As your pet adjusts to a raw, biologically appropriate diet, you may notice some temporary changes. These are all normal signs that their body is adapting and detoxifying:

Less Thirst
Raw food contains higher moisture content than dry food, so your pet may drink less water. This is perfectly natural and a sign they’re getting proper hydration through their diet.

Detox Symptoms
You might see a temporary increase in symptoms like itching, ear gunk, or skin flare-ups. This is part of the detox process as your pet’s body eliminates toxins stored from a processed diet.

Food Refusal or Hesitation
Some pets take time to accept raw food due to its different smell, texture, and temperature. Be patient—it’s new to them, but many come around quickly with gentle encouragement.

Digestive Changes
Loose stools or mucous in the stool can occur as your pet's digestive system clears out old waste. This typically resolves on its own as their gut adjusts to clean, natural food.
