B.A.R.F. Food

Wholistic medicine deals with the whole pet witch includes your pets body, mind, and environment instead of just treating the symptoms but getting to the root of the problem. Holistic medicine uses herbs, flowers, homeopathy, massage, magnets and etc. These medicines usually work slower and deeper with long lasting effects and the final result is complete health.

What your pet eats can mean the difference between optimum health and disease. The statement "Garbage In, Garbage Out" rings true concerning what your pet eats. For instance commercial pet food is made for omnivores and not carnivores. Dogs and cats are CARNIVORES. Therefore, most pets have many diseases because there insides have not changed, in spite of domestication, there bodies were designed by God to eat and digest raw meaty bones. Most kibble is grain based even when the first ingredients are meat, because the meat is usually put in the kibble fresh ( fresh meat is 90% water) and the grains are already dried making the grains in kibble the dominating ingredient. Hence the commercial industry is more interested in the almighty dollar than your dog or cats health, because dogs and cats are Carnivores and not omnivores like pet food makers would lead you to believe. Pets have multiple health problems because of what they eat. Sixty years ago pets were fed table scraps and raw meaty bones. In that time period cancer, diabetes, hip dysplasia, itchy skin, etc. were not even heard of in that time for pets.

The best food for your carnivore is what nature intended. For instance, you have never seen a wolf roast a caribou over an open fire. Raw meaty bones, organs, and vegetables fixed appropriately are the carnivores ideal diet. You probably wonder where vegetables come in, from the prey animals stomach. Herbivores eat primarily grasses and herbs. This diet is known as B.A.R.F.(Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet. Pets fed this way are healthier live longer and just Shine with vibrant health. I had a chow chow fed this way for 14 years of her life. When she passed on the vet could not believe she was in such excellent health for a dog this age. Her teeth were picture perfect and her coat was gorgeous. The only thing that told her age was the gray on her chin. Barf fed pets are healthier and live longer. Dr. Ian Billinghurst has written several books on the barf diet- Give your dog a bone, Grow your pups with bones, and his newest one The Barf diet. His books can be purchased at the site at the top right hand side which is Dogwise.com.
