Are there any dogs that should't be fed BARF/RMB? I mean can you give it tot hem from puppy age right through thier lives or should it wait until they get their adult teeth?

Is there a particular extra or beneficial food for certain breeds?

Labmad/Pimp - could I possibly drop you a PM please

Quite a lot of breeders bring theirs up on the BARF diet straight away, as far as i know.
Although as i found out the other day you do need to be careful when feeding them bones. Rio had hidden one in the garden that he hadn't finished and Wils was eating it on Friday night. She managed to crunch a a couple of sharp prongs onto a bone about 4inches long and got it lodged down the side of her mouth and into her gum.. luckily it wasn't in that far, despite all the blood, and i managed to just pull it out and after a check up down the vets there was no harm done.

Glad all is well pal......monitoring is key, especially for dogs recently introduced to BARF, RMB's etc, as when they get a taste of 'REAL' food they gett all excited like it's a competition to see who can eat the most the fastest.......a bit like me when I go into McDonalds

I would not feed any other way.......for the dogs that is

Rio's a little sod. He grabs his food and runs to 1 of 2 places in the garden. Either the kennel or behind the stuff to take to the tip and eats it there.
I need to empty the garden and see exactly what he's got hidden.. definately need to clean the kennel as they've destroyed the bed in there
