Who This Is For
This guide is for owners thinking about switching their dog from kibble or cooked food to raw. It's the protocol we use with our own dogs and with the closed beta cohort, written in plain language and reviewed against current Australian standards for hygiene and food safety.
It's particularly useful if you've already tried elimination trials and prescription kibble, if you're starting a puppy from scratch, or if you're moving from lightly cooked or supermarket brands and want a structured way to do it without upsetting your dog's stomach.
