There are several books out there that you can read about BARF. My personal
favorites are: all of Dr. Ian Billinghurst's books (Give your dog a bone,
grow your pup on bones, and his new one BARF Diet), and Susan Johnson's
book, Switching to Raw.

Hi, Kendra. I'll BRIEFLY address your BARF questions, as this is sort of a
taboo subject here on the Berner-L. Like some other emotionally-charged
topics it has caused big flame wars in the past. A more appropriate place
for discussion and getting some EXCELLENT information, support

Hi again,
I'm starting to think about trying BARF again, and have a few questions.
1. Is there a simple book I can get, with information, and most of all, recipes?
2. Is there an easy way to make the BARF diet? Does it have to consist of tons of
ingredients, and does it have to involve
discussion of BARF can be done on the Natural Berners
yahoogroup List. Anyone who would like to ask about BARF or give a
general summary on the Berner-L, please do! We always have new people on
the List, and we'd always like to hear more.
As in any discussion, it is best not to make negative comments
(food, vaccinations, pesticides, etc.).
BARF stands for biologically appropriate raw foods or bones and raw
foods. The theory behind it is that all life was designed by nature to be
nurtured by specific foods -- and dogs were not designed to eat grains,
highly-processed, or cooked foods. Just
I also know only a little but while all of you with the expertise are
answering the question posed by Andie excuse my ignorance -- what is the
BARF diet? -- would you please address generally, HOW vegetables, fruits,
and other human raw foods are prepared for dogs? Im not planning to go

My cute little Hawkeye (we are oringinally from Iowa) is 5 mo old and #58. He is not
thin but looking tall and sleek. This is the first dog I have ever feed the BARF diet
to. My other two adult dogs are also participating. They are doing great with the
adult dogs eating 2% fo their body wt
In response to a question about a BARF diet, I suggested anyone interested
in BARF, natural raw diets, or discussions on more natural treatment of
Berner health in general, join the NaturalBerners list at yahoogroups.com.
Deb Tripp, the moderator, just reminded me that this is a restricted
from a wide variety of wild
game meats. (I feed raw wild elk, antelope, bison, and deer meat here in
Montana, but I will NOT feed bear meat to my dogs.)
People and dogs can carry trichinella cysts but not be clinically affected.
Most us who feed BARF or another raw diet do feed raw pork products
Thanks for the info. Vicky.
I don't feed BARF, but am not against it.
Growing up I had a Mom who drilled into me that pork MUST be well done or
we'd all die of trichinosis! So was just curious about dogs who ate it raw.

Pat,
Is this true? Do you eat Scrapple? My husband is from Nebraska and he has
been trying and trying to find scrapple since he moved here (Oregon), of
course, no body here even knows what scrapple is
Do you have a recipe? I would love to surprise him sometime and make him
some
thanks

I see that you do in deed lack dietary knowledge, Pat, tho you have a good
understanding of the basics. You listed
a Bone by Dr. Ian
Billinghurst. This book is easy to understand and explains the principles
of the BARF diet. There is also a yahoo group specifically for people that
raw-feed their Berners called Natural Berners.
The only drawback to the diet that I can see is 1) you must do your homework

That's not a mistake, chocolate is important enough to be two separate
food groups. Green
