munty king 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I feed mine wafcol greyhound dry food with meat (chicken/lamb/beef/pork/hare/rabbit/venison, what ever is available or they catch) I also throw in some cooked veg mainly carrots/celery and tinned tomatoes plus mixed vitamins why do some people not mix meat and dry? Wafcol is dry but i always add hot water and serve them a warm dinner, feed them once a day, they might get a pigs ear in the morning for a treat! dont mean to sound stupid but what does barf stand for?

BARF stands for Bones And Raw Food or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, depending on the person who tells you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hunting Lad 50 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I voted for barf as the majority is raw but i mix it really. The terrier pups get raw meaty bones on a morning, a bowl of dried left out throw the day while am at work. Then on an evening get 3/4 a pound of meat mixed with a small amount of buiscuits and some sa 37. I know you aint meant to mix them but they are looking good fit and healthy so that does me fine The lurcher pups get similar pup 4 times instead of three.

littlefish 587 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Mine get BARF about 95% of the time. I have been feeding this way now for about one year and i don't think i will ever go back to dry - my dogs are in such good condition. Regarding feeding bones - since they started on barf their teeth have never been so white and their breath so sweet smelling - well, as dog breath goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
collie/grey 238 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) No dry food whatsoever for mine. Throughout the week they get tripe, minced meat of various types, chicken wings/carcasses, lamb rib bones, turkey wings/necks, ox tripe, ox heart and various organ meat once a week. No veg, no carbohydrates, no cooked food. They are all perfectly healthy and their teeth are immaculate with a breath as fresh as a breath can be.

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 i feed my dogs dry and barf. redmills racer and some beef meat or tripe iv never fed my dogs bones . If you've never fed you dogs bones then your dogs are missing out on essential calcium needed to make their own bones strong and durable. My dogs have all ate raw chicken/beef/lamb/rabbit (etc) bones since they were old enough to crunch them up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaker 7 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm gonna be a pedantic git and say neither. I feed my dogs raw meaty bones, carcases etc and nothing else. BARF is a term/diet propounded by Ian Billinghurst, and consists mainly of mushed up veggies, fruits, herbs and meat etc. Such a diet is awful for carnivorous teeth, and will only facilitate periodontal disease and systemic disease over time My dogs only eat whole animals and/or parts thereof. They've never ever had dried food in their lives, from weaning onwards. The mainstay here is whole meaty chicken frames, lamb breast, pork rib racks, the odd pig head, whole fish etc. You can't beat good fresh, whole tucka, and all the chewing and tearing that comes with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
