I’ve read that dogs/cats can be a bit constipated starting on raw. Is this normal and what can I do?

Some pets may experience a bit of constipation when they start eating a raw diet. This isn't anything to be concerned about.

But why do some pets become constipated?

Pets absorb and use more of the nutrients in fresh ingredients than in processed food, which naturally means their poos are smaller, firmer, and less stinky. Our raw food also contains ground raw bone. This combination can mean some pets will take a little longer to adjust to their new diet.

To help ease the flow in your dog, consider adding a little water, 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar, or small mashed sweet potato or pureed pumpkin to meals. For cats, ensure they’re drinking, engage them in play - exercise can get things moving, and consider adding some fiberious foods like broccoli to meals.

If the constipation continues, please speak to your vet.
