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
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 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
ny lengthy 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 ne
erwise balanced diet. It is your
responsibility to understand what you're putting in and on your new puppy
(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 des
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? I&
My cute little Hawkeye (we are oringinally from Iowa) is 5 mo old and #58. He is not

to. My other two adult dogs are also participating. They are doing great with the
adult dogs eating 2% fo their body wt
Thanks for the info. Vicky.
I don't feed BARF, but am not against it.

People and dogs can carry trichinella cysts but not be clinically affected.

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.

Karen,
I don't need to make scrapple, they sell it in the stores. We're civilized
here in the Philadelphia area. We also have Utz potato chips. I do make a
mean cheesesteak, however!

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

I have been reading a lot about the BARF diet and have heard a lot of
positive things and no negatives. Are there any draw backs to a raw diet?
Does a raw diet make the dog more aggressive and less domesticated?
