The basic BARF diet is made up of raw meaty bones and rissoles. The raw meaty bones should make up about 80% of the whole diet. Chicken necks and wings are the best for pups as they are small enough to chew up completely. Also get some red meat bones but try to avoid T-bones and lamb chop bones as they can splinter even when raw. Brisket bones are great. It is important that your pup eats the entire bone, not just the meat off the bones. Also give him large bones to chew on. These are great for teeth cleaning and exercise. They also relieve boredom for hours on end and may save your backyard and gardens.

The rest of the diet should be made up with the rissoles. The following instructions will make about 1.5kg of rissoles. This can then be frozen in meal size portions.

In a blender or food processor make about 500 grams of crushed raw fruit and vegetables. The vegetables can include pumpkin, spinach, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, corn, squash, mushrooms, peas, beans, etc. Just about any vegetable you can find. The fruit can include apples, bananas, grapes, oranges (peeled), tomatoes, kiwi fruit, etc. Again, anything in season. It is very important that the fruit and vegetables are processed into a fine pulp so the dog can't pick them out. It is also important that all the ingredients are raw, as many of the nutrients are lost when cooked.

Combine 1/2 kg of processed row fruit and veggie's and 2 kg of raw lean mince. To this mix add the following: 5 whole raw eggs

3 table spoons of flax seed oil or Cod Liver Oil

3 tablespoons of brewers yeast

3 tablespoons of kelp powder

3 tablespoons of vitamin C powder

half a tub of plain yogurt or cottage cheese

If the rissoles are too much effort feed your dog on 90% raw chicken carcasses & necks. They have so many vitamins, minerals, oils, etc that they nearly make a balanced diet on their own. Add some raw red meaty bones like lamb brisket and household scraps (excluding any cooked bones) and you will have a healthy, happy dog.

The only other food he needs is some offal once a week, liver, kidney, whatever you can get, this is very important for Vitamin A, which is essential to a strong immune system along with the supplements added to the rissole mix.
