Raw Dog Food (100% Natural BARF Diet)

What is a Raw Food Diet for Dogs?

The raw food movement for dogs began in the 1980s, led by Australian veterinarian Dr. Ian Billinghurst. His research linked pet health to diet, leading him to create the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF) diet, which mimics the natural diet of wild ancestors and includes raw meat, bones, offal, and fruits and vegetables. 

Another popular option is the Raw Meat-Based Diet (RMBD), or the Prey-Model, which focuses solely on animal-based ingredients like raw organs, muscles, and bones, excluding grains, fruits, and vegetables.

What's in a Complete and Balanced Raw Dog Food?

A complete and balanced raw diet is more than just a slab of steak or a bone. It’s all about providing your dog with the nutrients they need to thrive. A proper raw diet usually consists of:

• Muscle Meat: This is your main ingredient, providing your dog with high-quality protein.
• Organs: Think liver, kidney, or heart. Organs are nutrient powerhouses, packed with essential vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
• Bones: Raw, edible bones (never cooked!) supply calcium and other minerals while keeping those pearly whites in top shape.
• Vegetables & Fruits: Some dog-friendly veggies (like sweet potatoes or leafy greens) and fruits (think berries!) can boost antioxidants, fibre, and vitamins.
• Supplements: Fish oil, kelp, or even eggshells may be added to ensure your dog gets a well-rounded diet.
  

The Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF) method recommends using 70% muscle meat, 10% raw meaty bones, 10% organs (with at least 5% being liver), 10% fruits, vegetables, or dairy (such as kefir, goat's milk, or other suitable dairy sources, but avoid cow's milk products)

Balance is key! Your dog's diet should have the right ratio of meat, bone, and organs to avoid deficiencies or overloading on any one nutrient.

The Benefits of a Raw Food Diet for Dogs

• Shinier Coats and Healthier Skin: A raw diet is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (think fish or flaxseed), which can help give your dog a glossy coat and reduce skin issues like dryness or itching.
• Stronger Teeth and Fresher Breath: Those raw meaty bones do wonders for keeping plaque away and maintaining healthy gums. Say goodbye to bad breath!
• Better Digestion and Smaller Poops: Yep, you read that right! Raw-fed dogs often digest food more efficiently, leading to less waste—so smaller, firmer poops. (Less clean up for you!)
• Increased Energy Levels: Many dog owners report seeing their pups perk up with increased stamina and energy once they make the switch.
• Weight Management: Since raw food is more natural and less processed, it can help maintain a healthy weight, especially for breeds prone to packing on the pounds.
