Best Raw Dog Food

The following information is for education only and is not meant to diagnose, prescribe, or treat illness.

It's difficult to pin down what the best raw dog food available is because there are so many new raw dog food brands popping up which makes it hard to keep track. One method of determining the most popular is to look at the top selling products from a very large, very popular marketplace. Below are the top choices we have come up with based on our own findings, coupled with top selling products... taking into account refunds as well.

First, let's talk about the elusive BARF diet for dogs. BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. Bones And Raw Food diet for dogs has also been used to define BARF.

The BARF diet is essentially about feeding pets (dogs and cats) a diet that is closer to their evolutionary diet. An important note about the BARF diet is that it is designed to mimic and not duplicate natural raw dog food. In other words, BARF feeders aren't to take their dogs hunting each day, it is suggested that they either make or buy raw dog food. The BARF diet consists of raw meaty bones (like chicken, pig and turkey necks), raw minced fruits and vegetables, and maybe even grains on occasion.
