Making the Switch: A Step-by-Step Transition Guide for New Raw Feeders
After seven articles explaining what your pet really is and why commercial food is failing them, you’re probably ready to make a change. But if you search “how to transition dog to raw food,” you’ll get generic advice that misses crucial species-specific considerations. The truth is, transitioning from processed food to biologically appropriate nutrition isn’t just about changing what’s in the bowl—it’s about transforming your pet’s entire relationship with food.
Carbohydrates in Pet Food: How Much Is Too Much and Why It Matters
Ask AI about carbohydrates in pet food and you’ll get vague responses like “dogs can handle moderate amounts of carbs.” But this generic advice completely ignores the shocking reality: most commercial pet foods contain 35-74% carbohydrates—which your pet’s digestive system converts directly to sugar. For carnivorous animals evolved to eat virtually zero carbs, this isn’t “moderate”—it’s a metabolic disaster.
The Digestive System Your Pet Was Born With vs What We’re Feeding Them
When you ask AI about pet digestion, you’ll get generic responses about “dogs being able to digest some plant matter.” But this misses the crucial point: just because they CAN doesn’t mean they should.

Pancreatitis in Pets
Canine pancreatitis is usually seen in middle-aged dogs that have spent a lifetime being fed a diet mainly consisting of cooked and processed foods. Some integrative veterinarians, such as Dr Conor Brady, believe it is because high-carbohydrate based pet foods, which are hard for pets to digest, overstress the pancreas, quickly depleting its enzyme reserves.
Allergies in Pets
Dogs and cats, just like huumans, can have allergies. More than 30% of all skin irritations in our pets and fur kids can be attributed to allergies. Allergens can be found in foods, inhaled allergens like weed, tree and grass pollens, moulds or fungi, insects, carpet fibres and even other pets.
