Common Challenges with Raw Feeding: How to Overcome Them

Switching your dog to a raw diet can come with its set of challenges. Here’s how to address common issues and ensure a smooth transition:

Common Challenges (Don't Be Alarmed!) 

1. Gradual Introduction:

Introducing raw food gradually can help prevent digestive upset. If your dog experiences issues, slow down the transition and consult your vet. A phased approach can ease your pet into their new diet and minimize digestive disturbances.

2. Picky Eaters:

Some dogs might be hesitant to try raw food at first. If your pet is a picky eater, experiment with different Canino raw recipes to find one they prefer. Adding a bit of warm water can enhance the aroma and make the food more enticing.

3. Changes in Stool:

It’s normal for stool consistency to change when transitioning to raw food. As long as the diet is balanced, these changes should be temporary. If you have concerns about your dog’s stool, consult with our raw feeding experts for personalized advice.

4. Water Intake:

If your dog drinks less water on a raw food diet, don’t worry. Raw food is naturally high in moisture, which helps keep your dog hydrated. Monitor their water intake, but rest assured that raw food contributes significantly to their overall hydration.

By understanding and addressing these common challenges, you can ensure a successful transition to raw feeding. For additional support or specific concerns, feel free to reach out to our team of raw feeding experts.
