To Barf or Not to Barf

Barf stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. This is a movement that some pet owners have taken up. The thought process is to take dogs back in time to the things they ate in nature- before domestication. Things such as raw food and bones and sinew.

Many vets however suggest caution as this very possibly exposes your pet to salmonella and e. coli and other food borne illness, disease and parasites that the domesticated dog can not withstand. Remember that the animals that live with us today have live with us for thousands of years and are succeptable to many of the same diseases we are. They are no longer wild animals. Use caution. Use common sense.

I say not to barf.
