**Can you mix raw food with kibble?** 

Absolutely! The more raw you feed and the longer you feed it, the better benefits you’ll see - but it’s not all or nothing. Research shows that the benefits of a raw diet start at just 20% of your pet’s bowl ([Hemida et al., 2021](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jvim.16211))!
