Switching
To a Raw Diet
It's easier than you might think. Any dog can be switched directly to raw; no need to make a gradual switch like you do with kibble. A fresh raw diet awakens the gut flora and good bacteria in your dog. You may notice a change in stool for the first day or two. Most dogs take to raw right away. If your does not, try warming it a little by microwaving for 10-20 seconds.
