Introduction

What is BARF?

BARF stands for "Biologically Appropriate Raw Food" and describes a diet for dogs in which only or predominantly raw meat, bones, offal and vegetables are fed. This method is based on the natural diet of wild dogs and wolves, which feed mainly on raw meat and prey.

The benefits of BARF

BARF offers numerous health benefits for dogs. It promotes better dental health by chewing on raw bones, supports healthy skin and shiny fur and can reduce digestive problems. Many dogs show more energy and vitality when they are switched to a raw-based diet. BARF also allows owners to retain control over the quality and origin of the food.
