We’re thinking about feeding a BARF diet, along with some dry food. Our breeder is feeding Bone And Raw Food (BARF) and dry food to our new puppy to be, and we’re not only thinking of continuing that, but switching our other dogs to it.
The dry food we feed does not contain grain. I’ve never done the vegetarian diet, but it has never made sense to me, either.
Unless you feed raw food with the HAIR ON, I consider it too dangerous.
Anything other than *whole* raw food is a half-assed simulation of “wild dog diets” and little more than a fad.
That is my opinion, FWIW.
My dogs’ health insurance, however, will not cover *any* gastro issues if I were to start feeding any kind of “raw” diet.
The real veterinary statistics prove that it unnecessarily dangerous.
My snakes eat a true “raw” diet.
Whole prey items.
All that comes out is balls of fur and sometimes, a bit of bone, just like you’d find in coyote scat.
