Here are before and after shots of our BARF boys....
They came to us with the help of some amazing members on the DOL rescue forum in January.Both were recovering from a pretty rough start in life. Zed, the brown pup, was in the worst shape, sporting a very fetching, coarse orange coat!!
The pups have been on BARF since they were rescued by Paws & Hooves- the only "exception" to the diet was a handful of Eaglepack Puppy Kibble for their midday meal.
Here's the result after a month and a half - I can't keep them still long enough to get something more recent!
Their daily menu dependents on what's cheapest & freshest. We tend to do most of their shopping at Aussie Pet Supplies in Haberfield but I also pick up fresh meat on special when I do the human's shopping.
Generally they get chicken necks or wings for breakast.
Dinner is chicken/beef/lamb mince with vegies (Aussie Pet makes some mixes based on BARF principles- I also add my own fresh veggies to their standard minces). At the moment they get liver/ heart in their mince mixes - I've tried to introduce it seperately but they're not keen!
I also add a tin of sardines every few days which I think is the secret to their shiny coats, along with egg or olive oil.
A few days a week they get lamb bones to chew, alternated with Kongs filled with treats and raw fruit and veggies to nibble on during the day.
It's hard to do a true before and after comparison for these little guys but BARF certainly seems to agree with them
Cheers,
Kel
