HOW TO TRANSITION TO A RAW FOOD DIET

Today we are talking about how to transition to a raw food diet from a kibble diet. There are two main methods: gradual or immediate.
If you are transitioning immediately: fast your dog for 12-24 hours. Then serve half of the suggested portion at room temperature. Serve the remaining 10-20 minutes after.
If you are transitioning gradually: serve 25% of raw with 75% kibble during day 1 and 2. 50% of each for day 3 and 4. 75% raw for day 5 and 6. 100% raw on day 7
I always recommend adding raw goat milk and / or pure pumpkin purée to your dog's raw food (transition or not). This helps digestion tremendously!

[@herkythecavalier]

That fly would not leave us alone!!! So persistent!!!

[@sarahweise9416]

Herky and Millys outfits are just goals as usual Mai 😊

[@herkythecavalier]

Sarah Weise gosh I find so much joy in dressing them too 🤩🤩🤩

[@pookeypuppy2530]

My poor pups went thru so much as I tried to find food that both of them could digest well. Finally found a combination of cooked (organic chicken, salmon or beef) and dried raw. They also love green beans, rice, lettuce, pumpkin, etc. So over diarrhea and vomiting bile! Thanks for sharing your experience with dog food. Herky and Milton are happy healthy girls now! A little McDonald's doesn't hurt too ;)

[@herkythecavalier]

Hahaha you know that dad will always share a bit of McDonald's with the girls! ;) Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@me4getz]

THANK YOU for this video. Such good and accurate information as this is what my research lead to as well. We were feeding raw about 20 years ago, and making our own as it was not as available, but we were met with such judgement and criticism from peers and professionals. Since we travelled so much and I am in a wheelchair so my ability to carry all the extra stuff was limited - we did a lot of research and went back to near BARF (Biologically appropriate raw food) diet. That is when we came to find Cani-Source. You have inspired me to look back into the BARF Diet once again - thank you

[@herkythecavalier]

me4getz I do highly recommend you looking into BARF again :) a lot of options now!

[@nigem6611]

Thanks for a very informative video but I'm afraid the fly stole the show!

[@herkythecavalier]

Hahahaha cannot blame you. That fly was totally the star today

[@edenabraham8917]

Needed this video! My dog just vomited bile this morning and his poop is still soft after 3 weeks on raw. I’ve added goats milk, pumpkin and vital plant firm stool. I’m thinking about transition from raw lamb to chicken maybe even lightly cooked and seeing if that helps.

[@l0n3wolf89]

Great video and great tips! Important to tell people that it might take a few days for the dogs digestivesystem to adjust. Some people are just going back to kibble too Quick :-(

[@fitgenes8530]

Great video! I’m switching my sharpei to raw

[@vickyishappy]

What do you think about doing What my dogs eat in a week? Thanks for the video! Zory has been eating raw for over 3 years now!❤

[@herkythecavalier]

Vicky is Happy amazing!! That’s a great suggestion :) thank you 🙏🏻

[@handyandy6050]

Get the fly! Get the fly! Get the fly! :-)

[@herkythecavalier]

Handy Andy that fly is sooo annoying! Driving us nutso!!

[@judykeyser6082]

Raw kibble really good one

[@Media250AF]

Hum j aurai aimé avoir cette vidéo en français pour être sûre de bien tout comprendre ? 😅 Bonjour Mai, avec mon ckc j'ai tenté le cru 2 fois, et arrêté car paniquée par ses vomissements de bile et son état apathique (il avait l'air d'avoir mal au ventre) 🤔 Il aurait fallu que je persévère donc ? Merci pour tes conseils 😉 et caresses aux filles 🐶🐶

[@silverkiss37]

Omigosh! The fly landed right in the middle of Milton's forehead!! Then Herky REALLY wanted to kill it! 😂 Little fly catchers, how cute. Charlotte Roo does that too. BUT HEY! ABOUT THE RAW DIET: Charlotte has actually just come out of a long bout of GI infection or something like inflammation. She has finally put on weight and her poops are good. But every time I try to put her back on kibble, her poops get loose again. Right now she's on a prescription GI food, but she's almost constipated on it. I want to try raw again, but this whole thing started around the time I was trying to transition her the first time. But she is supposed to be on a low fat diet because she vomits in the mornings plus she is so horribly itchy all the time. 😢 It breaks my heart. I just got some Primal Raw, but I got venison. There was no one there to help me at the freezer, so I had to guess. I should have chosen the rabbit. Anyway, this video did help but I am still a little worried about the transition. Only because it was horrible seeing Charlotte suffer for so long. I just don't know WHAT to do. 😓

[@jamiekarlsson6859]

My dogs are eating. 70 procent raw. And 30 procent dray dog food. But till sommer they will get just raw food. Chicken necks are a favorit.
