Take it out the nite before for the next day. It will be thawed by morning but if you want, you can warm it with a little warm water. I would no longer feed kibble at all. The raw will be fine and I actually started with NV raw and am now feeding prey model raw. I'm sure you know there are a lot of pluses and its the best for your baby, in my opinion. The first time Zoe had it, she scarfed it right down. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
