Freeze-dried raw is rich and nutrient-dense, so it’s best to ease into it, especially if your pet’s been eating kibble or canned food:
- Days 1–2: Mix 10% freeze-dried raw with 90% of their current food. Rehydrate the freeze-dried portion with warm water to make it easier to digest.
- Days 3–4: Increase to 25% freeze-dried, 75% current food.
- Days 5–6: Go for a 50/50 split.
- Days 7–8: Shift to 75% freeze-dried, 25% current food.
- Days 9–10: Fully transition to 100% freeze-dried raw.
If your pet has a particularly sensitive stomach, feel free to stretch this plan a little further. There’s no rush—just happy, healthy mealtimes ahead.
Additional Information
For growing puppies and expecting or nursing dogs, you’ll want to dish out up to twice the usual amount, because they’ve got big appetites for all that growing and nurturing. Every dog’s different, so feel free to adjust based on their needs.
Serve these soft nibs as a full, balanced meal or sprinkle them on top of your dog’s regular food for a boost of raw goodness. Keep the bag in a cool, dark spot and aim to use it within 30 days of opening for the freshest taste and texture.
