Several methods exist for shifting your pet towards their raw food journey, each providing a unique approach for adapting your pet’s dietary habits.
Cold Turkey approach: Switching your dog’s diet from kibble to raw food can be done immediately, provided your dog is in good health with no digestive problems. Keep a close watch on your dog’s weight and digestion during the transition. In the initial one to two weeks, it’s advised to stick to a single protein source. If there are no adverse digestive reactions, you can then introduce another protein source. The recommended rate for introducing new proteins is two per month. Starting with our ComplEat Turkey Dinner is a good option, given its lean composition and easy digestibility.
Slow and steady wins the race: In the event that your canine companion has previously encountered digestive disturbances during a diet switch, our recommendation is to stretch the transition phase over a span of 5 to 10 days. Initiate the process by blending 75% of your dog’s existing diet with 25% of the new, raw food. Gradually adjust the mix to half-and-half, then 75% raw, eventually reaching 100% raw feed. This methodical approach can help mitigate potential digestive discomfort for your pet.
