He had never had raw food before. I started out with a couple tablespoons in 
his dry food instead of his cottage cheese.

I did not try this.

That I knew and did keep the new food up for 2 weeks. His stool was loose and 
runny the whole time and he had a couple accidents in the house. That was 
very unusual for him and that is when I decided to hold off at least till I 
have a dog door.

Thanks,
