Raw Feeding in Allard Edmonton: Getting Started with Beef Bison
Jul 26, 2025
Getting started with raw feeding in Allard, Edmonton is simpler than you think. Here is a beginner-friendly guide to starting with the Beef Bison Blend Tube from Hound and Bone.
If you live in Allard and you have been curious about raw feeding but not sure where to begin, this post is for you. Getting started is simpler than most people expect, and the Beef Bison Blend Tube from Hound and Bone is one of the most straightforward entry points available for dog owners in southwest Edmonton.
The most common advice for new raw feeders is to begin with a single protein or a simple blend and stick with it for several weeks before adding variety. This gives your dog's digestive system time to adjust to raw food, and it gives you a clear baseline for understanding how your dog responds.
The Beef Bison Blend is a good starting point for most healthy adult dogs. It is a complete formula with a short ingredient list: beef and bison muscle meat, organs, ground bone, and tripe. Nothing is added that does not serve a clear nutritional purpose.
The switch from kibble to raw is best done gradually over two to four weeks. In week one, replace about 25 percent of your dog's current food with raw. Increase to 50 percent in week two, 75 percent in week three, and 100 percent raw by week four. Adjust the pace based on how your dog responds along the way.
Our week-by-week raw dog food transition timeline is a detailed guide through every stage, and our post on common raw dog food feeding mistakes covers the pitfalls that catch new raw feeders off guard.
Some loose stools during the transition are normal and typically resolve within a week or two as your dog's system adjusts. Smaller, firmer stools than on kibble are a common observation once your dog is fully settled on raw. If you have any concerns during the transition, a quick call to your veterinarian is always the right move.
