STEP-BY-STEP TRANSITION
FOR CATS
FROM KIBBLE TO A RAW DIET
ELIMINATE THE ALL-DAY BUFFET
Cats naturally will tend to gorge rather than graze. Begin the current feeding schedule regularly twice a day. Kittens do not need a transition, as they take to raw feeding naturally and instinctively.
TRANSITION SLOWLY
Known as “imprint” eaters, cats have addictive natures. They become addicted to smell, texture, taste, size, shape, and temperature. Some cats will take to raw food immediately, but most will not. Have patience. Give yourself up to six months to transition.
INTRODUCE A SMALL AMOUNT
Cats’ sense of smell is 14x more powerful than humans. Introducing a new smell to their food routine must be very gradual. Under their kibble, place a tiny dab of room-temperature raw food.
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF RAW
By gradually increasing the size of the raw food under their kibble, they will begin to associate the smell with their normal routine. They will eventually sample it, but the time frame will differ from cat to cat.
SAMPLING LEADS TO EATING
Even if they reject their initial sample the first several times, they’ll eventually start eating their raw food. Once they’re eating, start increasing the volume of raw food and decreasing their kibble until they’re eating 100% raw diet. Remember! Slow and steady wins the race.
