The BOM BOM raw and sous vide diets are made with simple, nutrient-rich, easy-to-digest ingredients thanks to their high bioavailability — most pets take to this natural diet beautifully. Every pet's gut is a little different, so we've built our transition guidance to work with that, not against it. Gradual introduction gives the gut microbiome time to adjust to a new food medium, which is why sudden, large diet changes are more likely to cause a bit of stomach upset than a paced one. Since every pet is different, we're always happy to assess your pet's situation individually — just reach out any time.
1. Slow Transition Method
Best for sensitive tummies, or pets who've been on dry kibble or high-carb/fibre diets for a while.
Method 1: Feed one meal as BOM BOM, the other as your pet's current food (at its normal recommended amount). Watch how your pet does for about a week, then move all meals over to BOM BOM once you're comfortable.
Method 2: Mix BOM BOM into the same bowl as their current food — start at 25% BOM BOM / 75% current food, hold for 3–5 days, then step up to 50:50, then 75:25, fully transitioning over 2–4 weeks.
2. Direct Transition Method
If your pet has no digestive or health concerns, feel free to switch straight over. Stools may be a touch inconsistent in the first few days — that's completely normal and usually settles on its own as their gut adjusts. If it doesn't settle, just message BB Support and we'll help figure out if a slower approach would suit better.
Planning to keep feeding kibble, freeze-dried, treats, or canned food alongside BOM BOM long-term, rather than switching over completely? See: Can I feed kibble / freeze dried / dehydrated treats / canned food and BOM BOM meals?
