Pet care involves the constant search for the best foods and diet that provides complete dog food nutrition. A majority of today’s pet owners and animal breeders choose to feed dogs with commercialized pet foods, which are said to contain all a dog’s nutrition needs. However, raw food diets such as the B.A.R.F. diet is gaining significant following. Pet owners who have tried it testify to its effectiveness in keeping their pets healthy and free from diseases.

Dr. Ian Billinghurst came up with the idea of the B.A.R.F. Philosophy diet. He believes that dogs should be fed the natural foods, that as canines, they ate in the wild. That is the feeding of organic and uncooked meats, fat and offal. The main purpose of the B.A.R.F. diet is to provide the dog an almost identical diet similar to what their ancestors ate. Numerous scientific studies have shown that dogs on the B.A.R.F. diet have developed healthier appetites and live healthier, longer lives.

B.A.R.F. diets are made up of bones, muscle meat, fat dairy products, eggs, grain, fruits and vegetables, organ meats and other food products. According to Dr. Billinghurst, this is the most appropriate method of feeding our dogs. This will give them the same nutritional balance found in the foods eaten by their predecessors.

Those who recommend the B.A.R.F. diet insist that the use of these ingredients will not hurt the dog’s digestive systems, since their bodies are naturally suited for them. The diet is specific in their ratio requirements of chicken bones combined with raw meaty bones from beef, pork, venison, rabbit and turkey. But under no circumstances should any of the bones be cooked.

Backers of B.A.R.F. maintain that commercially prepared dog foods lack enzymes and other dietary components needed by dogs. Processed pet foods may even contain dog food ingredients some dogs can get allergic to. They would much rather feed their dogs home-prepared raw meals, with dog food recipes varying each day, making feeding time all the more interesting for their pets.

Dog food nutrition experts who advocate the B.A.R.F. Diet say that it provides the right dog food ingredients for sound dog health. B.A.R.F. tries to imitate wild animals’ type of dietary system. According to backers, dog food recipes that use this type of diet help prevent the need for veterinary intervention in the course of your dog’s lifetime.
