Transitioning to a Raw Diet is a Unique Journey for Every Dog
Some take to it immediately, while others need time to adjust. For Kimber, the process had its ups and downs, but in the end, it was absolutely worth it. Now, not only has she found proteins she truly enjoys, but she has also stopped itching—something I never expected to resolve just through diet.
The Beginning of Kimber’s Raw Diet
Kimber began her raw feeding journey in May 2024, and from the very first bowl, she loved it. Watching her excitement for fresh, species-appropriate food was so rewarding. However, after a while, things started to change—she became picky, turning her nose up at the proteins I offered.
At first, I thought she might just need variety, so I tried introducing some novel proteins, hoping to spark her interest again. But she wasn’t having it. I went back to beef, and while she would eat occasionally, more often than not, I had to convince her. It became a routine of offering small pieces, using dehydrated beef liver treats as a topper, and even adding homemade bone broth to entice her. Some days it worked, other days it didn’t.
I knew raw feeding was the best choice for Kimber, but I needed to figure out what worked for her.
Trial and Error: Finding What She Loves
After months of experimenting, I decided to switch things up again. This time, I introduced chicken and trio (beef, chicken, and pork)—and suddenly, everything changed!
Kimber went from being hesitant at mealtime to eating enthusiastically without any encouragement from me. It was such a relief to see her enjoying her food again. This experience was the perfect reminder that every dog is an individual, and just like humans have food preferences, dogs do too. Some proteins may not be appealing, while others become instant favorites.
One of the biggest benefits of feeding RawFedK9 is the variety of high-quality proteins available, making it easy to rotate and find what works best for each dog. Their carefully sourced ingredients ensure that my dogs are not only eating what they love, but also what nourishes them best.
Adding Green Tripe to the Mix
To further enhance Kimber’s diet, I recently started adding green tripe as a topper. Many people aren’t familiar with it, but it’s one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can offer your dog.
Benefits of Green Tripe
- Improves skin and coat condition
- Reduces allergy symptoms and skin irritations
- Naturally cleans teeth
- Enhances digestion and nutrient absorption
- Supports a healthy immune system
- Aids in building lean muscle
- Provides essential probiotics and digestive enzymes
Since adding green tripe and finding the right proteins for Kimber, I’ve seen some incredible changes:
Her coat is shinier and healthier
Her body condition is optimal
No more itchy skin!
No stinky breath
Increased energy and overall well-being

Final Thoughts on Kimber’s Raw Journey
Kimber’s journey to raw feeding has been a learning experience, but I wouldn’t change a thing. It has taken time to find the right proteins, but the benefits have been undeniable. Raw feeding isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s about finding what works best for each dog.
