How do I introduce my pet to a raw diet?

We recommend starting with a simple protein. We prefer our Chicken mix because it is easily digestable. Should your dog have a chicken allergy, we’d then recommend our Butcher Blend. Continue feeding the same protein for a week or two to acclimate your dog's digestive system to the Raw food. You can then introduce other proteins.
