How to Start Feeding Raw to Your Pet

Have you ever wondered how to make your furry friend healthier and happier? Feeding raw might be the answer! It’s easier than you think, and your pet will love it. Let’s dive into how you can get started.

Why Feed Raw?

A raw diet is natural and super healthy for your pet. It mirrors what their ancestors ate in the wild, giving them:

Shiny coats and healthier skin
Cleaner teeth and fresher breath
Better digestion and smaller, less smelly poop
More energy for playtime
Fewer allergies and itchy spots

How to Get Started

Step 1: Do Your Homework

Learn about raw feeding basics. Look up trusted sources, ask your vet, and join raw feeding groups online for tips and advice.

Step 2: Start Small and Balanced

Raw meals should include the right mix of ingredients to keep your pet healthy. Here’s a simple formula:

70% Muscle Meat: Chicken, beef, or turkey
10% Bone: Ground-up chicken bones work well
10% Organs: Liver is essential, but add others too
10% Veggies (Optional): Carrots or spinach for added nutrients

Step 3: Go Slow

Switching to raw is a big change. Mix a little raw food with their usual meals and increase the raw portion each day for about a week.

Step 4: Watch and Adjust

Keep an eye on your pet. Are they active and happy? Is their poop normal? If something seems off, tweak their meals or talk to your vet.

Quick Tip: Always handle raw food safely. Wash your hands and clean up any spills to keep your kitchen germ-free.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping Nutrients: Don’t forget organs or bones—they’re essential!
Switching Too Fast: Gradual change is easier on your pet’s tummy.
Ignoring Vet Advice: Regular check-ups ensure your pet stays healthy.
