My dog or cat doesn’t like or tolerate the food. What can I do?

When switching to BARF, your pet may show mild detox symptoms. These include diarrhea, constipation, mucus in the stool, vomiting, itching or skin issues. These symptoms can occur immediately or after some time and are not necessarily a cause for concern.

Especially cats often initially reject new food that smells and tastes different. The magic word here is patience. Give your pet the time it needs to get used to the new food. Usually, most cats quickly realize that raw meat meals are very tasty and healthy.

You can find more information about switching to BARF and helpful tips for starting the BARF journey in our BARF Starter Guide for Dogs or in the article Switching cats to BARF.
