What is a Raw Food Diet for Dogs?
A raw food diet consists of uncooked meat, bones, organs, and vegetables designed to mimic a dog’s natural ancestral diet. It is often referred to as a BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet.
Potential Benefits of a Raw Diet
Supporters claim raw feeding leads to healthier skin, improved digestion, and shinier coats. It also encourages natural chewing behaviour, which can improve dental health.
Risks and Considerations
A raw diet requires careful planning to ensure dogs receive balanced nutrition. Handling raw meat safely and consulting a veterinarian are essential to prevent health risks. See our guide on Feeding.
