Transitioning to Raw: Tips and Tricks for a Smooth Changeover

Transitioning your pet to a raw food diet can be challenging. Still, with proper planning and patience, it can be done successfully. Here are some tips on how to transition your pet to a raw food diet:

Consult with your vet

Before transitioning your pet to a raw food diet, consult with your vet to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to make the switch. Your vet may also give you some tips on transitioning your pet.

Start slowly

Don't switch your pet's diet overnight. Start by introducing small amounts of raw food into your pet's diet. Gradually increase the amount over a few weeks.

Mix it up

Offer a variety of proteins to your pet, such as chicken, beef, lamb, fish, and organ meats. This will keep your pet interested in the new diet and ensure that they get a balanced diet.

Incorporate bone

Include raw meaty bones in your pet's diet, which provide essential nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus. Be sure to choose bones appropriate for your pet's size and age.

Monitor your pet's progress

Observe your pet's behaviour and stool to ensure they are adjusting well to the new diet. Consult your vet if you notice any problems, such as diarrhoea or vomiting.

Feeding instructions and portion information

When transitioning your pet to a raw food diet, knowing how much to feed them is crucial. The amount will depend on their weight, age, and activity level. Generally, feed your pet 2-3% of their body weight in raw daily food. This can be divided into two meals or more if necessary.

Following these tips and guidelines, you can successfully transition your pet to a raw food diet and ensure their long-term health and well-being.

It's important to note that these are just general guidelines. You should constantly adjust the amount of food based on your pet's needs and preferences.
