Our dogs tell us they are scavengers:
Leave your dog alone with a garbage can and prove this truth. Any dog, wild or domestic, will eat the rotting remains of another animal that is dead, including its bones. This is our dog explaining that as one of nature's scavengers, it is adapted by long evolution to eat and actually requires lots of bones. Our dog is also explaining that as a scavenger, it can safely handle food that is decayed and contains bacteria.
Our dogs tell us that it is quite normal for them as scavengers to eat both soil and feces. If we examine the nutrients in feces, we find that feces supplies our dog with first class protein, essential fatty acids, B Vitamins, pro-biotics and vegetable fibre. I think you will agree that this is quite an impressive list.
Because our dogs are requesting feces as part of the food we supply them; we will oblige, but not with feces. If necessary, we will add first class protein such as eggs or cottage cheese; essential fatty acids (oils), B vitamins and pro-biotics as part of the diet or as supplements; and vegetable fibre as part of the diet. As soil eaters, our dogs are looking for trace minerals. For this we will add kelp and alfalfa to the diet.
To read further about the B.A.R.F Diet we recomment the book "The Barf Diet", by Dr. Billinghurst - click here to order!

Our dogs tell us they are vegetarians:
Wild dogs love to eat the stomach and intestinal contents of their prey. Warm, juicy and fermenting is how they ear their vegetable material. Modern dogs, given the opportunity, tell us exactly the same story. Our dogs also love fruit. They will scavenge the orchards, they will dine at the compost heap.
All of this is a request that non-starchy vegetables and fruit be included in their diet. They are asking for fruit that is ripe to over-ripe. They want their vegetables to be raw, but those veggies have to be pulverized until they resemble the gut contents of animals such as a sheep, rabbit or deer.
Apart from potatoes, the only vegetable your dog does NOT want to eat will be the onion. You dog will want the peas and beans (legumes) to be either cooked (not so good) or sprouted (excellent).
Our dogs are telling us that for tip top healthy they do need vegetable material, but it must be raw and it must be crushed or blended.

Our dogs tell us they are carnivores:
Our dogs tell us they are like wolves. They love to eat other animals. They love to ear the internal organs, the meat, the bones and everything else that makes up another animal.
Every breed of dog tells us the same story: from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and everything in between. (It is not about what we find appealing, or packaged to look like cookies, etc... It is about feeding your dog things their body can recognize and digest.)
Our dogs are pleading with us to feed them a diet that contains a wide range of different animal parts. That is what they want - but will we do it? The Dog Bowl certainly hopes so! Click here to shop for B.A.R.F. and raw pet food.

Our dogs assue us they are raw food eaters:
When we ask wild dogs, they explain very patiently that they live exclusively on raw foods. That their whole metabolism was and is geared to the consumption of raw foods.
Our domestic dogs assure us they are no different. That when they are fed raw foods, their healthy improves remarkably. They have pointed this out in numerous feeling trials as seen by Dr. Billinghurst in "The Barf Diet" book.
Our dogs are asking that for their health's sake, most 0f and if possible ALL - of the food they are given is presented - in its whole, RAW, natural state.

Asking the DOG about feeding Dogs:
When we asked the dog about what we needed to feed it in order to mimic its natural is evolutionary diet, we were told of seven key words that would five us the answers we needed.
These key words describe its natural eating habits.
These words are:
These key words describe its natural eating habits.
These words are:
- raw,
- carrnivore,
- hunter,
- scavenger,
- opportunist,
- vegetarian, and
- omnivore.
Our dogs will now explain the practical significance of these key words in terms of deciding precisely what dogs should and should NOT eat....
Keys to feeding BARF or raw food:
The Dog Bowl and Dr. Billinghurst (Who initiated the BARF Diet) want to introduce you to a number of key words, which can be used when deciding whether particular food items quality as valid components of the evolutionary or BARF diet for our pets.
These key words relate to the natural or evolutionary feeding habits of our pets, and who better to explain their significance to us than our pets themselves.
Let's first question our dogs on this vital topic...

Raw Pet Food: Pets are perfectly capable of eating whole raw natural foods!
Our pets' basic physiology has changed very little with domestication despite obvious and dramatic changes in their physical appearance and mindset. The 70 years our pets have been eating processed pet food is an impossibly short period of time in which to lose traits developed over millions of years. Such changes would take hundreds of thousands of years!
Our pets are not only ABLE to eat their evolutionary diet, they actually REQUIRE IT for maximum health. This sound science in every sense of the word.
Feeding trials done by Dr. Billinghurst over the last twenty years have demonstrated that all modern pets are entirely capable of digesting and assimilating all the components of an evolutionary diet. This includes raw meaty bones, crushed raw vegetables and offal. Their digestive and immune system has lost none of its ability to use and safely deal with the bacteria in raw foods.
In Dr. Billinghurst's book "The BARF Diet" he takes you through some of the other false ideas (you might have to contend with) that have evolved from the idea your pet's physiology has changed since either domestication or the introduction of commercial pet food.

Recalled Pet Food
The BARF Diet – yet another reason to convert your pet now!
As a responsible pet owner, you can’t help but wonder. With pet food recalls making headlines such as more than 60 million cans and pouches of dog and cat food being recalled sold under dozens of brand names, we’re convinced.
Actually, we were convinced prior to hearing the recent news that specific canned foods were linked to numerous deaths in cats and dogs. With a healthy food like the BARF diet, your dog or cat will be consuming wholesome ingredients linked to proper nutrition. No additives. No preservatives. There’s nothing unhealthy about BARF.
For instance, in the situation sited above food was manufactured by Menu Foods which also makes food for other companies such as a unit of Procter & Gamble, Nestle Purina PetCare and Hills Pet Nutrition. While Menu Foods is recalling specific gravy-style pet food in cans and pouches, apparently the test of its food had failed to identify issues with the products. The sad deaths of cats and dogs have been from kidney disease; symptoms included lethargy, jaundice, and vomiting. (Click here to read more about processed pet food.)
On the contrary, the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet, or BARF diet, follows the philosophy that every animal on earth requires a biological diet; the diet consists of food without any preservatives or additives. In fact, a biologically appropriate diet is just that; BARF is a raw diet that maximizes health and longevity. Think of it this way: commercial dog and cat food can be categorized as kibble and canned. Kibble represents the dry food or moist pellets and biscuits with a cereal base, meat by-products, and countless additives. Water must always be available to your pet when you’re serving kibble.
Meat by-products and vegetables, pre-cooked and ready to serve food encompasses canned food. Again, canned food typically contains additives which manufacturers add to the food. While a BARF diet consists of raw food, some owners may worry if the presence of bacteria will harm their pet. Keep in mind, with the evolution of time dogs have evolved to eat food which has contained bacteria which has only strengthened their immune system. In the wild, dogs often eat soil, contaminated meat, infected meat, etc. Essentially, bacteria in raw meat have no impact literally to almost all of the dogs eating a raw food diet. While we’re not endorsing bacteria in your dog’s food, we are saying that dogs who have eaten commercial pet food will be safe in eating a clean raw food diet.
Nutrition and your dog’s overall health is incredibly important. For more information about the BARF Diet and to shop for raw food click here!

BARF Diet for pets:
How can You be sure your pet is capable of eating a raw food diet?
Should dogs and cats eat BARF?
Just what sort of foods are modern pets capable of eating?
There is a belief that modern pets can no longer eat whole raw natural foods because their basic physiology has been altered by either the process of domestication or by having eaten cooked and processed pet food for approximately 70 years.

BARF Benefit - The BARF Diet Reduces the Impact of a Range of Degenerative Diseases:
Pets eating an evolutionary diet, live much longer than their kibble fed counterparts, and are less likely to develop cancer or any of the other degenerative diseases which plague modern pets.
Pet owners who switch their older pets to BARF usually find whatever degenerative disease their pet has contracted suddenly becomes less of a problem. This has been a constant finding over the years. If the owners are prepared to further modify the BARF diet to suit the particular disease process that has taken hold of their pet, the benefit becomes even greater. This good news applies to many forms of cancer.
Over the years the BARF diet has had major success with remissions of many tumors including mast cell tumors, mammary tumors and lymphomas.
Dr Billinghurst thinks, and The Dog Bowl agrees, that with the passage of time, as more pet owners adopt the BARF diet for their pet with cancer, we will record remissions of a wider range of tumors.

BARF Benefit - Peopel Who Feed Their Dogs BARF Diet Report Incredible Improvements in Behavior:
Dogs that are fed the BARF diet are much calmer, nore easily trained and less prone to erratic and unpredictable behavior.
Many dog trainers and behaviorists refuse to deal with any dog that has not been switched to a wholesome raw food diet. Pets fed artificial food are commonly observed to show behavior, which parallels that exhibited by children with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder. When these pets are switched to the BARF diet, the improvement in temperment is often seen within days.
There are many dogs alive today, living happily with their families, that had been living on "death row" because of aggressive and dangerously unpredictable behavioral patterns. Their lives were transformed when they were switched to BARF.

BARF Benefit - Reproductive Problems Disappear:
Not all of the reproductive problems will disappear in one generation. However, over the course of three or four generations, persistent BARF feeding will be rewarded with significantly decreased reproductive problems, including increased bitch health and fertility, unassisted births, brilliant milk production and much greater viability of the offspring.

BARF Benefit - Disappearing Diabetes in dogs and cats:
Because of the low levels of soluble carbohydrates in the BARF diet, it comes as no surprise that BARF fed pets rarely develop diabetes.
Pets that are already diabetic, when switched to the BARF diet will usually require much less insulin.
Insulin dependent cats often become completely normal once they begin to eat BARF.

BARF Benefit - Expect Orthopedic Conditions in Young Dogs to Disappear:
If you are a dog breeder and would like to see problems such as Hip and Elbow dysplasia disappear from your breeding program, we suggest you seriously consider the BARF diet as the way you raise your young dogs.
BARF has a normalizing effect on bone growth. This is hardly surprising as the BARF diet is the dogs' evolutionary diet.

BARF Benefit - Resistance to Internal and External Parasites Escalates:
A Wonderful effect of the BARF Diet is the increased resistance our pets have to both fleas and "worms" or intestinal parasites.
Once you start feeding BARF, you are almost guaranteed to be spending less money on worming and flea treatments. This is not only reduces the strain on the bank balance, it also means there will be less strain on our pets' detoxification system. This is another example of the BARF diet's remarkable influence on our pets' immune systems.

BARF Benefit - Many BARF Feeders Report The Disappearance of "Dry Eye" Syndrome:
This is one of the many problems, which 'unaccountably' clear up when a pet is switched to BARF. The return of tears can be immediate or it may take months, according to Dr. Billinghurst.
There is no explanation for this beyond that obvious normalizing effect of BARF on our pet's bodies. They are simply ingesting the best fuel for their bodies to function properly.

BARF Benefit - Improved Water Balance:
Improving water balance is an intriguing improvement.
Per Dr. Billinghurst it relates in part to the hydrating effect of the BARF diet and in part to the lowered insulin levels brought about by the minimal starch and sugar levels in BARF.
What you will notice is that your BARF fed pet has much less need for the water bowl. Over time, by a variety of mechanisms, the BARF diet will prevent the formation of crystals and stones in the urine of dogs and cats. It also contributes in a major way to the health of the kidneys.
Kidney failure is a MAJOR cause of death in modern pets!

Let's talk about doggy dentals!
Why put your dog through the stress of a dental when all you have to do is spray LebaII twice a day?
Not to mention the COST of a dental! Just to walk into a vet's office for a regular visit starts at $50. Dentals range from $300 to the thousands, pending on how good or bad your pet's teeth are.
Try Leba BEFORE you have to consider taking your pup (or kitty) in for a dental - click here!

BARF Benefit - Incontinence Disappears:
Incontinence disappears, not 100% of the time, but often enough to have us asking why!Per Dr. Billinghurst, because incontinence often responds to hormonal treatment, its disappearance when we start feeding BARF is a good indication of BARF's hormone balancing abilities.
The Dog Bowl also offers washable dog beds and other items to help you deal with dogs that have incontinence.
Friday, March 09, 2007
BARF Benefit - Arthritis Disappears:
According to Dr. Billinghurst, after a few weeks (to months) you can expect to see much greater mobility in your pet. This is part of the reason so many older pets have a "new lease on life" when switched to BARF.
You may find you no longer have to buy those horrendously expensive arthritis pills (NSAIDS) with the ever present danger of side effects, such as diarrhea (to name one of the many).
The weekly trip to the acupuncturist may become a thing of the past. Even better the results with this problem will be seen when BARF is suitably modified by the addition of healthy oils and anti-oxidant vitamins, and increase in green leafy vegetables and the removal of red meats.

Rubber dog toys are good for teeth!
Ever wonder why your dog chews?Well, one of the main reasons is to clean the teeth and massage the gums - especially for the younger dogs (this is very important)!
Why not give him a chew toy he really can sink his teeth into? New at The Dog Bowl online storefront - gear dog toys! These are available in three sizes: small, medium, and large (shown is 6.5" long x 3" diameter, and heavy 13.6 oz).
Each rubber gear turns and moves as your dog chews on the toy. Ultimately cleaning your dog's teeth and massaging the gums at the same time!
If your dog is a chewer this is one of our favorites & is sure to be your dog's as well!
BARF Benefit - Infected Ears Become Healthy Again:
Infected ears become healthy again, per Dr. Billinghurst.
Ear problems that are years old suddenly disappear!
This is not surprising since the BARF diet normalizes and strengthens the immune system. Because BARF contains a good balance of essential fatty acids and other immune normalizing strengthening nuteirnts, it reduces inflammatory conditions and waves goodbye to a wide range of infectious processes.
Imagine how good your pet will feel with trouble free ears! As well as offering the BARF food, The Dog Bowl also has wonderful ear cleansing options that will help your pet's ears stay healthy and clean (click here to see our ear cleansing products).

BARF Benefit - Many Skin Problems will Disappear:
Per Dr. Billinghurst's experience many skin problems will disappear when pets are fed the BARF Diet! (Click here to see books and literature by Dr. Billinghurst.)
When persistent skin problems suddenly disappear, and vet visits, medicated washes, antibiotics, cortisone shots and cortisone tablets are no longer needed, it has to mean something!
It is hard to ignore the deeply colored, lustrous, thick and healthy coat that has replaced the moth eaten, broken sjafted disaster of a hairdo your pet used to display.
If you don't pick up on this, perhaps your vet or one of your friends will point this out!
Better yet, take a before and after photo!
(Also consider a shampoo that contains no BHA, no SLS, no DEA, no alcohol, no detergent, etc which will dry the dog's skin & hair, click here to see The Dog Bowl's selection of organic and gentle grooming shampoos and sprays.)

BARF Benefit - Many Dental Problems Disappear:
Per Dr. BIllinghurst's experience many dental problems disappear! This is another feature of the BARF fed pet that quickly becomes apparent.
Your pet will have a much improved breath! The tartar will disappear and be replaced by clean, shining teeth.
All without having to visit the pet dentist or brush their teeth. This means major savings in veterinary bills, reduced need for toxic anesthetics and best of all, a mouth that no longer speads bacteria and poisons internally. A mouth that is much less of a danger - to its human family, but most importantly to it's owner!

All without having to visit the pet dentist or brush their teeth. This means major savings in veterinary bills, reduced need for toxic anesthetics and best of all, a mouth that no longer speads bacteria and poisons internally. A mouth that is much less of a danger - to its human family, but most importantly to it's owner!

BARF Benefit - Increased Lean Body Mass:
Per Dr. BIllinghurst, your pet will lose unwanted fat and fain increased muscle mass.
This will make your pet look better, increase its metabolic rate, raise its activity levels and increase its healthy life span.
With dogs, the effect will be more rapid if you combine the BARF diet with some normal sensible exercise.
Cats mostly exercise themselves, of course, but you can give some good cat toys to coax them into play mode. (Click here to read more about cat nutrition.)

BARF Diet Benefit - Escalating Energy Levels:
Per Dr. Billinghurst, when fed the BARF diet, one of the first changes seen in you pet(s) will be a new zest for living.
Young and active dogs develop an incredible increase in stamina.
Older pets "magically" transform into younger animals, no longer lying around with little interest in their surroundings.
They begin to go for walks again, to play ball, and to join in with family activities.
Cats show all of these traits returning, but in a much more subtle way.

BARF can work wonders!
Yes - BARF can improve your pet's life!
Are you unsure whether you should make the effort to learn about feeding the BARF diet to your pets?
The Dog Bowl gets this sort of question every day. If someone told you you could be healthier by eating less processed foods you would say "of course"!
This concept of fresh foods as being healthy for you also applies to pets. We call it BARF: Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. (Click here to read more about raw dog food or BARF.)
When a pet is switched to the BARF diet, changes occur. Some are subtle and other blatantly obvious. Some occur almost immediately. Others can take months or even years. Some may take a number of generations. They will all involve improvements in health.
It is The Dog Bowl's hope that was is listed as improvements (Dr. Billinghurst agrees) will as as major encouragement for any pet owner considering the switch to BARF.
