Rowan Sanderson sits down with Dr. Brendan Clarke to discuss a common issue that many pet owners have when transitioning their dog or cat from processed food onto raw: fussiness.

The food industry as a whole has evolved into churning out addictive meals and snacks which are, more often than not, far from whole and healthy. Rowan reminds us that, like children, “animals don’t always know best and they need your guidance.”

Check in with your vet in case your pet is experiencing other complications such as dental problems or organ function issues.

Otherwise, be patient with your pet as you lead them through the weaning process. Remember that, by switching them onto raw, you have just made one of the best decisions possible for your furry friend.
