Sad RAW and changing diet

I will officially start Abby on the pre-made raw from nature's variety. She is too picky with food and I have tried everything! Canidae, Innova, Merricks and Nature's Best, Royal Canine, etc... She is currently eating home cooked food and she is slowly not wanting to eat again.

I have given her little piece of raw meat as i cut it up for cooking and she freaking gulps it down doesnt even freaking chew, LOL. And on top of that my friend has a Bull Mastiff (85lbs!) and tried feeding her raw (Chicken Drumstick) and her dog just looked the other way and was not interested. Yet Abby was sitting and STARING at the chicken and my friend let her smell and she was licking and trying to rip a piece off! But she didnt eat any because everytime I feed her chicken or turkey she vomit and get diahrrea.

BUT

I would like to know how I should start this. I have read on here that if you are feeding raw you should do it every other day being that mixing dog food and raw is not good. But since I feed home cooked food, would it make a difference?

Secondly, should i do it gradually? Like 1/4 of the raw for 4 days and increase the proportion as it reached 100%?

Please help, I just want her healthy. Plus I am going after work to buy Nature's Variety Medallions!
