Switching from kibble to raw — how did your dog adjust?
My 3-year-old Golden has been on kibble forever. Thinking of moving to raw but worried about the transition. How long did it take for your dog to adjust? Any digestive issues to watch for?

Slow and steady. Start with 75/25 old:new for a week, then 50/50 for a week, then 25/75, then full raw. Watch for loose stools but that usually settles. Mine adjusted in about 10 days with no real issues.
