I guess what you are saying is you don't like the BARF diet?Don't know where you pulled all that from, have you read any books on the barf diet to get their point of view? Each to their own, I know for a fact that my 2 dogs certainly benefit from this diet and I will NEVER again feed my dogs processed food. Chris

No flaming from me, but... why do you wish your dog to eat a vegetarian diet?

I would be interested to know how you went with raising your pup on a "raw" diet.Did you have any issues at all, and did pup have any dislikes at all with this diet? My pup (iv'e only had him 3 days) is still fairly disinterested in his dry food (Bonnie Puppy by Purina)but gets stuck into his allocated 3 chicken necks a day. As my earlier post said, I was going to switch him to a fresh diet at around 10-12 months, but....... Chris

My experience with BARF diet. I have a 5 yr old female Brittany who has been on a "fresh" diet for 3 years. Her diet is fairly simple and made up of the following: Roo Tails Chicken Wings Vegetables (uncooked and mulched) Fish (once a week and only whiting or garfish or other fine boned fish) Raw Eggs are mixed in occasionally. Fairly straightforward, and she has thrived on it. Her coat is glossy and soft and we don't wash her( we let her occasional swim take care of that.) Her poos are solid and not messy, and her breath is bearable And her teeth are in good nick. And she has had no health issues at all, so all in all we will never go back to a processed diet, and are lucky that we have a very good Pet Food Supplier who supplies all except the fish at good prices. And our "new" Toller puppy will go onto a fresh diet when he is between 10-12 months old.I might start earlier but will have to seek advice from my vet as to whether this is a good idea.
