Transitioning

Recommended Schedule for Transitioning your Dog to a Raw Prey Diet:

Feed the raw food first and then follow it with the remaining quantity of your dog’s current food at least 15-20 minutes later
  • Days 1-3: 25% raw along with 75% current diet
  • Days 4-6: 50% raw along with 50% current diet
  • Days 7-9: 75% raw along with 25% current diet
  • Days 7-9: 75% raw along with 25% current diet
​When your pet transitions to raw food, you may see darker, drier, and smaller stools; increased energy; healthier coat; and overall better health. After some time, your pet may eat less as raw food has a high nutrient density.
​We also offer a kibble gravy made from our 100% beef patty. Use it over your dog’s kibble during transition, or daily over kibble.

SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS:

Store unopened, frozen patties for up to 6 months in the freezer. Defrosted patties should be used within 4 days, storing them in the refrigerator until use.
Portion Size: our patties are 13 oz. and are the recommended portion for a 40 lb. adult dog for 1 day
  • 10 lb. dog: ¼ patty for the whole day, recommended to split into 2 servings.
  • 20 lb. dog: ½ patty for the whole day, recommended to split into 2 servings.
  • 30 lb. dog: ¾ patty for the whole day, recommended to split into 2 servings.
  • 40 lb. dog: 1 patty for the whole day, recommended to split into 2 servings.
  • 50 lb. dog: 1¼ patty for the whole day, recommended to split into 2 servings.
  • 60 lb. dog: 1½ patty for the whole day, recommended to split into 2 servings.
Please note these are guidelines, and individual requirements can vary by up to +/-50% based on your pet’s activity level, metabolism, age, general health and other factors. Pregnant and nursing females, feed up to three times the adult maintenance amount. Puppies, feed two times the adult maintenance amount. If you find your pet gaining too much weight, simply cut back by at least 1/8 of the portion you are serving them.
