The Raw Vs Commercial Debate

This site is here to help spread the word about natural, raw diets for dogs (and cats). These diets are based on raw meaty bones and are commonly referred to as BARF, raw diets, or natural diets. BARF stands for "Biologically Appropriate Raw Food" or "Bones and Raw Food".

I don't believe in commercial pet food, it has the guts cooked out of it, when our pets have really evolved to eat RAW food ONLY. Also, you don't know whats in it: preservatives, by products, cheap grain fillers with no nutritional value, remains of 4D stock. 4D stands for Dead, dying, diseased and disabled. Anything that's a by product of human food manufacturing and classed as not fit for human consumption could be put into pet food.


Pet Food does not exist to make pets healthy! It exists only to make a profit!

Does that sound like something you want to feed your beloved dog or cat and expect them to be healthy? I think not. More shortly. Please check back soon.

Components of a raw diet - Vegetables

Vegetables can include anything except onion and potato. Oninon because it is toxic to dogs, and potato because the carbohydrate and starch content is too high. Vegetables must be completely crushed either in a blender until its like puree, or by putting through a juicer and using the pulp and as much juice as you like. The idea is to keep it raw, but it needs to resemble to stomach contents of a prey animal. Large pieces cannot be digested by dogs.

Green leafy vegetables are great, one or two members of the cabbage family, root vegetables, and anything else that is in season. Use a wide range of colours.
