Going RAW, gradual change from kibble or go full raw from day 1?

I’ve never transitioned between brands.

You should not use this for her. It maybe harm her health

Raw is the best for dogs. Mine have no plaque whatsoever.

Anyway! I don't think so

She vomited again after she ate dinner last night. I’m not sure what to do now. Do I switch to another brand of frozen raw or put her back on kibble? If I put her back on kibble do I transition or just switch?

I would try a different brand and a different protein.

Thanks for for the suggestion. Due to the fact I have a vacation trip coming up and someone will be watching her for me I’m going to try the Stella and Chewy’s Raw Coated kibble to keep the feeding simple for the person watching her for me. Once I get back from vacation I’m going to try frozen raw again.

For the switch back to a kibble should I do a transition of some kind? Due to her current digestion issues I’m leaning towards a full on switch to the kibble at dinner time tonight.

Yeah, if she’s already having issues, I would probably just switch right over.

Would anyone like to share their experience with the freeze dried raw foods? I was considering switching just for the simplicity, but it looks like the freeze dried costs about twice as much for the same amount of calories. One reason I'm considering it is because I will be going on a two week vacation in January and will be having someone watch my dog for me and I would like to keep it as simple as possible for them.

Also, if switching to a freeze dried formula is there any reason to do a transition?

What about switching raw brands, like switching from Primal to Stella & Chewy's. Should you do a transition?[/QUOTE [MENTION=16884]Dollys Owner[/MENTION]

Freeze dried is EXTREMELY expensive.You can switch to a dehydrated raw for slightly more money than frozen raw, but you won't have to take out a mortgage like you would with freeze dried. You used to use Spot Farms, but I personally got good deals when Petsmart had their 20.00 off of 100.00 spends, and I bought Only Natural Easy Raw from them. I don't think you need to transition, but you can expect 3x the volume of poos from dehydrated raw compared to frozen raw, as you know.

You could also try Canisource Grand Cru dehydrated raw kibble for convenience, it's made in Quebec. I didn't find it as good for allergies as the EasyRaw though.

Canisource Grand Cru......Sounds like a great wine!

Lola seems to be going really well on the Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Kibble (the Lamb). Skin issue seems to be continuing to improve.
