I thought i make for you guys a little text with the importanst barf rules. the one's of you, who have a barf book will know this all allready, but maybe here is someone who wants to start with barf and is very unsure.



Please feed him twice a day. Mornings after your walk and evenings after the last walk!



Here is a list, what you can feed your dog:

Meat:

• beef
• chicken
• lamb (no bowel/intestinal and stomach)
• horse (no organs)
• rabbit (no bowels/intestinal)
• game (no wild boar and no stomach)
• fish (whole raw fish, fish fillet, fish head)

Bones:

Only raw bones, because cooked or roasted bones splinter and can hurt dogs!

Bones have lots of calcium, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes!

Please don’t feed long bones!

Some dogs get bone poop (very hard and light) from eating bones. try carefully and see what happens. if he gets bone poop, don’t feed him very often bones, better to take calcium preparations or mix him eggshell in his food.
