Transition Instructions

Switch to a purely RAW diet slowly. Some pets may take to RAW immediately, while others may take longer. Take at least 10 days to 2 weeks to gradually transition your pet’s diet. This gives the digestive system time to adjust to the new food.

Step 1: Choose a protein (stick with the same protein for the first 2 weeks)
Step 2 (Day 1 - 3): Serve 25% RAW mixed with 75% current food
Step 3 (Day 4 - 6): Serve 50% RAW mixed with 50% current food
Step 4 (Day 7 - 9): Serve 75% RAW mixed with 25% current food
Step 5 (Day 10 and after): Serve 100% RAW
Always provide access to clean, fresh water.

easy meat topper

I like to feed raw but for times when I cant this comes in handy. I throw some on meals and know they are getting a healthy mix of raw and added nutrition on kibble or even raw meals. A great topper for any meal. Well liked by dog and cats.
