What is a Bones and Raw Food Diet?
Bones and raw food, b.a.r.f. were fed to dogs for generations before commercially prepared diets were available. Back in the 1950s, machines were designed to create extruded products and processed foods became the fashion for feeding busy families, spilling over into feeding the family pet. Processed foods have proven to be detrimental to human’s health and commercially prepared pet foods have taken their toll on dog and cat health too by causing degenerative disease similar to those affecting humans. Now people are looking for better dogfood nutrition.
There are many all natural dog food products available today. An all natural diet is grain free and raw, as nature intended. This dog raw food diet has many titles: bones and raw food, b.a.r.f. or biologically appropriate raw food (BARF or B.A.R.F.), or a raw prey diet. This diet includes all of the components of a prey type animal. The dog raw food diet contains the following: juiced or pureed vegetables that are similar to stomach contents, raw unbleached tripe (stomach) which contains enzymes and healthy bacteria like acidophilus, organ meat such as liver and heart, muscle meat and lots of bones. Add some essential fatty acids in the form of natural fish oil and you have a great all natural dog food diet for your companion animal!
Feeding bones and raw food to dogs gives amazing results! Not only do they love their food, but they have healthy gums and beautiful white teeth that never have to be cleaned by the vet. Their coats and bodies stay clean and odor free and they produce less stool because the bones and raw food diet contains no fillers. Dogs eating a raw food diet will have healthier immune systems and will have fewer or no fleas. These benefits are just some of the ones that your dog will experience when fed all natural dog food products.
