Introducing Totally Raw Natural Dog Food to your Pet

There are two methods for switching your dog to Totally Raw. The switch can be "Rapid" or "Slow", which choice depends on several factors, such as:
  • Is your dog already used to a variety of foods?
  • Is your dog young and healthy?
Ideally, as a pet owner you want your dog eating the healthiest foods. A sudden change in diet for dogs fed kibble only may result in gastrointestinal distress. This may produce temporary symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea. Even so, most dogs fed a kibble only diet will “rapid switch” with no associated problems. You will have to assess your dog to determine which is best for him or her. If you choose the rapid switch method, we recommend limiting the variety for the first two weeks. This allows time for your pet to transition to a natural diet gradually.

If you choose the “slow switch” method, mix a small amount of Totally Raw Ground Dinner e.g., Ground Chicken Dinner, in with your dog’s regular food. Over time, increase the amount of Totally Raw Ground and decrease the processed food. This may take days or weeks depending on how easily your dog adapts to a natural diet. As your pet becomes accustomed to Totally Raw Ground, increase the variety to include a wider selection of Ground Dinners. The transition from Totally Ground Dinners to Totally Raw whole food line is a simple process- simply replace the Totally Raw Ground Dinners with our Totally Raw Whole Food line.
