BARF- The bones and raw food Diet, an Introduction
Sunday, September 16th, 2007What is the Diet About?
Feeding dogs the diet they evolved to eat over millions of years of genetic adaptation. Other terms for the diet include evolutionary diet, natural diet and species appropriate diet.
Philosophy
If our bulldogs are to reach their genetic potential in terms of health, longevity, physical activity and reproduction, their modern day diet must mimic as closely as possible their evolutionary diet.
The further an animal’s diet departs from its evolutionary diet, the more health problems that animal is likely to develop. That is why modern grain based pet foods, no matter how well researched, cause many health problems. It is impossible for them to match the health enhancing attributes of the evolutionary diet.
