The transition to Urban Wolf or Essex Cottage Farms is instantaneous. First Meal: Do not feed with any other food when starting Urban Wolf or Essex Cottage Farms. Feed on empty stomach & reduce portions slightly for first day.

Yes, occasionally meat does contain bacteria that is harmful to HUMANS. Dogs, being a completely different species from us have naturally developed stomachs & digestive tracts that deal with those bacterium (yes, even modern canines!). Unlike us, healthy dogs do not get sick from the salmonella & ecoli that is occasionally present in raw meat. If your dog is not healthy, don't feed him raw meat, instead lightly cook it instead. Always handle raw meat safely & wash bowls & utensils in hot soapy water. Do not let children handle raw meat.

Raw food (meat) is what a dog (wild or modern) was naturally designed to eat & is what he should be eating. Dogs are NOT human, their digestive tracts are designed by nature to eat and thrive on raw food. We, as a society, decided for convenience sake (& corporate greed), to market 'kibble' as a diet for our dogs. There was absolutely NO inherently sound reason for this 'invention' - corporate greed is the only reason for its inception. Don't let deceptive professional marketing from kibble companies & your human dietary instincts confuse you on how you should be feeding your dog. Feed your canine a real canine diet. If your dog (as most modern canines in the world right now) has been raised on commercial kibble, he will do much better on this raw diet - it's the way his stomach & gastrointestinal tract were designed to eat. Even after 40+ years of feeding our pets commercial kibble, the physiological make-up of the canine gut is still the same as his wild cousins - from Pomeranian to bulldog to the wolf, they are all the same.

We do not recommend adding or mixing with any other foods, this can cause a soft or loose stool, as the diets are meant to be exclusively fed to your dog.

Absolutely! The holistic veterinary community has finally realized that many of the common ailments of modern canines can be prevented by a well balanced raw diet. You can follow this link for a list of committed veterinarians that promote this healthy diet: HOLISTIC VETERINARIANS
