Advice on how to introduce an 8yr old Staffie to a raw diet

Hi everyone

I have just been approved to adopt my first rescue Staffie and he is coming for home trial in a week

Hi ya, welcome to the forum from Flo & me

Well done on the rescue

If you're switching from a kibble or wet food diet to raw start the transition slowly by introducing some raw mince a little at a time to allow the tummy to adjust otherwise you may well have a messy clean up to do.

I'm not a raw feeder so can't offer in depth advice, however, there is loads of raw feeding threads and one of the best is Banes raw diary. There are other here that feed raw and, I'm sure, will offer great advice

hiya and welcome from me and mia heres a thread you can have a good read of other forum users that have experience with the raw diet https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/f125-staffordshire-bull-terrier-raw-food-diets

Thank you both

Hi from me & Katy, well done on rescuing a staffie you will receive unconditional love & snuggles

Hey welcome to the forum from me and Rio

I think there's 2 ways to go about it, one of which is what Ian said, introducing little bits slowly

The 2nd is what I did with mine (and it's individual to the dog, won't work for everyone) we had a complete clean cut from kibble and went all raw straight away, we use complete meals, meaning the amount of meat/offal and bone are already there. We stuck to very bland meat- chicken and turkey to start off with and added in beef, lamb, duck over time.

I'm still fairly new to Raw feeding myself, only been doing it a couple of months- there are a lot of experienced raw feeders on here who will have plenty of advice for you
