What is a BARF Diet?

BARF dieting - what every dog owner needs to know

BARF dieting is by no means a new concept, however more and more dog owners are now turning to this form of feeding due to the amazing benefits it can have on pet health and wellbeing.

In fact, this type of dieting has proven to offer a natural and healthy solution to a whole range of health problems, including relief from digestive problems, allergies, degenerative diseases and even skin conditions. 

What does BARF dieting mean?

For those of you that aren’t familiar with the term, BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food or Bones and Raw Food. This diet consists of raw whole foods, such as meat, bones, fat, organ meats, fruit and vegetables.

What about shop bought dog food?

Cooked and processed foods are a big no-no when it comes to BARF dieting, as are any foods containing preservatives, colouring agents, additives, grains or other fillers designed to make a dog feel fuller for longer. A lot of supermarket bought pet food contains some of these harmful ingredients, which can cause a whole range of long-term health problems for pets, as opposed to the wonderfully healthy benefits of a barf diet. 

So, what are the benefits of a BARF diet?

  • Relief from irritating skin conditions, particularly those caused by allergies
  • A shiny coat thanks to the range of nutrients and vitamins
  • Healthy teeth and a fresher breath, including minimal tar build-up
  • Leaner, trimmer weight and healthier shape
  • Strengthened immunity thanks to the perfect balance of essential nutrients, vitamins and fatty acids
  • Easier on the tummy and therefore ideal for dogs with digestion problems
  • Quick and easy absorption of nutrients given the natural ingredients
  • Increased mobility and improved energy levels
  • Reduced stool odour, a clear sign of healthy digestion
  • A longer, healthier and happy life
