Barf - Recipes And Nutritional Requirements

[LMH]

Hi All

I'd like to home prepare all meals for my whippet. Cooked or BARF is fine.

Does anyone have links to nutritional requirements and satisfying them via a BARF diet?

For the past 8 months I've been preparing home cooked Renal diet to exact requirements based on a complex spread sheet for my whippet. Naturally a renal diet is far more specific.

Just wondering if you give your dog additional supplements on a regular basis or not. Or do you just try and provide a balance of different proteins and ensure that veg is well cooked/pureed?

Thanks in advance,

Lisa

I suggest reading the Give a Dog a Bone book by Dr Billinghurst. That outlines the BARF diet. I was feeding kelp and brewers yeast when I did BARF. Also fed extra calcium I think in the form of cottage cheese mainly.

Where about are you LMH

hi there, I'm in Sydney, Australia. Not too far from Brisvegas ;)

well if you do not feel like making it yourself I suggest you buy from these guys, I buy from them here in brisbane and my dogs LOVE it and it has everything in them that they need. http://www.caninecountrybarf.com.au/index.html

AND its cheap, about $3.25 for a 1kg. And they usually do deals like if you buy 10 its only $30

ETA: AND there are different types, like if you dog has a sensitive stomach etc. they have one especially for them.
