Have to say Yes they do become smelly fart wise lol but its cos they are eating a natural diet so it works like it would with humans lol

But poo wise its sooo much easier to clean up after them dust pan an brush in the yard an ya sorted lol and easily bagged up when out on walks lol

my dogs are very healthy and happy on their raw diet least they have changes in food rather than the same thing day in and day out for breakfast and tea

i use the weinrights salmon and potato,
its hypo allergenic as is anything else they have,i guess its half BARF as they have raw meat and fish mixed into the dry biscuits

Its worked wonders for Badgers coat and skin condition,im begining to believe its the diet that makes the dog,theyve both lost weight too

I've fed all my dogs BARF for almost 30 yrs now, just didn't know it had a name lol.

I've had GSD'sm Ridgebacks, Poms, Lurchers, Shelties and now schips all do great on their raw diet. Made up champions here and overseas on it feel sorry for some overseas folk as raw tripe is very difficult to get hold of in some countries.

I rear the pups on BARF but if I know their new homes aren't going to do it then I have to accept a commerical alternative so they're weaned onto that with the BARF dogs moved over later.

Lady was fed on eukanuba complete dry diet for years. Due to a mix of steroids and old age reeking havoc on her teeth,i was advised to put her on soft food.the vet suggested pedigree chum meat..however as someone already mentioned it has made her slightly looser than desired. I mentioned that to the vet n basically got told 'it'll settle down eventually'

anyways my long winded post is to query if there is anyway of feeding the BARF diet to her with her bad/lack of teeth?

The barf diet is great just cant get my staffy to eat the stuff oh chuck her a meat bone and she is off to bury it in the garden raw veg pfffft she wont touch it at all or any type of pasta/rice

The only thing we can get in to her is bakers which she does fine on a few hearts etc and tripe with those dry flake things in a yellow paper bag cant remember what they are called lol
No wet dog food tinned as it really damages teeth and of course bacon scraps etc

can she eat chicken wings? meaning can she manage them as a raw chicken wing is great for firming up sloppy poops

Also i find it od that the vet would reccomend pedigree chum and not the science plan stuff maybe that would be a lil less harsh on her tum im sure ya can get it for sensitive tummies

or if you wanted to give her dried food just soak it in boiling water let it cool to room temp then feed it to her as this makes the biscuits soggy so wont be harsh on her teeth

also yes there is a way of feeding barf with lack of teeth all you have to do is pureefie everything and grind things just basically make it to mush like baby food
