Like only the best diet for dogs EVER! A raw food diet is designed to mimic the diet of the Grey Wolf, our dogs’ ancestor. Raw dog food consists of muscle meat, organ meat, and raw bones. Although there are several models of raw feeding to follow, the most well-known are the Prey Model and the BARF (biologically appropriate raw food) Model of raw food. The biggest difference I found between BARF and Prey model, is the additional ingredients in BARF: vegetables, fruits, and supplements. The Prey Model diet is fed using the following ratio: 80% muscle meat, 10% organ meat (1/2 is liver), and 10% bone. To feed BARF Model, some people adjust the ratios to incorporate vegetables while others just add in vegetables. Although raw feeders seem to choose one model over another; many that I know feed a combination of the two. I feed my dogs a model that I call FrankenBARF. Counter Clockwise, Starting from Top: Scout Zoey Sydney Rodrigo Quick Start Guide to Raw Feeding, KeepTheTailWagging.com, Page !5 Kimberly Gauthier KeepTheTailWagging.com Dog Nutrition Blogger FrankenBARF An Unofficial Model of Raw Feeding In April 2013, I transitioned our dogs to a raw diet prepared and delivered by Darwin’s Pet, a local company that ships raw meals across the US for dogs and cats. Their food includes muscle meat, organ meat, bone, vegetables, fruit, and supplements – all ground together in a yummy dose of healthiness. Premade raw is the way to go if you can afford it. With four big dogs, we couldn’t continue feeding them 100% premade and pay our other bills. I joined a local raw food co-op and began making raw dog food at home. Because our dogs did well on the BARF model, I continued to follow the model at home. I immediately came up with one problem – I couldn’t find all the ingredients I needed. The grocery store doesn’t have a large variety of muscle and organ meat. I don’t live near an Asian supermarket (which tends to have more options). And our butcher is expensive. So I began piecing together a BARF-ish diet for our dogs that I call FrankenBARF. FrankenBARF Model • 65% muscle meat (alternated weekly) • 15% raw meaty bones (duck necks, turkey necks) • 10% offal (organ meat), half of which is liver • 10% fruits, veggies, eggs, and/or raw goat milk Quick Start Guide to Raw Feeding, KeepTheTailWagging.com, Page !6 Kimberly Gauthier KeepTheTailWagging.com Dog Nutrition Blogger My model is not a balanced diet on its own and the percentages change all the time. And I add the following to our dogs’ diet: • Green beef tripe and/or ground eggshells for calcium (when I don’t have bone) • Bonnie & Clyde fish oil for Omega 3s; alternating with Camelina Oil • Connectin by In Clover, joint supplement • FullBucket digestive supplement, OptaGest by In Clover prebiotic • Olewo carrots - dehydrated carrots from Germany that work as a natural digestive supplement that also quickly eliminates diarrhea, acts as a natural dewormer, promotes healthy skin and coat, relieves itching, strengthens the immune system, and promotes vitality. (Source: OlewoUSA.com) I feed our dogs premade raw food that is available through our co-op: Steve’s Real Food, K9 Naturals, and Vital Essentials Raw are our favorites. Find a complete list on Page 13. Sounds complicated? I thought so too, at first. When I started making raw dog food at home, I quickly became overwhelmed, because everyone has advice on what you should and shouldn’t feed your dogs. There are plenty of books, YouTube videos, and websites that offer guidance as well. Information overload happened quickly and then a friend advised me to feed my dogs what they need. If you’re asking “what the heck does ‘what they need’ mean?” Keep reading. Quick Start Guide to Raw Feeding, KeepTheTailWagging.com, Page !7 Kimberly Gauthier KeepTheTailWagging.com Dog Nutrition Blogger Quick Start Guide to Raw Feeding, KeepTheTailWagging.com, Page !8 Kimberly Gauthier KeepTheTailWagging.com Dog Nutrition Blogger Feeding Our Dogs What They Need We have four dogs that have different needs, and I adjusted their diets to accommodate those needs. I began paying attention to their poop (yep, gross, but educational) to learn more about our dogs. • When our dogs’ poop is too solid and crumbles as they poop - I add a little more fish oil or coconut oil and cut back on the bone. • When our dogs’ poop is a different color, before I panic, I think back to what they’re eating. Venison and elk leads to slightly darker poop than turkey and duck. • When one of the dogs has loose stool or diarrhea, I review their diet to identify the food or treat that caused the change. From there, I made adjustments to their individual meals – and it worked! The following “Poop Chart” is a slightly modified version of one presented by Barbara Royal DVM CVA at the 2016 Raw Roundup. Poop Color Action White Too much bone, lack of nutrient absorption, old poop Yellow Parasites, bacteria Orange Food coloring, blood tinged Red Blood from large intestines or anal area Brown Typically normal Black Digestive blood - CALL THE VET! Green Gi Hypermotility, bile not fully digested Mucous Secretory/detox response Blue or Aqua Rat poison or toys Grey* The right amount of bile isn’t being produced Quick Start Guide to Raw Feeding, KeepTheTailWagging.com, Page !9 Kimberly Gauthier KeepTheTailWagging.com Dog Nutrition Blogger *Rodrigo experienced this and I learned the meaning from a local dog nutritionist. It cleared up in 12 hours. He’s had a history of digestive issues and allergies and is the reason I switched our dogs to raw feeding.

  • SWITCHING YOUR DOG to a RAW DIET How to Get Started by Diane
    SWITCHING YOUR DOG TO A RAW DIET How To Get Started by Diane M. Schuller {This is a follow-up article to "Canine Paradigm Shift: Dogs on a Raw Diet", November/December 2003, Volume 1 Issue 5 of Kennel Up which covered aspects of why dog guardians feed raw as well as addressing some of the 'concerns' brought forward by those who may be unfamiliar or sceptical.} One of the most reassuring aspects of switching your dog to a raw diet is that you have control of the quality of what your dog eats. For generations, human mothers have taken control over what they feed their children and families; now, dog guardians are doing the same thing for their pets. Family doctors and nutritionists are jumping on the bandwagon encouraging us to eat fewer (or no) processed foods and to include more natural foods. In turn, dog guardians are also looking to nature, at what canines would eat if in the wild. Sure, commercial kibble is convenient but it lacks the natural enzymes, nourishment, and variety required to ensure a strong immune system, efficient energy fuels, and the quality of life that natural food provides. BEFORE YOU START Before getting started, I highly recommend to research by reading at least one (if not more) of the books available by qualified individuals on the topic of feeding a raw diet. The book I recommend the most, because it is easy to follow and understand and provides detailed information for the newcomer to feeding raw, is "Natural Nutrition for Dogs and Cats - The Ultimate Diet" by Kymythy Schultz.

Order Now Blog Book a Consultation Contact Us You are here: About Us > BARF - A Personal Perspective BARF - A Personal Perspective By Ian Billinghurst Being a veterinary surgeon is for me a truly a joyous way to spend my working days. Not that being a vet is always clear sailing. This job can have its dark side, particularly when an “old friend” has to be put to sleep. However, despite such painful episodes, which are of course common to all veterinarians in practice, being a vet provides a fascinating, challenging and altogether satisfying, working environment. It is a profession where there is no limit to the scope for self-improvement. My very favourite thing to do as a veterinary surgeon is actual surgery. For me, there is nothing more satisfying in a professional sense than ‘fixing’ something using the techniques, the art and the science of surgery. The prospect of learning to be a surgeon was for me, a major factor in my desire to become a vet. However, I had no idea that being a vet would bring me into the world of dog food production, or that my life would become so involved with writing, speaking and consulting on companion animal nutrition. I certainly did not set out to be a writer. Indeed writing has not been something, which comes naturally. Writing books was simply a means of letting people know about my discoveries in the field of pet nutrition and health.

  • Raw Meat Based Diets for Pets
    WSAVA Global Nutrition Committee: Raw Meat Based Diets For Pets What are raw meat based foods? • Foods based on meat, bones, and offal (organ meats) that have not been cooked. • These diets tend to be higher in fat, lower in carbohydrates, and can be highly digestible but raw foods (similar to cooked foods) are not all equal! They vary in ingredients, energy content, and nutritional profile. Are raw meat-based foods healthier than dry or canned pet food? • There is no evidence that raw meat-based diets provide health benefits over commercial or balanced homemade cooked diets. • High fat, low fiber diets (raw, but also cooked) may be well tolerated by many pets, but others will show gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhoea, or even pancreatitis. • There is growing evidence that feeding raw meat can be a health risk both for the pet and the owner. It is important for the practitioner to know when their patients are fed raw meat based diets, as nutritionally imbalanced or contaminated diets may lead to health issues or contribute to clinical signs of disease. Risks • Bones are offered to pets for enjoyment and for perceived dental benefits, however, they can result in broken teeth, Raw meat-based diets have a high risk of bacterial intestinal or oesophageal obstruction, and contamination constipation. • Feeding bones does not reduce the risk of • Raw meat can harbour various bacteria, including plaque or tooth loss due to periodontitis. pathogens.

The Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University is indeed fortunate to host the same. India has the distinction of having very large livestock population in the world (512.05 million as per 2012 census). Though India stands first in milk production in the world and there has been quantum increase of 6-7 times in the last four decades, yet low average productivity of our livestock is a cause of concern. It is necessary to strengthen this sector in order to augment agriculture GDP in the country. India is a rich source of domestic animal diversity. Various tools of genetic resource management and exploration of unique sources of renewable energy will definitely help to accomplish the mission of biodynamic animal farming and indigenous livestock resources which is the focus of the National Seminar.
