Less Odor & Less Stool VolumeWe know it may be hard to believe but your dog is a carnivore. Raw feeding should include a meat to bone, organ, secreting organ, ratio, to be considered a complete balanced meal. Carbohydrates like grain, corn, wheat, rice and soy, found in a lot of kibble dog foods, are not a nutritional requirement and pose harmful health issues. When on a raw diet your pet can absorb 95% of the nutrients, resulting in smaller stools and less odor.

There are a few ways to switch your dog to a raw diet including: “cold turkey”, and transition. Never hesitate to contact us for one on one help transitioning.

Cold Turkey:means you stop feeding kibble, on day 1 and on day two, you feed raw. You can introduce a fast day in between if you like to help clear the dogs system of kibble, starving will not harm your dog, in nature dogs are used to going a day or two without food after an unsuccessful hunt.

Transition:Start with 80 percent dogs current food, 10 percent raw. Reduce the amount of kibble/ current food each day until the bowl is completely raw. This can take anywhere from 2-15 days. Rejection, stool inconsistencies, and vomiting may occur during this process and is normal. If symptoms persist more than 6 days- seek a holistic vet.

We suggest starting by substituting 25% of their current meal with raw and increasing it by 25% every other day until you’re feeding 100% raw on the seventh day.

Some pets may take shorter or longer to transition so be sure to closely monitor your pet’s reactions and adjust accordingly. Your pet typically needs to be fed 2-3% of their body weight daily if they’re over 20 LBs, or a little more if they’re on the smaller side.

Don't hesitate to contact us. That's what we are here for. Elizabeth can be reached via text or phone at 415.235.3044 or via e-mail @ elizabeth@marinraw.com.

We don't recommend cooking or microwaving. Our foods contain bone content. While raw bone is perfectly safe for your pet to consume, cooked bone is more likely to splinter. Furthermore, cooking only degrades the available nutrients that are in our raw recipes. If you still prefer to warm the food, we'd recommend mixing warm water in instead of cooking directly.
