A gentle and safe guide to help your pet switch to nutrient-rich meals
Switching your pet to a raw or gently cooked diet can dramatically improve their overall health—but only if it’s done correctly. At Paw Revolution, we understand that pets need time to adjust. That’s why we’ve created this step-by-step transition guide.
Why Make the Switch?
Conventional kibble can be highly processed, low in bioavailable nutrients, and often contains synthetic additives. In contrast, raw and gently cooked meals offer:
Fresh, whole food nutrition
Higher protein bioavailability
Fewer food sensitivities
Better weight management
Step-by-Step Transition Timeline
Day 1–3
75% current food + 25% Paw Revolution raw/gently cooked food
Try our Gently Cooked Chicken for cats and dogs, or Raw Duck Recipe for cats and dogs
Day 4–6
50% current food + 50% new food
Monitor for any signs of digestive upset
Day 7–9
25% current food + 75% new food
Introduce new proteins like Raw Beef, Chicken & Ostrich for Dogs, Raw Ostrich for Dogs (Ultra)
Day 10 onwards
100% Paw Revolution meals
Pro Tips
Always thaw raw meat in the fridge
Feed gently cooked meals by leaving them at room temperature or slightly warmer to release an enticing aroma
Add a few drops of Mummy’s Bone Broth to support digestion
Mixing in a spoonful of Turkey, Ostrich, or Rabbit Bone Broth over your pet’s raw or gently cooked meals not only enhances flavor (which helps with picky eaters) but also ensures your pet gets extra hydration and gut support during the transition.
Common Signs of Adjustment
Loose stools or slight lethargy are normal in the first few days
Stay consistent and offer clean water at all times
Your pet will thank you for the change—many pet parents report shinier coats, improved moods, and cleaner teeth within just a few weeks.
Conclusion
Transitioning to a raw or gently cooked diet is a big step toward long-term wellness. With patience and the right guidance, your pet can enjoy a smooth and rewarding journey to better nutrition.
