Get DirectionsMany pet owners are curious about raw feeding but worry it will be complicated or risky. In reality, most dogs and some cats transition smoothly in less than a week.
Begin with a single raw protein like chicken or turkey. This allows your dog’s digestive system to adjust while you monitor how they respond.
Many dogs can switch immediately, but a simple 7-day transition works well for most pets. Our team can recommend the best method for your dog.
Within weeks many owners notice shinier coats, cleaner teeth, smaller stools and improved energy levels.
At Moonlight Natural Pet Store, we help hundreds of Vancouver pet owners successfully transition their dogs to raw food every year. If you're new to raw feeding, our team can guide you step-by-step.

Since 1860, kibble has been marketed for human convenience not pet longevity.
Unlike heat-processed kibble, raw whole-prey diets contain live enzymes and essential amino acids that are destroyed during the extrusion process.
Biologically appropriate food for carnivores consists of muscle meat, organ meat, raw meaty bones and sometimes fresh raw fruits and vegetables. It is supposed to duplicate what animals would eat in the wild.
It makes sense... if you ask yourself what feral cats and dogs would eat without us in the equation, the answer would be killing fresh prey = raw. “Wild cats and dogs eat their whole prey including the liver, intestines, skin and fur so they get all the nutrients they need.” Dr. Sean Delaney, Board certified veterinary nutritionist, former Chair of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition.
Raw whole prey diet is a living food for carnivores, and therefore contains live enzymes, and essential amino acids naturally occurring in the meat. Once cooked, these vital nutrients die (See Dr Pottenger Cat Study ).
When prepared carefully, zero to few supplements are required, making raw food a natural, whole food diet.
Less chemically synthetized supplements = less burden to their bodies. Nature intended a balance between the way nutrients work. It’s best to get nutrients from REAL WHOLE FOOD INGREDIENTS, along with the micronutrients that come with the whole food ingredients. For example, for humans eating an apple with the peel will give you potassium, Vitamin A and triterpenoids (able to destroy cancer cells), which you would not get if you just took a Vitamin A pill.
Cats are obligate carnivores and dogs are also carnivores, although adaptable to carbohydrates.
In fact, anywhere between 1 in 100 to 1 in 500 cats as well as dogs develops diabetes, and this is expected to increase!
Real whole food ingredients mean less burden on the kidneys and liver to process synthetic chemical additives.
Raw meaty bones act as "Nature's Toothbrush." Kibble does not clean teeth any better than peanut brittle cleans yours.
Better dental health! “Kibble is no better for your pet’s teeth than crunchy human food is for our teeth. It would never occur to you to eat a handful of peanut brittle to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. The idea that dry food keeps your pet’s teeth clean is just as silly!” Dr Karen Becker
Shinier and softer coat; healthier skin.Your dog may initially shed a lot of fur while it is going through detoxification.
Smaller stools as well-formulated raw pet food should not contain any unnecessary fillers.
Critics often cite Salmonella or E. Coli. However, University of Wisconsin research shows that healthy pets or even pets on kibble shed bacteria. There have been recalls in kibble and pet treat brands due to salmonella and toxins. With respect to raw pet food, there are potential health risks to humans with immune compromised systems such as small children or the elderly. The real difference is the pet's biology.
