Le B.A.R.F.

This diet is about dogs, cats and ferrets and is based on the administration of natural products, ideally prey to be closer to the best of the power of a wild carnivore. The bowls are composed of meat, fleshy bones, offal and vegetables raw for most and mashed (for the only dogs, cats and ferrets are strict carnivores).

All meats of this power are giving only flood. Chicken or rabbit, the risks with this type of os are only present when they are cooked. Because once cooked, they lose their flexibility, become sharp and brittle, and can Pierce bodies. (NB: given raw bones should be necessarily fleshy, such as a chicken leg, under risk of bowel obstruction).

(In most vintages) vegetables and fruits are to mix in the form of puree to be assimilated and digested by the dog properly. Integers, they are not digested because they have of cellulase. In its natural state, the wild animal feeds on what is present in the digestive tract of the prey, berries, leaves, etc. in the form of puree. Vitamins made by these mixes are essential if you are unable to supply you with green belly.

But feed my dog with raw meat, doesn't make not aggressive?

NO! "Taste of blood" doesn't exist! Raw meat will not transform your dog into a fierce beast...

These old myths have absolutely no basis. You will find dogs having a prey instinct highly developed to the cakes, as you will also find dogs without any instinct for predation while they are weaned meat and whole prey...

Our dogs did not want to eat our cats, do not throw on a small drop of blood when we cut or gets hurt, and do not have to eat small children like the Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf...

Why I chose this power?

My breeder fed her dogs in this way and nature curious, I am so interested more closely because as many owners, I want the best for my dogs.

So I decided to try this power mode because I could really know what my dogs ate every day and I was not disappointed with the result.

There are many benefits to feed our dogs in this way:

-Reduced and less smelly stools

-Body odor and less strong breath.

-Great taste

-Raw bones maintain good oral health (prevent the formation of tartar leading to periodontal disease); gnaw muscle the jaws and head and it's a fun occupation for the dog.

-Excellent musculature

-Improved quality of life and longevity.

To be honest, all the dogs of my childhood were fed dry food and table scraps and we all agree on that, no never had a direct problem with their power. But... we now know that this regime is far from ideal for them. Yes, they do the trash, yes they eat everything and anything from the moment where the smell is interesting.

But for example, give them a bar of dark chocolate, they will devour it without sparing while it's deadly poison to them...

Most of the cakes are made from cereal, flour of corn and soybeans, beet pulp, among others, while carnivores do not have the enzymes needed to metabolize this kind of components! In addition, very few nuggets contain only meat and some vegetables. Most, even the so-called 'premium' ranges, contain grain in huge quantities, and when it is not rice or corn, merchants advocating "without grain" opt for the potato, she also yet full of starch!

The dog food is the equivalent of the bad food for us!

I'm not one of those anti-croquettes, because if I couldn't provide me with meat, I will go back to dry food, without grain, without apples of lands and other unnecessary ingredients, of course.

That said, he should know that there are supplements to give during the growth of puppies in order to help them grow in the best way that is (green mussel powder, spirulina, rose-hip). There are a whole bunch of add-ins that can be addressed following the dogs problems, osteoarthritis, skin problem, stress etc.

The BARF itself is already a first step for the improvement of this type of problem. When he's done of course!

The BARF requires a minimum of organization, but above all we must inquire before. Because if you don't do things correctly, you go to shortcomings among other problems!

ALL vegetables can not be given high-dose. Take a ride on the BARF-ASSO site where you will find a detailed list of what brings each vegetable and fruit.

I can only advise you to take a ride on the BARF-ASSO site, which I think is a great bible of the beginner and the confirmed in BARF. ESSENTIAL bible before you start! It is very well made and very well explained. You will find all the information you need to start!

Good reading!
