Introduce New Food Slowly
Slowly switch cat food over a week to 10 days to give your cat time to adjust.
Have a cat who’s a picky eater?
To transition your cat to a raw diet, first consider their eating preferences and try to match the consistency of your Primal product as closely as possible to your cat’s current diet. Start small and don’t get discouraged. Cats can take time to transition to new food. Remember, even a small amount of raw food can help your cat live a happy, healthy, vibrant life.

taste
Choose a Primal protein that’s similar to your cat’s favorite food or treats. Do they like fish? Try Beef and Salmon. Are they into poultry? Go with Turkey.

temperature
A cold, frozen nugget might not appeal to all cats. Add warm water or Bone Broth to help improve palatability.
