Does the pet food recall make you want to BARF?

I’m sure I’m about the one-millionth person to use that line (unless others have better taste).  However, I wanted to use this opportunity to put in a plug for the book, Raw Dog Food: Make it Easy for You and Your Dog.  The book is by Carina Beth MacDonald, a frequent commentor here, and author of her own great blog, Dog Muse.  Carina’s book is a great basic introduction to the BARF concept - easy to understand, and easy to implement.  She’ll tell you about the materials you’ll need (like a meat grinder), the types of things you’ll feed in a raw diet, and help you gradually change the way you feed your dogs.  It’s not a preachy book, and it was one of my favourites on the subject of raw food.  Because of this book I started adding some raw food treats into my dogs’ diets, things like chicken necks, raw green tripe, etc., and the dogs absolutely loved it.  I slacked off in my BARF-supplementing because the meat was so hard to get (nary a butchershop in town), but there’s a new grocery store near us so I’ll give them a try. 

Okay, no more BARF jokes, no more pet food recall talk… right now, I’m finally going to get some sleep.

  1. I tried Yoshi on BARF once she was off kitten food and she hated it.  Hardly ate it and it ain’t cheap to waste like that.  I know animals generally eat less on BARF but Yoshi outright walked away from her dish.  She certainly doesn’t do that now.
