I feed Primal and don't fast. Fasting these little ones isn't a great idea. If one of my dogs has some diarrhea or is vomiting (usually from eating garbage outside), I will skip a meal and instead provide a few tablespoons of plain yogurt. Plain yogurt has acidophilous and probiotics that help a sick tummy heal itself.

Fasting is meant more for larger breeds and dogs that are being fed raw, meaty bones as a part of their diet, or being fed prey model.

I DO use enzymes. I like ProZyme. Enzymes are helpful in aiding your pet with absorbing the nutrients available in the raw diet. Many dogs (and humans) are unable to absorb nutrients completely as their intestines and gut are affected by environmental toxins, inflammation and more. Enzymes basically act as a stimulant in the digestive environment to the digestive tract to work at full force. I am really oversimplifying them, but I kept my dogs on the enzymes since switching to raw and see the benefits!!
