Vomiting is the body's way of violently getting rid of something toxic, really. So, a dog really should *not* be vomiting from a diet change. That said, if for some reason - they have an extremely sensitive stomach (which in itself is NOT diet related) - they could vomit from changes - but that actually has nothing to do w/ the actual FOOD.


I agree with this. Although I'm very new studying about raw, from what I've read the amounts of bacteria on any given piece of raw could be significantly different. Raw even kept in the refrigerator would have much more bacteria each day. A dog new to this diet may have not yet formed enough of the "good bacteria" or enzymes to process this larger amount of bad bacteria.
