The BARF Diet for dogs book, by Dr. Ian Billinghurst
The BARF® Diet is a useful primer for the beginning “BARFer”. However, it also contains much new information, making it a valuable addition to the library of the experienced BARFer. The target audience includes vets, breeders, trainers, pet owners or any other person seeking to either understand or expand their knowledge of evolutionary diets. The early chapters cover the sound scientific principles on which the evolutionary diet – the BARF® diet – is based and detail the enormous health benefits available when animals are fed that way. There is a chapter devoted to explaining supplementation.
There is another chapter, which details the concept of, complete and balanced. This chapter is a must for those people who believe that processed pet foods fulfill the complete and balanced promise. There is a chapter devoted to the vexed question of feeding bones and the fear of bacteria in the BARF® DIET. In the second half of The BARF® Diet for dogs book, there are recipes and other highly relevant and practical information to assist in the home production of BARF® diets for both dogs and cats. Included in this section is a Chapter on “Trouble-shooting” and one on “Switching to BARF®.” This is the short practical book on BARF® that so many BARFers have asked for.
