The diet samples shown here are demonstrations of the versatility of a raw natural (BARF) diet - there are as many different diets out there as there are people feeding them and none are "wrong."

"All breakfasts - every day - is chicken wings.
On the calendar I space out roughly 5 veggie meals, 10 raw, meaty bone meals, 4 offal meals, 4 meat meals, and the rest are filled in with "mix" which is basically whatever I can find - sometimes just some eggs and cottage cheese! My raw meaty bone meals are just that; usually chicken necks but some times pork neckbones. The veggie meals are the ground up veg mix I have prepared. I grind up (in a blender) carrots, broccoli, spinach greens, collard greens, a couple of cans of pumpkin, green beans, etc. So a veg meal would be a base of this veg mix plus an egg, some yogurt, maybe a can of salmon or mackerel. Dogs do not have the enzyme to break down cellulose walls so if you fed raw veggies, you need to use a blender, juicer or food processor to really grind them down to mush. The offal meals are usually chicken gizzards and hearts, sometimes beef liver, sometimes chicken liver--also with an egg and yogurt. The meat meal is ground meat--either turkey or beef with an egg and yogurt. Supplements - My dogs get nothing on any meal with bones. On the rest of the meals they will get two supplements--some times a softgel of cod liver oil and 1000 mg of Vit C, sometimes a teaspoon of kelp powder and vitamin E, sometimes it is a multi B vitamin and vitamin E, sometimes a capful of raw organic apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of flaxseed oil. I have resolved to never give all supplements in one meal and to never give any one supplement more than three times a week."

"Everybody gets raw meaty chicken or turkey in the am, usually wings & backs, with a few necks thrown in. I have fed rabbit, as well as lamb riblets.

In the evening, they get their veggie/meat patty mix, along with Prozyme, kelp, ground flax seed, a ground nut mixture, ester c, as well as a spoonful of what I call chicken liver *mush*. Two or three times a week they get some low fat yogurt with live lactobacillis."

"What I feed... Breakfast on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is a mix of veggies, eggs, yogurt, garlic, and whatever supps I decide to throw in. Each gets at least one egg - depends on the sizes in the carton since I get free range eggs, some are huge and some are small. I smash the entire egg into the dish, shell and all. They do not have any problem eating or digesting the shells. Each gets half a clove of garlic and a heaping tablespoon of yogurt. Supplements include flax oil, kelp, vit C, cod liver oil, etc. Not all on the same day. And some days I'm in a hurry due to my work schedule so all they get is the veggies with nothing else.

Dinner is raw meaty bones nearly daily. Depending on what I have for the bones, I may or may not serve an offal meal or a plain meat meal that week. Meatier bones means skip the plain meat. Lots of backs with some organs still there (usually there's bits of liver and such still on them) means skip the organ meats. Almost all wings, necks, (chicken, turkey, pork or beef) means I do feed an organ and hamburger meal.

It's all so easy."

"We feed twice a day and for five or six days out of seven we give a grain/dried herb/dried fruit meal, that has been soaked overnight, with either yoghurt, cottage cheese, raw egg (with shell) or buttermilk.

Say every second breakfast we add Flax Seed Oil and/or Apple Cidar Vinegar/Honey and these are basically the only 'supplements' we use.

The evening meal is raw, meaty bones - usually either chicken necks or chicken backs - for roughly five out of seven nights. Once a fortnight they will have a large vegetable pulp/juice meal, with some other bits and pieces added - eg: avocado, sardines, raw egg etc. A couple of times a week they get smaller portions of vegetable pulp/juice, mixed with a meat meal which would be beef chunks or a mutton mince or offal."
