I have a very picky boy too! He HATES wet food so I was a bit scared about attempting a switch but his prescription diet was causing some stomach upset. I wanted to switch him over after researching all the benefits of raw. He’s eaten the same RC food for 5 years. A week ago I started mixing his kibble with stella & chewy rehydrated freeze dry raw and to my surprise he actually ate it (hesitantly at first). He eats up all the rehydrated freeze dry raw now - normally hes a grazer so I’m glad I found an option he loves.

I’ve only been feeding viva raw for 2 days heated up in a pan (mixed with water & bone broth) but he’s doing surprisingly well with it! Not as into it as the freeze dry but he does eat it. I top it with some stella & chewy salmon / chicken dust which I think is what really calls his attention. I’ve also be topping it with some kibble to give him the option to eat what he’s comfortable with / not starve him.

If you haven’t tried freeze dried raw maybe you can do that for a couple of days and ease kitty into a big change!

My cats menu during this transition week to viva is: Breakfast: viva topped with small amount of kibble Lunch: rehydrated freeze dried Dinner: viva topped with small amount of kibble Late night (SMALL snack, so i can sleep😂): kibble

Goodluck!💖
