Dog on raw diet has dry, crumbly poop. Is it the chicken feet?

Question

my dogs are on their 2nd day of raw meat diet (chicken feet) and I give Cholo 1,000mg fish oil every night for his arthritis. what bothers me is his poop, it's dry and crumbly. like this is fresh out of him. my other dog, Nice-Nice is eating the same thing (well, she gets to have the toes), but her poop is firm and normal. Cholo gets the harder and bigger part of the feet as Nice-Nice is having trouble eating the bigger part. they both get enough water so I doubt it's dehydration. thank you! <3. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 24 lbs

Give it a little longer, it's only been 2 days. his gastrointestinal system needs to adjust to this very different diet. too many bones in the raw diet could also be the cause, if you are feeding bones it might be a good idea to limit the amount.
