Feeding your pet the b.a.r.f. diet is the healthiest choice As pet owners, we naturally want the best for our animals. The b.a.r.f diet is arguably the healthiest option for animals. B.a.r.f stands for biologically appropriate raw foods. The idea of a raw food diet for pets is not a new idea; in fact cats and dogs are genetically designed to digest raw meat. In fact, dogs and cats have an easier time digesting raw foods than the cooked, over processed foods that pet owners have been conditioned to feed them. The b.a.r.f diet encourages the use of a variety of raw meats and bones. When feeding beef, the beef should be grass fed, and not feed lot fed because the fat produced by the grass fed beef is higher in essential fatty acids. Feed lot beef also tends to be irradiated, destroying the probiotics or healthy bacteria and the naturally occurring enzymes that are found in grass fed beef. Both probiotics and enzymes are extremely beneficial to the health of our companion animals. The beef should also be human quality in order to ensure the quality of the product. Historically, cats and dogs are meat eaters, not grain eaters. When you feed your pets bones and raw food that they were designed to ingest, the health benefits are incredible. Switch your pet to a b.a.r.f diet and begin noticing changes in your animal’s disposition, appearance and general health within just a few short days.
