Dogs and cats need raw meat as a staple diet.

The wolf is undisputedly the forefather of today’s dogs. For thousands of years, humans have changed the external appearance (Dachshund, Great Dane) as well as special skills (guarding, protecting, hunting or lap-dog). The dog’s digestive system however remains unchanged. Both dogs and cats, who have also been domesticated for thousands of years, belong to the family of carnivores, i.e. meat eaters. Have a look into your dogs or cats snout – those sharp incisors are designed for more than grinding veetables and grain.

Meat is the basis of an appropriate and natural and therefore healthy diet, but to round this off a portion of vegetables (whizzed in a blender), cooked rice or offal can be added. This most natural way of feeding your cat or dog is the best guarantee for a healthy, long and content life. Naturally, and this goes without saying, in cases of illness, always follow your veterinarian’s advice.

The BARF diet

The popularity of the BARF diet has meant that many dog and cat owners have been re-introduced to this natural feeding method, which only a few decades ago was the way most dogs and cats were fed before commercially processed foods flooded the market. This requires some degree of education and the eradication of some myths around bones and raw meat.
