We feed our dogs BARF. Bones and raw food. They have sparkling clean teeth, no bad breath, their poop is small and breaks down quickly, they have no interest in chewing anything except bones.

Could you give me some advice on bones? I was always told never to give a dog bones, but someone told me its alright if they are raw. Is that all kinds of bones?

I also feed my two dogs the BARF diet after my German Shepard developed severe food allergies to everything in commercial dog food. They were on a high quality dried food but he still became very ill with allergies.

The BARF diet saved his life and he is no longer on any medications. My eight your old lab has the teeth of a 2 year old dog.

Greenies are a waste of money.

Our dogs are on that diet too. You are right about the breath and teeth. Also the scat is very fine and crumbles cause of the calcium in the diet. My dogs love the diet.
And it is less expensive than commerical foods.

Where do you find real bones? I used to give them to my dogs but they've disappeared from the grocery store. Also does anyone have suggestions for really sweetening a dog's breath? My Maggie Mae has the worst breath of any dog I've ever known. I will never have her teeth cleaned again as it almost killed her last time. I've been giving all three dogs store bought denta bones and it does help the Yorkies but Maggie Mae is another matter.
