Everything you need to know about the BARF diet: benefits, menu, and supplements
Are you also one of those who has Instagram 📲 full of pet food much more appetizing than the vegetables you ate last night? We can’t stop seeing plates with all kinds of foods: turkey, sardines, eggs, pumpkins, raspberries… It makes our mouths water! 🤤
This is because processed kibble is giving way to a new form of natural feeding: the well-known BARF diet. 🥗 These initials indicate that it is a Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, and as such, it consists of feeding our furry friends with additive-free foods. Since they are not cooked, they retain all their properties and nutrients.
This diet is inspired by wolves, 🐺 the direct ancestors of dogs. Dr. Billinghurst, who invented it, thought about the way these fierce animals eat and decided to replicate it: with raw, natural 🌱 ingredients and without preservatives or colorants.

- 💪🏼 More energy: raw meat and natural fats provide strength and vitality to dogs and cats. Additionally, their properties also help prevent diseases such as arthritis and strengthen joints.
- 💦 Better hydration: feeding on natural meat and moist foods means our furry friends need to drink less water and stay more hydrated.
- 🦷 Dental health: chewing meaty bones helps minimize the accumulation of bacteria during the intake of other foods. Therefore, this activity helps maintain healthier and cleaner teeth.
- 🧬 Intestinal health: natural feeding is much easier to digest, so adopting a BARF diet improves and regulates stool consistency.
- ✨ Dermatological health: products containing fish oil such as sardines, or pork and chicken livers promote shinier and higher quality skin.
It is also true that just as humans always eat the same thing, our furry friends will end up feeding on the same variety of meats, fish, and vegetables. 🐾 What to do in these cases? The best option is to add some supplements that either complement the diet or provide an extra boost when the animal’s health requires it.
