I am sure that I will be unable to go completely raw with my guy. I am simply not home enough to monitor this. I would, however, like to make at least 2 or three meals a week a raw diet in place of the wet we give him.We have attempted to feed raw before and found he is not attracted to it. How do we attract him to the raw diet?

My boys are both eating raw. They used to love the beef but now they hardly eat it and they prefer rabbit. So maybe you can try some different tastes to see what Arlo likes best?
I feed my boys knibbles and raw. I make sure there's always at least 2 hours between them eating raw begore they get the knibbels. Maybe that can work for Arlo too?

Yea I recommend changing proteins. Ezio and Clementine hate rabbit/venison/lamb, but LOVE beef.
Also, try freeze dried. Mix it with warm water and it'll mimic the smell and consistency of canned food

We tried chicken and beef, she used to like chicken but now she's strictly turkey. What we did was mix it with canned food and slowly started reducing the canned in it until pip was on raw only. We still feed her canned during the day and she does fine. With canned food it won't mess up their stomachs like the kibble does if not fed the right time apart. I hope this helps!
