Transition

Making the change to healthy nutrition!

This change in your dogs’ diet can be easy and stress free for both of you. The most important factor to consider is what you are
currently feeding your dog.

•  If your dog is used to eating a variety of home-made foods, both cooked and raw, they are usually more accepting and there is less chance of an upset tummy
•  With processed food fed dogs, the change is much more exaggerated. There are two recommended methods of switching to the  Dogmatters B.A.R.F diet.

Rapid Switch - For most dogs and owners who have converted to the Dogmatters B.A.R.F Diet the rapid switch has proved to be the simplest and most trouble free way.

•  You simply do it by immediately replacing their current meals with Dogmatters B.A.R.F diet!

Before using this method, you need to consider whether your dog is suited to a quick change of diet

•  Young and healthy dogs with a relatively normal gastrointestinal system convert well with this method.
•  Dogs that are older have digestive problems or impaired immune systems may not be suited to the rapid switch.
•  Many older dogs that have eaten processed food all their lives (and occasionally some younger ones) cannot tolerate both raw food and processed mixed in their digestive tract. This can result in vomiting or diarrhea sometimes both. In this case there is no choice but to convert your dog using the rapid switch method.

Slow Switch – Depending on the circumstances this method of switching diets can take from one to four weeks, up to a few months

There are three ways to go about the slow switch.

•  Serve up one meal of the Dogmatters Raw and Natural Diet followed by one meal of the old diet, and slowly reduce servings of the old
   diet.
•  Offer both diets mixed together at the same time, and slowly offer less of the old diet and more Dogmatters Raw and Natural diet.
   It’s important to note that some dogs may develop upset tummies as their digestive systems cannot tolerate two different
   types of food at once.
•  For dogs that eat a home cooked diet you may decide to introduce the new food in a cooked state, and gradually feed it rawer
   with each serving.

The Dogmatters Raw and Natural Diet is suitable for puppies, dogs of all ages and lactating mothers
