    Transition Guide

    A 10-day raw transition for dogs and cats — slow enough to keep stomachs happy, fast enough that you start seeing benefits in week two.

    Print this page (Cmd/Ctrl+P) and tape it to the fridge. Each day's ratio is right there.

    1. 1

      Days 1–3: 25% raw / 75% old food

      Mix one part PurePawRaw with three parts of your pet's previous diet. Watch for normal stool.

    2. 2

      Days 4–6: 50% / 50%

      Move to half-and-half. If stool stays firm, continue. If loose, hold this ratio another day or two.

    3. 3

      Days 7–9: 75% raw / 25% old food

      Most pets do well at this point. Energy and coat usually start visibly improving.

    4. 4

      Day 10+: 100% raw

      Pet should be fully on PurePawRaw. Stick with one protein for 2–3 weeks before introducing a second.

    5. 5

      Watch & adjust

      Track stool, energy, weight weekly. Slow down a stage if you see prolonged soft stool or vomiting; call your vet if symptoms persist.

    Soft-stop signs

    • Loose stool past day 4 → hold the current ratio another day
    • Vomiting twice in 24 hours → stop the new ratio, message us / your vet
    • Refuses food twice → try slightly warming the meal (do not cook)
    • Lethargy > 24 hours → call your vet
