That depends on if he had a slow transition. If he had a slow transition, then diarrhea is unexpected. If you suddenly changed the food, then yes,m diarrhea can be the result. Because dogs can get diarrhea for many reasons, it's impossible to know if the initial cause was related to the diet or not. Raw food is not the best option for every pet and can contain bacteria that can make pets and people sick as well. I recommend to have Loki examined by the veterinarian and have his stool tested for the most common reasons of diarrhea which are worms, giardia and bacterial over growth. I hope he starts feeling better quickly.
