Is there any offal in your BARF recipes?

Our Canine Country BARF recipes do not contain offal. Whilst many BARF diets typically do include 5-10% of offal in their products based on standard raw feeding practices, there is a good reason Canine Country chooses not to include offal in their recipes. Firstly, many dogs do not like the smell or texture of offal in raw form, which can sometimes deter them from eating the food.

Secondly, due to genetic or inherited issues, many breeds cannot tolerate the higher purine content that offal offers. These breeds include Dalmatians, Beagles, Bulldogs, Basset Hounds, Cocker Spaniels, Bichon Frise, Miniature Schnauzers, Lhasa Apso, Miniature Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers and Dachshunds (amongst others). 

We offer Kangaroo & Goat offal products separately in Portion Packs. These protein sources offer the highest quality offal with the slightest chance of allergic protein reaction.

We do this to give all pet owners flexibility and full control of their pet’s offal intake based on the pet’s individual tastes and tolerance.

What does BARF stand for?

BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food or Bones and Raw Feeding. You may also hear it referred to as “RMBD” which stands for Raw Meats based diet.

How do I get started feeding BARF?

The first thing you should do is some reading/research on feeding a raw diet. There are quite a few books published and plenty of online resources. While it seems daunting and the information you find may be overwhelming once you take the leap you will find it very easy to prepare and feed.

Below is a simple guide on how you should transition your pet to BARF food if you have been feeding them another form of food like kibble or cooked food. By following this simple method it will help ensure you pet adapts best to their new diet and avoid any stomach issues.

How much BARF food do I feed?

The recommended feeding rate is between 2-3% of the ideal adult body weight. Whilst this is a guide only, some dogs may need their intake reduced if they are gaining weight, and others may need it increased due to energy levels, metabolism etc. Dogs like humans are all different, one dog may be able to eat a lot of food and not put on weight, whereas another may gain too much weight on the same amount of food.

Here is a general feeding guide for BARF food to help guide what is the best ratio to start feeding your pet.
