What to expect when transitioning to Raw
Quick Summary
Transitioning a dog from kibble to raw food begins with a four-day detox phase of feeding pure tripe. During this initial stage, the dog’s stool becomes black and slightly loose. This temporary colour and consistency change occurs because pure tripe is dark and contains no bone content. After four days, the diet transitions to tripe mixes. At this stage, the stool becomes slightly white as bone is introduced. These physical variations are normal signs of dietary adaptation.
