Quick answer
Transition your cat over 7–10 days by gradually mixing raw food into their current diet. Start with 25% raw, increase every two days, and monitor stool and energy closely.
Why a slow transition matters
Cats have sensitive digestive systems. A sudden switch from dry kibble to raw meat can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or refusal to eat. The gradual method allows gut enzymes and microbiome to adapt.
Raw food is higher in moisture and protein than most dry foods. Your cat may need time to adjust to the different texture and smell. Patience in the first week prevents food aversion.
Choosing the right raw food
A balanced raw diet for cats should include muscle meat, organs, and essential fats. The Multi Bulk Pack Cat from Raw & Fresh contains 15 kg total (5 kg each of chicken, beef, and roo basics). Each variant is 90% meat plus 10% human-grade beef offal (liver, heart, kidneys), providing natural vitamins and minerals.
Rotating proteins helps prevent nutrient gaps and keeps your cat interested. Chicken has 10–15% fat, beef 5–8%, and roo 3–5%, so you can adjust fat intake based on your cat’s energy needs.
7-day transition plan
- Days 1–2: 25% raw, 75% current food: Mix one part raw food with three parts of your cat's usual diet. Serve at room temperature. If your cat leaves the raw portion, try warming it slightly (never microwave). Common mistake: Offering too much raw too fast. Stick to the ratio even if your cat seems eager.
- Days 3–4: 50% raw, 50% current food: Increase to half raw, half old food. Observe stool consistency. Slight loosening is normal; watery stool means slow down and stay at 25% for two more days. Checkpoint: Stool should be formed but softer than usual. If diarrhea persists, revert to previous ratio.
- Days 5–6: 75% raw, 25% current food: Your cat's gut should now tolerate more raw. At this stage, introduce a second protein (e.g., switch from chicken to beef basics) to prevent pickiness. The Multi Bulk Pack makes this easy. Common mistake: Sticking to one protein. Rotate early to avoid food fixation.
- Day 7 onward: 100% raw: If stool and energy are normal, serve only raw. Continue rotating proteins every 2–3 days. Feed 2–3% of your cat's ideal body weight per day, split into two meals. Checkpoint: After one week on full raw, schedule a vet check to ensure nutrient balance.
