START YOUR RAW FEEDING JOURNEY
Every cat is unique, and their raw feeding plan should be too. Factors like age, weight, and activity level all play a role in how much to feed. Kittens, pregnant, and nursing cats may need up to twice as much as an adult cat. Cats can be more selective eaters than dogs, so transitioning to raw often takes extra patience and time. A gradual approach is the best way to help your cat adjust to new flavors and textures while supporting healthy digestion.
Full Raw Feeding
When transitioning completely to raw, start with 25% raw and 75% current food. Increase the raw portion gradually each day until you reach 100% raw over 7–10 days. This slow transition helps your cat's digestive system adjust comfortably.
Mixed Feeding (Raw + Kibble or Canned)
You can also feed 20% raw alongside your cat’s current diet. Begin with a small amount of raw (such as a spoonful mixed in) and slowly increase the portion at a pace your cat accepts. Some cats adjust quickly, while others may need more time.
Picky Eater or Sensitive Stomach?
Choose a single protein and extend the transition period to 2–3 weeks or longer. This slower approach helps with digestion and allows your cat to get comfortable with the taste, smell, and texture of raw food.
