Basic Barf Advise

[BULLDOUG 199]

Hello all, recently i have noticed an influx of dog men asking for Barf advise, IMO it needs a certain amount of research, nothing major but a poor Barf diet can be very costly in the long run, YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN!!

 

Heres a helpfull calculator and some good reading for anyone interested.

Your not wrong there chap.

 

So many people seem to think throwing the dog a chicken carcass is all that's required.

 

I think if there was more info about highlighting how easy it CAN be then more would feed this way.

At a quick look and correct me if im wrong, no way a dog can thrive "healthily" on meat and bones alone , us as humans might not be dogs but we also comprise of meat and bone with organs just like dogs. We couldn't survive on meat alone, as im very much sure dogs also cannot. There are far too many other nutrients void in this diet to sustain a healthy and active body.

I agree and substitute with fruit veg, seaweed, eggs, fish,ACV, nettles etc, a dog in the wild would eat seasonal fruit as well the stomache contents of its kill.

 

The links i have posted are basic pointers for the starter as IMHO people are damaging there dogs with piss poor diets, some of the THL posts of late are shocking.

 

Im happy to write out a full diet sheet for anyone wanting it, when i have time i will update this thread and hopefully help others.

 

A K9 stomache is much different to a human stomache.
