well I have cats and on of them is name bombom and he i fat and I did not want my other cats to get fat so what you do (it will work with dogs too) is to mix with yoUr old food use and add ur diet one and then soon or later they will get use to it but be sure to use different flavor would you like to eat some thing every day..... always have bowl fill like 1/4 every day if it lower add more and maybe get vitams for them and always have fresh water filter not tab it not good for them at all

Idk.the best thing i can suggest is to add it gradually to her

diet.
IMHO right away. Fast your dog for 24hrs, give only water and honey. Then introduce the BARF. I make my own, but will not push the recipe.

Please be aware the dog may be "sickish" for up to 3 weeks.

The body is cleansing itself.

For supplements : essential Omega acids /human grade/ and in my case UDOs Dog Essentials.

Feeding raw is the best thing one can do for their dogs.

Best of Luck.

One of my pups took to the raw diet "cold turkey", the other, a picky eater I had to ease into it - a little kibble for breakfast, a little raw in the p.m. Some people mix the kibble with the raw, I chose not to do that. Google www.rawdogranch.com, it's a very comprehensive guide re the raw diet and there's lots of other good info. on line. I add salmon oil and a daily blend supplement. A rule of thumb for feeding is 2-3% of the dogs adult weight, you adjust depending on the dogs activity level, mine are very active, get a lot of exercise, and I do around 4%. It is important that you have an understanding of the nutritional needs of dogs. Good luck, if you have any questions come back and ask.
