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
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
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
Days 7–9: 75% raw / 25% old food
Most pets do well at this point. Energy and coat usually start visibly improving.
- 4
Day 10+: 100% raw
Pet should be fully on PurePawRaw. Stick with one protein for 2–3 weeks before introducing a second.

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
