I want to switch my dogs from kibble to THK. How do I start introducing my dogs to THK? Any ideas?
Full Question:
Cindy,Hello. I have been talking with Connie back & forth on the leerburg forums in regards to raw feeding. We are going to be switching from kibble to THK & get started on the raw. What should we introduce with the THK to our dogs? What THK should we purchase? Any ideas you can provide is greatly appreciated. Do you need the weight & ages of my dogs? I have been wanting to go raw for a few years now but I have been very intimidated on getting the raw feeding right for our pups. We also have 4 dogs so I am a bit intimidated on getting the menu correct & making sure I purchase the correct meats & etcetera & the correct amounts. Thank you.

I would not introduce anything else with THK at first. Whenever you make a switch only change one thing at a time, that way you know which ingredient causes an issue (in case you have any problems).
We have a Q & A section about THK. You may find it helpful.
I personally prefer the grain free formulas for my own dogs, Embark and Force. Many of our customers rotate through all the varieties though, for nutritional balance.
Read this article on feeding a raw diet. It’s a work in progress but there is a lot of good information there.
I would also recommend these books, Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats and Raw Dog Food.
You can also go to our Feeding Dogs Page for a list of articles and books that will be helpful to you.
I hope this helps.
