ORIGINAL: intenze I would be concerned about a couple of things with the BARF diet. The first is the issue of raw meat and bacteria. I would hesitate to feed that to my dog, for fear of contamination. The second part is all the veggies. I never have seen a dog eat a vegetable they didn't have to eat, nor would they eat a cereal unless it was people food. Dogs, being carnivores, have very specialized digestive systems and do not handle fiber well. Has anyone ever seen a dog dig up and eat a carrot? As far as contamination goes, dogs are not susceptible to thing commonly found in meat or veggies for that matter. It is why they can eat th things they do naturally and NOT get sick. When was the last time you ate something green and furry out of the garbage after it sat there for like... 3 days without getting sick? I've seen dogs eat plenty f veggies on their own and they weren't starving either. They seem to like pumpkins and corn. o.O Never did figure out why.....
