BARF

So I didn't know this, but PetGirl told me to today about this raw food diet for dogs composed BARF which stand for, variously, "Biologically Appropriate Raw Food", "Bones And Raw Food" or "Bones and Raw Flesh", depending on who you speak to. BARF contains meat, bones, offal (tripe, liver, etc.), vegetables, herbs, fruit, etc., like wild dogs would eat. BARF is hotly debated among breeders and veterinarians -- you either are in favour of BARF or against BARF. No one seems to be ambivalent about BARF.

Some people make their own BARF and feed it to their pets, and others buy pre-packaged BARF, pre-mixed with all the primary BARF ingredients. When BARFing your pet, you have to be very careful to be sure it is properly balanced BARF, but there is lots of information available on the web to make sure your BARF contains everything it should.

The real joke here is that this is how BARF enthusiasts actually talk about BARF.
