• It is recommended to skip one or two meals for your pet, except for cats, to help their digestive system get rid of the previous diet.
• During the transition week, it is recommended to pour ½ cup of hot water over the medallions. This will help the animal digestive system develop its own natural enzymes and facilitate the transition to a raw diet.
