has anybody successfully gone from frozen raw back to kibble without GI drama

Rescue poodle came to us on an expensive frozen raw plan that is nuking our budget and freezer space. I don't want to switch recklessly, but I also cannot live like a prepper for a 14 lb dog forever. If you've transitioned off raw, how slow did you go and did your dog act betrayed?

Go slow and keep everything else boring. No extra toppers, no random chews, just one change at a time.

Mine switched fine physically and then spent a week staring at me like I'd canceled Christmas.

Freezer space is an underrated quality of life issue tbh

Yes, over about 10 days, and the betrayal was emotional not digestive.

Ask your vet if there are any reasons not to swap, but lots of dogs transition just fine.
