Hi everyone..I'm new to the board =]
Can anyone tell me about the barf diet? I have a 7 month old sheltie (by the name of kai..) and I really want to switch him to the barf diet. I've been giving him raw turkey necks ocassionally and sometimes mixing veggies, fruits and raw meats into his meals but I want to totally eliminate the kibble and just stick to the raw diet. I've heard that the results are great!! I also read that since the dogs system is much shorter than ours, they can handle the raw meats. Is there any chance at all that the dog will get "food poisoning"? When I feed him necks...I tend to take away the bone when I heard the crunching of the bone...He usually just gets the meat. Should I leave the bone out longer? I'm not sure how long because I don't know if the bones will splinter or not. Are there any foods I should absolutley not feed him (aside from chocolate)?
