Yes, weight changes can indeed occur when switching from kibble to a raw diet, and each dog's response can vary. Changes in weight could be attributable to several factors:

  1. Digestibility: Raw diets like our Flirty Turkey are typically more digestible than kibble, allowing the cat or dog's system to absorb more nutrients and thus require fewer calories for the same energy.

  2. Lean Muscle Mass: Many cat and dog owners find that their pets develop a leaner muscle mass on a raw diet, which can potentially result in some weight loss.

However, if you're looking to maintain your cat or dog's weight, you could consider increasing daily food intake slightly and monitoring their weight over the next few weeks.
