Whether it's a puppy or an adult dog, we recommend Starter for transitioning to raw food.

The phase of adaptation to raw food. It lasts from a few days (for the vast majority of dogs) to a few weeks.
Daily meal. Adult, moderately active dogs should eat about 2% of their body weight (a meal for a 10kg dog is about 200g) . Puppies, due to the additional energy and nutrients needed for growth and development, eat a much larger amount of food. The dosage for puppies is about 3% of the body weight of the weight that the dog will have in adulthood.
When switching to raw food whether it is a puppy or an adult dog, we do not recommend mixing raw food with with the food that the dog has eaten so far. Industrial food (dehydrated or canned) is digested differently from raw food, so combining it only puts additional strain on the digestive system. In the phase of adaptation to raw food, it is important that the pH of the stomach falls to a favorable level (optimal acidity in a dog's stomach is around 1.5) so that raw meat and bones can be well digested. It is also important that the intestinal microflora adapts to the new diet. One of the most common questions from owners is whether raw food can be mixed with dehydrate. In the adaptation phase, for the first few weeks, we recommend that you feed the dog only raw food. After the adaptation phase, when the pH of the stomach and the intestinal microflora stabilize, it is possible to feed a combination of raw food and dehydrated or canned food, but in separate meals. We know that the idea that a dog is now suddenly eating raw meat instead of brown balls from colorful bags seems a bit strange to you. But we appeal to you as the ones who put food in their bowl to think about what natural food for your dog should look like.
