Dog Raw Food Diet - an easy transition Dog Raw Food Diet - an easy transition Most dogs have no problem adapting to a dog raw food diet. For young dogs the switch can be done quickly without any digestive problems. For older animals that have eaten commercially prepared diets their whole lives, switching to feeding dogs raw food may require a little more of an adjustment. Are you wondering if you can switch your dog’s diet cold turkey? A suggestion for transitioning to a dog raw food diet is to mix a small amount of the new food with the old food. Increase the amount of new food gradually and chances are that you won’t have any trouble feeding your dog raw pet food. Should your dog always eat the same food? Once you have switched your pet to a dog raw food diet it is best to vary the ingredients. Start with beef or other meat alone until he adjusts, and then add juiced or pureed veggies up to 25%. Vary the meats too. Try these white meats with ground bone: chicken, turkey, pheasant, and rabbit. Red meats can include venison, goat and buffalo among others. Many dogs enjoy fish too. Include all parts of an animal such as organ meat, raw unbleached tripe stomach), and pureed veggies (these simulate stomach contents). Soon your dog will be ready for raw meaty bones.
