When you guys introduce a new brand of raw food, do you mix it with their existing and introduce it slowly, like you would do with kibble?  Or can you pretty much just give them a new brand right away, assuming it's a protein they've had before?  I can switch around canned with no problem,but I'm still new to the raw, and I would assume I should go slowly to be on the safe side?  My kitties had loose stools until I started them on raw (Nature's Variety), but I just got an order of Darwin's, and one throws it up and the other just had a really bad poop again.  I'm guessing I introduced too fast.

You know, each cat is different that way. It's probably best to mix it, and see how it goes. For mine, I treated an introduced protein as an introduced protein, and didn't worry about brand. But caution never hurts. :)
