I have often heard of gas for a day or two or three when starting your dog on a raw diet. The system is adjusting to a brand-new experience and throwing off accumulated toxins. Then the flora of the intestines adjusts to the new diet, and it goes away. I would probably add a little plain no-sugar unflavored live-culture natural yogurt to help get the digestion going. Is the poop OK -- no diarrhea, no straining?

It's so different than what his system is used to. As he produces the enzymes necessary for proper digestion, things will go a lot smoother. There are a ton of threads on early stages of raw here if you do a search. Google is even easier sometimes. Just put "leerburg starting raw" in and I'll bet you get a bunch .

She weights about 18 pounds, and I used a tablespoon each morning with her egg. SHe loved it! Hope this helps. God bless you Sharon Empson

And I look for these words on the yogurt: Active Cultures (or Live Cultures). Plain (no sugar) is important.
