In this short YouTube dialogue, a caregiver of an 8‑month‑old rescued sighthound asks whether a prior street‑kibble diet could cause irreversible damage that a raw diet cannot repair. The responding expert reassures that many negative effects are reversible, emphasizing that early dietary change, liver’s natural regenerative capacity, and appropriate supplements can mitigate past damage. Overweight and kibble‑related issues are expected to improve substantially with a well‑formulated raw diet, and fear of permanent harm should not delay the transition.

Questions this video answers

The expert says many negative effects can be reversed; liver can regenerate, supplements can help, and switching to a good raw diet should correct most issues caused by previous overweight and kibble feeding.

Chapters

I'm fostering a sighthound. She was 8 months old when she came to us back in April. Up until she came to us, she lived on the streets in the UK and was fed a mixture of street leftovers and kibble. She's now on fed on raw. Will there be any long-term damage that a raw diet cannot fix?
So I would say, look, there is a lot that you can reverse. I think there's always a risk But, you know, let's not over-egg it. I think the sooner you can change something, never let the fear that it won't change something prevent you from making that change. Using some supplements to overcome some of those things, I would definitely say liver has that capability to regenerate. But look, generally in the scheme of things, if your dog's just been overweight, it's been abused with kibble, you know, changing to a good raw food diet should reverse the majority of that and get you back on the right tracks.
