PREY or BARF Diet: Raw Paws Pet Food Works for Both

Raw Paws Pet Food PREY Diet easily converts for those raw feeders who prefer to feed a BARF Diet.

I'm getting to old to catch PREY so I eat BARF.  BOL Get it?  No...then read on, my friend.

My raw diet is considered a BARF Diet, or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food Diet, which means that in addition to raw meat, offal (organs) and bone I get some fat, fruits and vegetables.  Other dogs may be fed a PREY Diet which means they only eat raw meat, offal and bone.  Despite there being some disagreement among the two groups as to which is the best or preferred diet, I believe both are very healthy and owners should be able to choose whatever diet they wish to feed their dogs.

Many of the prepared raw diets, like the ones I ate when I first transitioned to raw and that I do still eat, are BARF Diets.  You just have to read the ingredient list to see they add ingredients like organic coconut oil (or maybe an Omega fish oil), some organic berries and organic vegetables which provide additional vitamins, minerals etc.

My new food from Raw Paws Pet Food can be either a PREY Diet or a BARF Diet.  How can it be both?  It's simple, Raw Paws comes in several PREY Diet models - Ground (100% meat), Combo Blend (90% meat and 10% bone) and Complete (80% meat, 10% bone and 10% offal).  By purchasing the Complete Mix and adding some home-prepared or dehydrated fruit/vegetable mix, a little organic coconut oil (or your favorite Omega fish oil) and/or other supplements of your choice, you can make your own BARF Diet.

For example, take my Complete Ground Goat. It comes in a 5-lb package with 80% ground goat meat, 10% bone and 10% organ meats.  Ma says to get the correct mix of meat/bone/offal is the more difficult part of raw feeding so we are glad that Raw Paws does this part for us!  Sometimes, Ma just portions out my meal and I eat it plain-Jane-as-is right out of the package.  (This is eating PREY Diet.)

Other times, Ma may add in some organic coconut oil or Omega-3 fish oil and a little of our preferred dehydrated vegetable mix which I enjoy.  And on special occasions, Ma may give me a little bit of her leftover vegetables from her dinner, like when she added in some baked sweet potato a few days ago.  (This is eating BARF Diet.)

Pretty simple, right?  With Raw Paws Pet Food doing the more difficult part - providing the correct ratios of meat/offal/bone - they make both PREY and BARF Diets accessible for everyone who feeds raw.  And that is their mission - to make raw feeding accessible, practical and affordable for pet owners across the United States.

Are you on a raw diet? Do you eat PREY or BARF?

If you were to switch to raw, which would you choose - PREY or BARF?
