How to transition to raw pet food
If your pet has been on a diet of dry kibble and/or processed wet food, it’s important to transition gradually to raw feeding as a complete balanced meal.* Raw food is digested differently to processed food. Transitioning too quickly to raw feeding can cause stomach upset.
Similarly, if your pet is used to dry kibble or canned food, they may be fussy with raw food at first, so gradually introducing raw food will help their taste buds adjust.
Start with 20% Frontier Pets Raw Freeze-Dried food and 80% of your pet’s ‘usual’ food. Feed 20/80 ratio for 2-4 days, and if there are no major concerns, adjust the ratio to 40/60 for the next 2-4 days.
Increase Frontier Pets by 20% every 2-4 days until you are feeding 100% Frontier Pets food as a complete balanced meal.
This guide only follows general Vet advice for transitioning to raw feeding. However, every pet is unique, and they may transition at a different pace. If you have any concerns, contact us at or consult your Vet or Animal Health Specialist.
*Frontier Pets Freeze-Dried Raw Pet Food can be used as a complete balanced meal for 100% raw feeding, or as a Topper for a raw nutrient boost to their usual meals. See our Feeding Guide for details.
*FEEDING TIP: You can wait for all the water to be absorbed, or you can give your pet the bowl while there is still some water remaining. It makes no difference to the nutritional quality of the meal. And your pet will still get the right hydration as they will usually drink up any delicious excess water whilst eating their dog food or cat food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Opting for organic dog food can benefit both your pet's health and the planet. It reduces exposure to harmful chemicals, offers higher nutritional value, supports sustainable farming practices, and often aligns with better animal welfare standards. While it may come at a higher cost, the long-term health benefits for your dog and the environmental impact make it a worthy investment.
The initial step in managing your dog's weight is determining if they are overweight, which can be done through observing their body condition and consulting with your veterinarian. Signs such as difficulty feeling the ribs, a lack of visible waist, or excessive fat deposits along the abdomen may indicate excess weight.
Following this assessment, collaborate with your vet to develop a personalised weight management plan. This involves selecting high-quality food tailored for weight management, accurately measuring portions, limiting high-calorie treats and table scraps, tracking progress through regular weigh-ins, and ensuring appropriate exercise to maintain muscle mass and overall health. Working closely with your vet ensures a professional assessment and guidance on your dog's weight status and the most effective strategies for achieving a healthy weight.
According to Dr. Claire Middle, author of "Real Food for Dogs and Cats," and considering the natural feeding habits of wolves, it's advisable not to feed your dog on a fixed schedule. Wolves, as ancestors of dogs, don't have set meal times but instead hunt and eat whenever they find food available.
Therefore, you can feed your dog at a random times rather than feeding at specific times. This approach allows your dog to eat when hungry and mirrors their natural instincts more closely.
However, this recommendation primarily applies if you're feeding your dog a raw food diet.
Absolutely, consulting with a veterinarian before changing your dog's diet is highly recommended.
Dr. Kathy Cornack, our in-house veterinarian at Frontier Pets, stresses the importance of offering pets a diverse range of foods over time rather than adhering to a monotonous diet. This approach is founded on the principles of balanced nutrition, ensuring that pets receive a wide spectrum of essential nutrients vital for their health and well-being.
Providing variety in their diet increases the likelihood of pets obtaining all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients they need to thrive. Moreover, a diverse diet can aid in preventing the development of food sensitivities or allergies that may arise from prolonged consumption of the same ingredients.
