What to feed and not to feed your dogs is a ground for debate amongst breeders, and dog owners. Since its introduction, there has been a lot of criticism and arguments as to whether which is a better diet for your dogs: is it regular dog food, or the BARF diet?

BARF stands for bones and raw food. This means that what you feed your dogs consists mainly of raw meat, edible bones, and fleshy organs like heart and liver.  Advocates of this type of diet believe that bones and raw food are more beneficial to dogs than highly processed dog foods you usually find in pet stores and veterinary supply shops.

As discussed by Diego on the video, there are many benefits to feeding your dog raw meat and bones. For one, puppies that are introduced to raw feeding at a young age have better dental health. It is believed that chewing on bones helps remove plaque from the dog’s teeth. Chewing cartilage and muscle meat also acts as a dental floss for dogs, thus giving them fresher and cleaner breath.

Dogs who are introduced to the BARF diet are also known to have shinier coat. A lot of experts say that some dog foods are saturated with salt, and can cause irritation and allergies on the dog’s coat. With raw food, you are able to customize the ingredients on your dog’s diet and eliminate all the unwanted substances your dog is eating.
