Hi Cassie ... my friend is the BARF distributor for South Australia ... and I feed nothing but the natural way and find it to be economical ... food wise and vet wise ... etc ... read more about BARF and our dogs Visit My Website ... I swear by BARF feeding ... Merlin's coat and health has improved ... and I do not feed the recommended amount on the pack ... all dog's metabolisms are different and we need to experiment a bit to get it right ...
