FAQs
What makes a protein "novel" and why does it matter for my dog?
A novel protein is simply one your dog has never eaten before, so their body has no reason to react to it. It's the cleanest way to hit reset and figure out what's actually causing the problem.
How do I know which single protein to start with?
Think about every food, treat, and topper your dog has eaten and skip those proteins for now. Whatever they haven't had before, start there. Lamb and duck work for most dogs. Kangaroo and beaver are best for severe allergies.
Can I mix two proteins together or rotate week by week?
During the elimination phase, stick to one protein all the way through. If you mix and your dog reacts, you still won't know which one caused it.
My dog has been on kibble their whole life. Is switching to raw safe?
Yes, and the transition is simpler than it sounds. Just mix a small amount of raw into your dog's current food and gradually increase it over 7 to 10 days. Download our free Transition Guide for a day-by-day plan.
