Switching to raw

Straight switch — most healthy adult dogs

1. Fast 12 – 24 hours
2. Start on raw
3. Serve at room temperature the first few days
4. Then feed from the fridge as normal

Gradual — sensitive dogs, or a nervous owner

Days 1–2	Days 3–4	Days 5–6	Day 7
25% raw	50% raw	75% raw	100% raw

Senior dogs — go much slower, 2 – 4 weeks

1. Prepare the gut first — probiotics, digestive enzymes, a fibre source like pumpkin
2. One lean protein only — Pure Chicken or Pure Turkey. No multiple proteins, nothing rich or fatty early
3. Transition over 2 – 4 weeks, stepping 25% → 50% → 75% → 100%
4. Fasting is optional and NOT for underweight, frail or medically sensitive dogs
5. Monitor stool, energy, appetite, weight. Pause or step back at any sign of discomfort

Cats — slowest of all

Never starve a cat into eating. Risk of hepatic lipidosis. Go slower, use toppers, or speak to a vet.

⚠ Always

• Start with a simple protein — Pure Chicken or Pure Turkey
• Never start a first-time raw dog on rabbit or duck
• Don't mix kibble and raw in the same bowl
