Hi there! Well, for me I just switch Scottie straight away. Meaning today's meal is kibble...tomorrow is full raw smile.gif He took to it very well, and had no problems at all smile.gif It's best to switch cold turkey, because mixing kibbles and raw is not that feasible.

In the beginning of a raw meal, your dog might not be used to it. When Scottie had his first meal, he looked at me like I just gave him some weird thing to eat, but after he chewed on it, he liked it and we never looked back since then smile.gif If your dog hasn't gotten used to eating, you could cut lines into the meat to make it easier for her to bite onto the meat and tear it off smile.gif Some people also use strong smelling food like cheese to make the raw meat more palatable, but I think you should let her try the meat as it is first before doing that. If she really doesn't want to eat, you could try that. smile.gif

It's awesome to know you'll be feeding your puppy wholesome raw meat diet smile.gif

"I do not suggest feeding meat chunks to puppies that are younger than 6 to 8 weeks of age. Each puppy will develop slightly differently, but a puppy should be at least 6 weeks of age before eating meat chunks. When the puppy is younger than this, ground meat should be fed. Ground meat more closely resembles the regurgitated food the mother would provide its puppies. It is at about 6 weeks of age that puppies really begin to be able to eat larger pieces of meat."
