Raw fed, with lots of variety - all different types of minced meat, chicken carcass, rabbit, pilchards, yoghurt, eggs etc. They look all right to me :D Injuries heal up very quickly; not hyperactive, no allergies, happy balanced dogs.

Speaking from a coursing side of things i dont think barf diet works , i watched a dog run fed this way and it started of well , its condition was good , but it seemed to lose its spark as the season went on , infact it went flat as a fart , its sister which i own was fed on dry & meat mixed with suplements etc etc , and she finished the season very strong .

 

I think you can get your dog fit on a barf diet , but you cant keep it fit ...

 

I no people will say its what they eat in the wild , but wild dogs eat a lot more than bones and meat , when wild animals make a kill they will gorge on a big kill and hang around it untill its time to make another kill ....

 

Were as we feed our dogs small amounts of food , and give them lots of exercize , this they wouldnt do in the wild ,

 

this is the reason i think dogs go flat on the barf diet , there isnt enough in it to maintain the high level of fitness.. ....

 

my mate runs his bull x dogs on nothing but barf and his dogs always look in very good condition , so it might work for lamp dogs i cant really say , but it doesnt work for coursing dogs that get jogged every night and have the long runs that the lamp dogs dont , this is just my opinion on what i have seen ...............

There isn’t enough what in it? Surly there are more vitamins, minerals, protein or what ever your dog needs in a varied barf diet than the grain based processed crap. If you haven’t had good results you must not have been doing it right. ;) atb bedrock

i listen to every ones opinions and take on board if i think its right, but ive allways fed my dogs on Barf and they are worked hard 4 nights a week and when fit they stay there and never found wanting, but i do add vits and feed 2 times a day when lamping them hard.
