My pup's diet currently consists of Royal Canin and milk replacer. I would like to switch her to a Raw diet and if you have any suggestions on what would be easiest on her?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,I am so glad I found your site as I purchased a German Shepherd puppy and will be bringing her home December 15th. Her diet currently consists of Royal Canin and milk replacer. I would like to switch her to a Raw diet and if you have any suggestions on what would be easiest on her? I have a lot of venison available, could I use that at first or should I buy some ground beef? I purchased Natural Nutrition for Dogs and Cats and Raw Dog Food (just waiting for them to arrive) but would like your advice on changing gradually or cold turkey? Should I incorporate Honest Kitchen?
Thank you for your time!

Cindy's Answer:
We have a Q&A on raw feeding, and the books will help you a lot.
I would probably do a gradual switch with a young puppy, since there is already a lot of stress involved with leaving the litter, going to a new home, etc.
I'd probably wait to incorporate Honest Kitchen until your pup is eating a simple ingredient raw diet successfully.
