BARF vs. COMMERCIAL DOGFOOD

Very informative...

Oh okay...thanks...sorry if it is long...but I might as well share what my daily agenda is like in feeding my three dogs. I credit the household staff in preparing the dogs' food. In the States it would have been very hard for me with my schedule to have pulled this off on a daily basis.

Daily Meat (twice a day): chicken necks or backs (with my three dogs a total of 2 kilos of meat daily)
Interchange with the following:
"kabao" when I have extra money to spend which I buy in Carbon
tripe and batikulon
liver twice a month
I throw the meat in boiling water for 3 minutes only with about three squeezed calamansi juice and the calamansi in the water.

Raw Veggies which are shredded and mixed all together:
yellow calabasa with the seeds (seeds are suppose to be a good dewormer)
string beans
a little garlic (which acts as an anti-biotic)
carrots
celery (it is approx P80 per kilo in Carbon, don't buy in the groceries cuz too expensive)
camote
soft green peas

Grains: maybe only 1/4 cup of white or brown rice, whatever is available in my kitchen; cooked

Supplements: 1. Kelp - 1/4 teaspoon in each of the dogs' bowl; Kelp is loaded with minerals that helps remove heavy metals, and helps in the dogs' digestion and benefits the kidneys. It is a natural fungicides and good for the heart, lungs, thyroid, and breath. (I buy the kelp powder at the Japanese/Korean grocery store several doors from Pipers for P130.00 which lasts me for almost two months.
2. Vitamin C tablets: excellent to build immunities and for their coat (I crush the tablets and mix it in their food)
3. Dog MultiVitamins with liver flavor (this is their "candy" before going to bed) hehehehe; they all sit in a line and wait to just eat it like candy.

I mix the meat, the raw vegetables, the rice, and the supplements and feed them two times: a.m. and pm, after all the humans eat first (ala pack leader concept).

Did I bore you all? hehehehehe...

curious lang ko, unsa ang bisaya nga ngalan aning tripe? diba mao mani ang green sa tiyan sa baka?

i am also planning to switch to BARF for my active BM. I have tried to chop a raw chicken leg into small pieces today, washed it properly and fed it to my 8 week old pup. Wai duha2, wai daghan arte, kaon dretso, unlike sa iyang dogfood nga simhot2on pa, usahay byaan. I have also made allot of research if this decision will be wise, so far, what i have researched is going along with my decision. I will try to feed my pup raw chicken back/neck for a week and will observe changes.

ayaw ninyo inita kay dili nana raw. ang tawag ana kay pina kurat na. dapat dili jud mo agi og init.

@jangska sulayi bro ayaw inita, e-defrost lang or ipa atubang sa electric fan. defrost it 1 hour or 2 hours before.

ako BARF sa manga shih tzu kay eager kaau mo kaon. in less than 1 minute, hurot ang pagkaon nila... ako nya e-video ig ma pakaon unya og dili ko ma limot.

ang naka nindot kay dili na kaau sila mo inom og tubig, lesser odor ang stool nya gamay ra ang stool nya dili pod kaau daghan ang ihi nila.

ganahan ko try ani barf but im worried about bitok and how often and unsa nga deworming ang maayu if mag barf diet ang dog? the vet suggested mag dog food lang kay unsafe daw ang meat nato compared sa lain country.
