Transitioning your Dog to a Raw Food Diet

Some things you will Notice

​Changes in your dog's stool.

Most new raw feeders love the smaller and less smelly stools from a raw fed dog. 

​You will also notice in the first two weeks of feeding  raw a little film of mucus on your dog's stool, this is okay it is a sign that your dog's body is cleansing itself of toxins.

Transitioning Puppies

Typically puppies do not have any digestive issues, therefore the will be able to tolerate a more rapid switch within 1 or 2 days. You should start by adding 1/4 of Happee Dawg to your dogs current diet each meal, gradually increasing the raw food while reducing the kibble until your dog is completely on raw.

​

Transitioning Dogs

Begin by adding 1/6 of Happee Dawg to your dogs current food. After 2 days double the Happee Dawg portion, while reducing the kibble. After 4 days of feeding reduce the kibble to half and add half Happee Dawg. On day 6 you should be able to completely remove kibble and the transition should be complete
