Getting Started With Raw

Affordable Raw Dog Food - How Much do I feed?

We do not suggest mixing kibble with raw, as they colonize at different rates.

(Usually, a good rule of thumb is a ½ lb of food per 20 lbs of dog. If your dog needs to gain weight, add a ¼ lb of raw food per meal. If they need to lose weight, reduce by ¼ lb per meal.)

There are Two Options:

Immediate/Rapid:

Before their first raw meal, fast your dog for 12 to 24 hours. We suggest serving their meals at room temperature for the first few days to give their stomach a chance to adjust. After that, you can feed straight from the fridge.

When transitioning, start with a simple protein like our Pure Chicken, Pure Turkey OR Pure Rabbit for the first week (these proteins are easier to digest) which aids in a quicker & smoother transition.

Your dog may experience some soft stools, upset tummy, or vomiting. Don’t worry – this is called a detox & will subside in a few days. (Keep in mind all dogs are different!)

Gradual:

To wean your Dog or Cat gradually, we suggest the following:

Day 1 & 2 – 75% original food in A.M. & 25% Raw P.M. meal

Day 3 & 4 – 50% original food A.M. & 50% Raw P.M. meal

Day 5 & 6 – 25% original food A.M. & 75% Raw P.M. meal

Day 7 Full raw
