Raw Meaty Bones and Our Pets' Mineral Requirements:
To maximize our pets' health, we should supply them with the same spectrum, balance and form of minerals as eaten by their wild ancestors. (Perfect example: The zoos do not have stoves in their kitchen!)
Our pets' bodies are designed to use bones as their main source of minerals. They have been doing this for millions of years. This is another reason raw meaty bones are the perfect staple of our modern pets. Raw meaty bones deliver our pets' balanced supply of minerals, including calcium and phosphorus in a unique and irreplaceable way.
The two minerals needed in greatest abundance are calcium and phosphorus, but there are many more minerals such as zinc, magnesium, manganese, iodine, selenium, chromium, iron, etc., which your dog and cat requires.
Your pet will not, cannot, suffer mineral deficiencies, imbalances or excesses, when raw meaty bones make up the bulk of its diet. Raw meaty bones enable modern pets to grow normally, reproduce normally and remain healthy into advanced old age.
This is because bones are the storehouse of all the minerals your pet requires in perfect balance and in a perfectly available form. This applies to cats and dogs in ALL breeds and ALL ages, including puppies and kittens!
Excellent levels of minerals (other than calcium) in a biologically appropriate form are to be found in the other components of the BARF diet - that is, in the meat, the vegetables, the organ meat and the kelp powder. Kelp is particularly useful as a source of iodine. These other components of BARF act as a "fail safe" mechanism, not only for minerals, but also for many other nutrients.
