What is a BARF diet for dogs?

BARF stands for 'Biologically Appropriate Raw Food'. A BARF diet for dogs is based on feeding a diet of raw meat, bones, offal, and vegetables. The goal is to mimic the natural diet of a dog's ancestors. Brands like Big Dog and Dr. B's BARF offer complete and balanced BARF diets in a convenient patty format.

What are the benefits of a raw dog food diet?

Many pet owners who feed a raw diet report a number of benefits for their dogs, including improved digestion, healthier skin and coat, cleaner teeth, and reduced allergy symptoms.

Is raw dog food safe?

By virtue of being made with raw meat products, all raw dog food carries a risk of bacterial contamination. All raw dog food products sold by Pet Circle meet our vet team's high standards for quality and safety making them a safer option in our opinion. It's especially important to follow safe food handling practices when preparing raw food for your dog, such as washing your hands and your dog's bowl after each meal. We do not recommend feeding raw food to dogs in close contact with small children, the elderly or people with suppressed immune systems. If your dog has a chronic illness or is being treated with chemotherapy we recommend checking with your veterinarian before feeding raw. If raw isn't the right fit for your dog, we recommend checking out our range of gently cooked fresh and frozen meals , meatballs and rolls .

How do I transition my dog to raw food?

When transitioning to a raw diet, it's best to do so gradually to avoid an upset stomach. You can start by mixing a small amount of raw food with your dog's current food, and gradually increase the amount of raw food over a period of 7-10 days. For more detailed instructions, you can read our guide on how to transition your dog to a new food .
