How do I transition my cat onto raw food for the first time?

If your cat is currently on kibble or canned food, please note that the transition process can be longer and sometimes difficult. Initial rejection will be common but don't be discouraged by this. To increase the acceptance rate of the new diet, we recommend a slow transition as it will allow your cat to slowly be familiar with the new scent and taste and also give their digestive system enough time to get used to the new diet.

​

​​Here's an example of what a gradual transition looks like:

​Days 1-3, serve 35% of new food mixed with 65% old food

Days 4-6, serve 70% of new food mixed with 30% of the old food

Days 7-8, serve 100% of new food

​

Please note that this serves as a guide and that your cat's transitioning experience may be shorter or longer. Feel free to adjust the feeding proportions slightly as you observe your cat during the first few days.

​

​Looser stools and/or mild diarrhoea lasting not more than 2 days may happen depending on how rapidly the dietary transition is made. A longer, more gradual transition period is highly recommended for cats with more sensitive stomachs.
