Just friendly banter...

Well, i think that it is really troublesome preparing BARF. Also, i found out also that there is risk of bacterial contamination in raw meat diets, especially E. coli and Salmonella which can infect other animals and people, so even though the majority of dogs may not exhibit symptoms, they can none-the-less pass the contamination to other animals or people. Serious outbreaks of these diseases can kill or debilitate children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. Another problem is that the bones may splinter and cause damage to the dog.

But i must agree that there have been reported cases of dogs with skin problems and low energy etc having great improvements in their conditions after going on BARF. On the hind side, there are many dogs that are doing very well on super premium commercial brands too.
