BARF stand for Bones And Raw Foods as well as Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods.


for my dogs a typical days meal is:

morning/afternoon(basicly anytime between 6am ad 2 pm):

veggies such as Romane lettace, red or green bell peppers, an egg or 2 including shell, broccoli, bannanas etc.. things like this, each day is differnt basicly its whatever we happen to have at the moment. sometimes Yogurt, all this is pulped in the blender with a little water to help it blend. this is then poured into the bowls which are washed daily and lined up on the counter, how much I pour in depends on the dogMistys gets the most, Happy and Blair get a little less then Misty, perky get a little less and Ripley gets the least,. NOTE: this is NOT actually measured out. I then add in some raw hamburger most days, my mom usually adds things like heart and kidney just because I have trouble cutting through those things myself. stir all together and hand out.

Evening(6PM sharp):

pull bones from fridge, usually chicken or pork ribletts give the 3 bigger dogs each 2 chicken backs and Musty also gets a few necks and the little dogs get 6 chicken necks each. pork ribletts 2 each and the little guys get 1 each.

Sundays: one large meal of meaty bones at 5PM this is the only meal on sundays.

I have never worried about salmonella, we just make sure to clean up after feeding time, and obviously wash our hands with soap and hot water after each feeding. in the fridge we do keep a seperat section at the bottom of the fridge for the dogs food to avoid cross contamination. as for the dogs, seeing as they potty 5 second after they finnish eatingI think its a safe bet that the dogs wont get it lol
