transition:
This method involves using a complete & balanced commercial raw food or a complete & balanced homemade recipe. Intended for adult dogs.
- Choose a raw complete & balanced pre-made raw food (something that states it complies with AAFCO to be complete) Or have a complete recipe.
- Begin by replacing about 20% - 25% of your dogs current food with the raw food. Do this for 3-5 days.
- Then move to 50% of the raw food with your dogs current food.
- Then 75% of the raw food with the current food.
- Finally move to all raw food and none of the previous food.
- Move at your dogs pace. If digestive upset is present slow the transition.
*** If at any point during transition your dog experiences stomach upset:
