Feeding raw is the best thing you can do for your dog's health and it's easier than you might think! We recommend switching your dog directly to raw. There is no need to make a gradual transition like you do when changing kibbles. A raw diet will change and awaken the gut flora and good bacteria in your dog. During the first few days your dog's stool may be somewhat soft, but once the good bacteria and gut flora kick into gear, you will notice smaller firmer stool than on a kibble diet. Raw food has more calories and is more nutritionally dense than grain based kibble or canned food. Your dog will require less of the foods we offer in comparison to the ratio of kibble they are eating. See our "how to" page for more information and weight chart food calculator. Although that is our preferred method, there are also gradual transitions. Ultimately, this depends on what is most comfortable with you and how your dog may react to seeing (not just eating) raw food for the first time.

A good starting point is 2.5% of body weight. If your dog is 40 pounds, needs to maintain weight, and is reasonably active, he’ll need about 2.5% in dog food. That’s 1 pound. You can feed that all at once, or half in the morning and half at night.

​

If your dog is too thin or chases rabbits all day, feed more. If your dog is overweight, older, or less active, feed less. Pregnant and nursing mothers need 5-10% of body weight daily, as do puppies.

​

A dog that is unhealthy and too thin will need more food. However, avoid overfeeding. Try 3% for a more gradual weight gain.

• Keep frozen until ready to thaw for serving.

• Thaw in refrigerator.

• Use within 72 hours, or repackage and refreeze within 24 hours.

This chart gives an estimated amount of daily raw dog food to feed. If you feed twice daily, offer half that amount in morning and half at night.
