No, this is not what you are thinking! BARF is a way of feeding your dog. (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food or Bones and Raw Food. In German: Biologisches Artgerechtes Rohes Futter). This means that you feed your dog in the way that wolves eat. Raw meat, bones and some veggies and fruit. The first time I read about it I was shocked and kinda disgusted. But then I started reading more about it. And also about the negative sides of feeding your dog manufactured dog food. And now it really got me thinking... and I might even go for it. There are so much positive side effects of "BARFing" that it seems really worth while.
So for those of you who haven't heard about it yet... please do an online search and read about BARF.

Hi Main
My sister told me all about this diet a few years ago and I read about it too. I do a modified form. I give them vegetable and fruit. They love broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green beans ... not to many things they don't like. I haven't feed them raw meat though. They get fat free Chicken breast jerky (made for dogs, no salt or anything just Chicken breats) And a daily feeding of all natural dry food that is wheat and biproduct free. Basically we offer all types of raw fruit and vegetables and most of them seem to like everything.

This is interesting. When we lived in S. America our dogs ate raw meat, boiled rice, and raw carrots. When we came back here, dog food. Now my mom feeds them veggies as she prepares dinner, they love them--and she puts more veggies in with their food. But they eat as their "main" dish dog food.
I just got my pup and I am reading up on BARF myself and consider to use this as we but am still researching
Our breeder is BARFing too, so the puppy will be used to it when it comes home. Apparently it is very widely spread in Switzerland.
