I tried feeding raw and my cat/dog had diarrhea. What do I do if I’m afraid to try it again?
This is understandable. There is no need to rush the process of converting your animal to a fresh food diet. Diarrhea is a means by which the body can eliminate something it finds toxic, and therefore it part of a detoxification process. We suggest that you slow down the conversion to fresh food and, by doing so, you will slow down the rate of detox. Use smaller amounts of fresh raw meat. Leave out the veggies at first. Introduce one thing at a time so you know what is causing the reaction. Don’t be afraid to back up to the previous combination of processed food and raw meat that did not cause a reaction. Maybe change the protein source and see if that slows things down. That’s why it is important to decide before hand how long you will commit to the process (Things to consider). However long transitioning takes, it will be worth your time.
