We are so excited you want to transition your pet to a raw food diet. There are so many benefits to raw feeding. The first question customers ask is, "how do I make this transition to a new type of food for my pet?" While all the raw foods we provide are ideal for your pet, any sudden changes in food can disrupt your pet's digestive system. A gradual change in foods over 10 days is best because it allows your animal's system time to adjust comfortably without getting upset.

Follow the plan below and your pet should have an easy transition to a raw diet.
Days 1-3
25% raw and 75% current food
Days 4-6
50% raw and 50% current food
Days 7-9
75% raw and 25% current food
Day 10 and after

Note: For dogs - The day before you begin feeding raw meats add some probiotics (acidophilus) and digestive enzymes to the dog's normal food. The Pet Beastro carries both of these in stock.
