šŸŒ“A short fast that helps reset the body

When we decide to take the step towards a natural BARF diet, one of the most frequent questions is: How to start?
One of the first recommended steps in the transition is the pre-fast.

šŸŒ± What does the pre-fast consist of?

Fasting involves leaving your pet without food for 12 to 24 hours, allowing its digestive system to completely empty of food.

This prepares the body to better assimilate the new diet, based on fresh and natural ingredients.

šŸ’” Benefits of pre-fasting

  • Digestive reset: Helps empty the stomach and intestines of food residue.
  • Natural detoxification: Helps cleanse the body before introducing fresh food.
  • Better adaptation: Makes the transition to BARF more gradual and less burdensome for the digestive system.

āš ļø When NOT to fast

It is important to note that this step is not recommended for:

  • Growing puppies šŸ¶
  • Sick animals šŸ¾
  • Elderly dogs or cats šŸ±

In these cases, a smooth transition to a soft diet, without the need for fasting, is ideal.

āœ…Nutritional recommendations

Pre-fasting is a useful tool for many pets, but it should always be adapted to each individual case.
If you have any questions, it is best to consult an animal nutrition specialist before making the change.
