Is there really such a thing as the BARF Diet for dogs? Well, yes. I find the acronym distasteful (pun intended); though, it has a ring to it, so I will "tastelessly" use it here. Some pet owners refer to BARF as Bones and Raw Food; however, it is most widely known as Biologically Appropriate Raw Food.

BARF supporters are those that hold to the idea that dogs as well as cats should be taken care of according to their evolutionary preferences. In other words, a BARF Diet regimin consists of whole grains, high protein meats, organ meats, bone, fats, vegetables, as well as fruits--foods that the forebears of canines and felines would most likely have found normally in the wild.

What's so controversial about that, you ask? Why is the BARF Diet getting such a crowd of yay and nay sayers? To point of fact, the BARF Diet is spitting in the fan of Huge Dog Food Manufacturers. No point in naming names really, because that doesn't help anyone. Simply put, the Big Dogs got a corner on the dog (and cat) food market.

Before 1930 all dogs and cats were being graced with a BARF Diet because they were fed right off the farm's dining room table. Processed animal food had not become commonplace, as it is now. Funny how the BARF Diet controversy closely aligns with the epiphany that McD's fries are not health food. If fries and shakes are harmful to people, then it is obvious that highly processed food is unhealthy for our pets, too.

Even though my supposition in this article appears to be accurate, the jury continues to be out. There are very few studies validating the advantages of the BARF Diet and numerous scientific studies by pet food suppliers showing the benefits of processed kibble. To be realistic, pet food producers are usually hard at work trying to make innovations to big bag dog foods. For example, it truly is much easier these days to get Omega-3 oils added or grain as well as protein based pet foods on pet store shelves. On the other hand, the BARF Diet has been plagued occasionally with discoveries of E. Coli as well as Salmonella. Like I said, the jury is still out.

From my point of view, if your pet suffers from allergies, stinky waste, itchy skin irritation, ear infections or vomiting, it makes perfect sense to get to a change in diet quickly if you are serving up highly processed food. I am advocating natural, chemical free, free range, hypoallergenic dog food and cat food with Omega-3s, whole grains, digestive enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Whether that is a BARF Diet or organically grown hypoallergenic processed dog food, be sure to get the best ingredients possible. Try the BARF Diet and see for yourself, or at least do some research into more natural products. Read the labels and choose the best fit for your dog. Likely, your dog's health will improve.
