It takes a few weeks, sometimes less and sometimes longer. Every dog is different. The rice was key to my switch over. I used a lot more rice in the switch than I do today. It is nothing more than a filler but it can help tighten up the turd as well. It takes time for their body to adjust. Mine had spent years taking 20 plus hours to digest the corn and cardboard food I was giving and then the digestive track was finishing up the raw feed in no time. The digestive tract must have been sitting around spinning its wheels with all the free time. The lower intestines were confused by not having to dump a cow pie three or four times a day. So in this somewhat stressful environment the stool gets loose. ( This as medicinal as I can get). Add more rice, cut back on the lard or cooking oil fat in the beginning and use more natural fats like straight chicken fat or beef fat. Walmart sells cow cheek. It is a pretty fatty cut but the dogs do well with it. EWO
