Tip
Every dog moves at their own pace. If your dog needs a little longer, stick with the current mix for a few extra days before adding more Raw Coated.
Is this normal?
New food, new poops. Softer or looser stools can happen during the transition. If they continue, stay at the current stage for a few extra days before moving forward.

Tips for a picky eater

  • Add warm water or dog-friendly bone broth
  • Serve with a topper you know they love
  • Mix it thoroughly with their current food
  • Serve after a walk or playtime when they’re hungry
