I second your barfing! I'm now on my third Retriever. My first lived to be 12, second to be 9 1/2. I'm now 5 weeks into my third, and now switched to "BARF" and its working Great! I only regret not knowing/using it for my last pooch.
Lets see now, for breakfast, my pup chowed on three chicken necks... Yum!
Having read the literature ("Give Your Dog a Bone", Dr. Ian Billinghurst), I'm convinced its the greatest thing sinced sliced bread... and so-called "Dog Food" is little more than a way for large food processors to sell their waste and byproducts from making human foods.
Congratulations on caring enough to research good nutrition.
I have two mini dachshunds and they eat the RAW frozen chicken/turkey medallions. I find this diet for them to be convenient and they are in excellent health!! Just thaw & feed - They love it!!
Information about what I feed. They also get a raw chicken thigh a couple of times a week to keep their teeth in good shape.
One thing to remember is NEVER feed cooked bones to a dog as the bones can splinter and puncture the intestines.
For anyone with a strong stomach - read about what is in most commercial dog food:
