Understanding Raw    FAQs    Sample Diet    Weaning Pups on Raw   

BARF DIET EXAMPLE
It is important the dogs eat a variety of food, veggies and fruit.
FEED EVERYTHING RAW, NOT COOKED

FISH: (Preferably fresh, or canned if not available fresh but canned has a lot of salt).
Salmon, mackerel, sardines. I bake the salmon for 3-4 minutes. When traveling I use canned salmon, mackerel, sardines or tuna.

VEGGIES: (Pulverised in Cuisinart)
Swiss chard, spinach, carrots, green beans, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, parsley, zucchini, kale, and a small turnip. Whatever is in season is good and usable.  Squash: We grind acorn and butternut squash in the Cuisinart, with the skin on.

FRUIT: (Chopped or diced fine, depends what each dog prefers)
Apples, tomatoes, mangos, bananas, oranges or whatever is in season

MEAT MIX: 
Consisting of RAW coarsely ground or chopped rump roast, coarsely ground or chopped RAW lamb or chopped RAW chicken or turkey.

BONES: ALL RAW
RAW chicken wings, backs or necks.  Oxtails, Marrow Bones, Turkey Necks
Give Marrow bones two times a week. Great for dental care!

EGGS: Organic
Four mornings a week, raw crushed with their shells. 

ORGAN MEAT:
Give calves or lambs liver 2-3 times a week, 2 tablespoons

COTTAGE CHEESE & YOGURT: (Low Fat) 
Preferably organic and must be plain. (Stoneyfields available at the supermarket)

VITAMINS:
Shaklee's Vitamin E (400IU) , B-Complex, Vita Lea Multi vitamin and Esther C Vitamin C along with a varied combination of Flax oil, Borage oil,  Cod Liver oil, hemp oil and  omega fish oil, and also raw honey, Kelp and Cider vinegar.
