  • How is the transition from kibble to natural food made?
    The transition must be done gradually. If your pet is not used to a natural diet, its organism can first react strangely to the new diet. Here's the best way to make the transition: From the 1st day to the 4th day: Offer 75% kibble and 25% Fur Real Meal From the 5th day to the 8th day: Offer 50% kibble and 50% Fur Real Meal From the 9th day to the 12th day: Offer 25% kibble and 75% Fur Real Meal Voilá! On the 13th day the transition is complete and you finally got a Fur Real Dog!
  • Can there be any side effects during the transition?
    Due to their lack of familiarity with natural food, some dogs may show some transition-related symptoms. The puppy may have a bad odor, mucus in the stool, secretion in the eyes, dirty ears and intense hair loss. These are not serious symptoms and should not last longer than ten days. If symptoms persist, consult your pet's veterinarian.
  • Can I prepare food for my pet myself?
    Although it is possible, it is not recommended, because there is a great likelihood that you won't be giving your pet a balanced diet that contains all the nutrients it needs.
