Start with a fast for your dog - do not feed their evening meal (fasting 8 to 12 hours), then introduce Pets Go Raw food in the morning (use our Feeding Guide for the proper amount).
Start with a poultry protein such as Chicken or Turkey. These proteins are often easier to digest, which will result in a smoother transition. Use proteins for 3-4 days.
After three to four days of Chicken or Turkey, introduce red meats like Pork and Beef for three days.
From here, continue to provide a variety of proteins on rotation daily or weekly!
NOTE: A cold meal early in the transitioning stage may cause some dogs to vomit. We recommend bringing it close to room temperature by allowing the food to sit out for 20-25 minutes or add a little warm water. This also enhances the raw food's smell and flavor. After four days, you'll be able to feed straight from the refrigerator without upsetting the stomach.
We believe it is really on a case-by-case basis. The majority of animals should be able to just switch over while others may require a transition period. You know your pet, and you may choose the transition method that suits them the best.
Start with 75% original diet, 25% raw diet for two days. Be sure to keep feeding separate as both products are consumed and processed at different rates and should never be mixed.
Over the course of a few days, gradually decrease the amount of dry food and increase the amount of raw food until your pet's diet consists of 100% raw food.
NOTE: If you notice loose stools early in the process, cut back on the amount of raw food being fed, and increase it at a slower rate.
Pets that are fed raw food and bones can be experience reduced issues with their teeth, skin, ears, eyes, bowels, kidneys, hearts, pancreas, liver, and immune systems. Raw-fed animals may also have a reduced chance of developing both infectious and degenerative diseases. They may also experience less cancer and greater health into advanced age. Overall, a simple change in diet may lead to a happy, healthy pet.
