Transition to Raw.
A simple guide to help you make the switch.
Making the switch.
Gradual Transition
Start by replacing ¼ of their kibble with raw food for at least one week. As long as things are going well, increase by ¼ increments each week until the fourth week. By then, your carnivore will be 100% raw!
Just Go For It.
To do this method, put your adult dog on a brief 24 hour fast. Make sure they have adequate access to water in the interim, and the next day, feed 100% Carnos. Just wait until you see how excited they are when you put down their plate.

Raw Feeding Tips & Tricks.
Remember: every pet is different and it can take time to adjust to new things. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind:
Some pets can be finicky and may need extra enticement. Try lightly searing our ground food to increase palatability. Whole meaty bones should never be cooked! Or, choose a different protein option.
Adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast may entice dogs who enjoy the flavor additives in kibble. You can also try adding one of their favorite toppers.
Set consistent meal time, not only will this make them more excited to eat when it’s time, but it will also assist in weight management. Learn more about meal planning.
Do your best not to cater to a picky (but healthy!) dog. Frequently changing your pet’s diet to satisfy pickiness can actually make the habit stronger. Once they’ve transitioned to raw, give it some time before trying something else. Sometimes a little tough love is necessary!
