PUPS Blog Series - The Myths of Raw Food!

Have you heard about BARF! 

What is BARF? 

BARF is B - Biological, A -Appropriate, R - Raw, F - Food

Raw feeding is the practice of feeding domestic dogs, cats and other carnivores a diet primarily of uncooked meat, edible bones, and organs. Of course with some doses of vegetables.

I buy Chicken Wings, Chicken Backs, Chicken Thighs, Beef cubes, Lambs, Fishes, Porks, inlets etc ... these are common and can be purchased easily.

In any diet, we need to ensure there are proteins, carbs, fats, bones(calcium) and fiber. Raw food has all ingredients except vegs. Therefore you will need to provide vegs to ensure your dog has fiber in his diet.

The Myths about eating RAW will bring out the wildest of the domesticated dogs and cats are not the truth, as there's no scientific data to support this myth. I rather categorized all about command, control, behavioural aspect to training. And if you start training early, you have a good chance to have all these training issues under control.

So what're the benefits of BARF diet?

1. Food is easily absorbed by the body, thus your dog's poos are lesser, cleaner and no foul smell, (I use one standard plastic bag to pick up 3 dog's poo)

2. Raw food is without preservative, no soy and free from chemicals,

3. Cleaner Teeth and fresh breath, (Bones provided are good tools to clean teeth & ensure healthy gums)

4. Healthier Skin & coat, (Raw food normalize your body, thus ensure healthier skin and coat)

5. Improve degenerative diseases, (Raw clean up & stabilize your dog's body, thus improve mobility, mind, and spirit)

6. Optimal lean and healthy weight, 

7. Improve Immune Systems (Raw triggers natural stage of the dog's body, thus improve immune system)

I challenge you, if you don't believe in the wonders of RAW, please try and you will never regret it.

In my personal experience, actually, it's my wife that wanted to give it try. And we never regret it and have reaped many benefits from RAW DIETS.

Seeing your dog healthy, happy & enjoy good quality life are the objectives why I consider BARF!

Have fun & stay positive!
