James D. - Houston TX:  "Pet allergies!  That is what my vet said every time he saw my dog Buster (golden retriever)... My dog was constantly scratching and licking.  I finally took it upon myself to find the real source of his ailments, not to mention the constant trips to my vet and one day I totaled up the vet bills.  Ouch.  Research on the internet introduced me to the concept of feeding raw & from there I found BARF.  BARF has helped Buster stop all of the scratching and licking!  I can't believe it was just as simple as changing the food!  Thank you so much!"

B. Johnson - Seattle WA:  "I just wanted to tell you how thrilled I am with your raw diet.  My beautiful lab, Fetch, has been eating your raw food since he was a puppy.  Fetch is now 7 and he has never had to go to the vet for any type of problem such as sickness, skin problem, or ear problem.  Whenever I take him for this wellness check the doctor is amazed at how wonderful he looks and especially at how clean his teeth are-- the doctor will always ask how many times a week I brush his teeth because they are so clean.  (I am a little embarrassed to say but I have never brushed his teeth!)  I attribute this to the bones in the raw meat as well as feeding him raw meaty bones.  Thank you, Barfworld, for helping Fetch to live a happy and very healthy life.  I would never feed Fetch anything else.  I am a true believer!"

Cheryl B. - Woodlands TX:  "I really like the book Feed Your Dog A Bone.  It has been a great resource to helping me understand dog nutrition, do's and don'ts.  For example, I never knew I could feed my dog a raw bone, or piece of meat, or even a raw egg has tons of nutrition!  Who knew?  I reference it quite a lot as I have a new pup and I am starting him on raw.  Thank you for the recommendation!"

J.K. - Chicago IL:  "Many thanks, I am new to the computer eeze, as if you couldn't tell!  Our dog is about 4 years old, we have been his owners for approximately 3 months.  He came to us via the Chicago canine rescue.  He was rescued from anti-cruelty and he was about to be euthanized because he had unstoppable bloody diarrhea... The caregiver was able to stop the diarrhea and have him gain some weight.  I was familiar with raw diet having just put down a 14 and a half year old German Sheppard who lived to this ripe old age after going on raw food after stomach difficulties at age 11.  So we put our pooch on BARF.  He is up to 78lbs...thanks for your fine product, I tell every dog owner I meet about it."

Betty R. - Beaumont TX:  "I can't believe I have been feeding my dog regular, dry dog food for all of these years.... I never knew!  She is so much happier & healthier since I switched-- I will never go back!  Plus it is really easy to feed & easy to order from you.  I am so glad I found your products!  I thank you & Mini thanks you too!"

Tommy R. - Houston TX:  "I like your website -- it is very easy to use & the BARF products are awesome!  So glad to know I can order any time I want & you ship it to me!  Makes it really easy to feed raw!  I will be a customer forever!"

Stephanie L. - Houston TX:  "What does the kelp supplement do & it does my dog need kelp?  I am feeding BARF."  Response from The Dog BOwl:   "Great question!  Kelp, according to Dr. Billinghurst, 'is a biologically appropriate source of iodine and over 600 trace minerals.  Being a "sea vegetable", kelp also contains other valuable nutrients including 21 amino acids and other health promoting phyto-nutrients.  As a valuable source of trace minerals, kelp promotes normal metabolism in our pets.  Modern processed foods, lacking such minerals (at least in a bio-available form), allow the bodily malfunction, deterioration and ultimately disease.'  Kelp is a rich source of vitamins, particularly the B vitamins and has been used in the treatment of thyroid problems because of its iodine content.  Since many of these necessary ingredients are missing in foods today we recommend supplementing your BARF diet with kelp.  BARF Kelp is 100% organic and contains no preservatives, fillers, color, yeast, dairy or starch.  Kelps promotes a healthy shiny coat and helps to clean the digestive tract."   

Kendra D. - Houston TX:  "I started on BARF for two reasons firstly because I was concerned at the young age my dogs were losing teeth or they required Veterinary attention, and secondly was the death of our beautiful German Shepherd, Zarra, due to anal cancer. When Zarra was sick I consulted Sandra U. an animal natural therapist, as what our Vet was prescribing was no longer helping her. Sandra tried to convince me at that time not to feed her, or any of my dogs the expensive premium food I was then feeding and switch to a raw meat and vegetable diet. I did not listen and although through the remedies she supplied for Zarra she gained an extra 8 months of good quality life, we ultimately had to have her put to sleep in December 1998. In February 1999 I made the switch to BARF and have been feeding it ever since."
