Getting a new pup for x-mas,,, a all liver GSP. Has anyone tried the BARF diet for dogs? I like the idea of NO grains in his diet.
When my Golden was suffering bad allergies, I did a raw meat/bones diet with him for a few weeks and it improved his health pretty quickly. It makes sense, but can be pretty pricey to keep up.
(note: Raw bones are okay, but cooked bones are never okay)

Great looking Pooch! Take a look at "Taste of the Wild" dog food.
I am using it with my cats and plan to switch my dogs over as soon as possible.

Adorable pup man,
I run Purina Pro Plan in my dog and have no complaints. The main ingredients are Meat and Rice which are good enough for me.
I also am around Lab trainers and they feed there dogs the same. The lab in the picture below retreived no less than 400 ducks/geese in Canada this year in a weeks time. He was so tired after a day of hunting we laced his food with raw eggs to get him to eat.
Not saying Pro Plan is the best, but a Tractor supply is close to my house.

No grains is probably not a good idea, majority of foods contain grain in them. Dogs need the nutrients they provide as well, they aren't just filler (in good foods).

Yes it was a lot of shooting. I burned up 2 and a half cases of 3.5 inch BB that week. SBE II never let me down.
