The BARF Diet Paperback - 2001

Just say "NO" to grains

Feed your dogs and cats the way Mother Nature intended by eliminating grains and feeding them a BARF, Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, diet. Australian veterinarian, Dr. Ian Billinghurst, long-time champion and international lecturer on the benefits and how-to of feeding raw foods to pets, explains in simple, understandable terms why and how to feed your animals for optimum health. Learn how to create simple, home-prepared meals that mimic the diet of your pets wild ancestors. You will no longer have to rely on mass-produced, often grain-based commercial foods that can compromise your pet's energy, health, even longevity.

Be inspired by the successes of pet owners, breeders and trainers who feed the BARF diet and report their animals have better energy levels, normalized weight, improved dental health, elimination of skin and ear problems, even overcoming diabetes and improving behavior.
