    Vital Essentials® Freeze-Dried Raw Beef Entree Dog Food Mini Nibs are formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult).

    Feeding Guide:

    Every dog is unique, and their raw feeding plan should be too. Factors like age, weight, and activity level all play a role in how much to feed. Puppies, pregnant, and nursing dogs may need up to twice as much as an adult dog. Dogs can be more selective eaters than cats, so transitioning to raw often takes extra patience and time. A gradual approach is the best way to help your dog adjust to new flavors and textures while supporting healthy digestion.

    Full Raw Feeding

    When transitioning completely to raw, start with 25% raw and 75% current food. Increase the raw portion gradually each day until you reach 100% raw over 7–10 days. This slow transition helps your dog's digestive system adjust comfortably.

    Mixed Feeding (Raw + Kibble or Canned)

    You can also feed raw alongside your dog’s current diet. Begin with a small amount of raw (such as a spoonful mixed in) and slowly increase the portion at a pace your dog accepts. Some dogs adjust quickly, while others may need more time.
