We\u2019ve all heard a lot about the BARF diet for dogs and cats. But those who truly understand its benefits also know that the following are simply myths about raw feeding. Here are 6 myths about the BARF diet – and why they\u2019re wrong!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 1: A dog will become aggressive if it eats a raw diet.<\/h2>\n

False. A dog\u2019s aggression has nothing to do with its diet. Professional dog trainers confirm that aggression is linked to poor socialization and the owner\u2019s handling, not what the dog eats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 2: A dog will get salmonella from raw chicken.<\/h2>\n

False. Healthy companion animals can handle significant bacterial loads from food. Dogs\u2019 and cats\u2019 bodies are naturally designed to cope with large amounts of familiar and unfamiliar bacteria. Additionally, a certified raw diet produced and stored according to strict safety standards does not pose a salmonella risk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 3: Raw-fed dogs carry other bacteria and infections that can be transmitted.
<\/h2>\n

BARF meals are flash-frozen at -40 \u00b0C. This process neutralizes harmful microbes. They\u2019re then stored at -20 \u00b0C. Combined with high-quality meats and ingredients, this ensures a safe meal with no infection risks for your pet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 4: A raw diet is just meat.<\/h2>\n

The BARF diet is a complete meal rich in nutrients, vitamins, and trace elements. It includes everything needed for a balanced diet. Not only pure protein, but also bones, fruits, vegetables, and superfoods. See our products.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Myth 5: Puppies can\u2019t eat BARF.<\/h2>\n

False. From the moment a puppy is weaned, it can start on a raw diet. The earlier the better, as this avoids preservatives, salt, and artificial colorings found in commercial (dry) foods. 6. Myth 6: Raw bones are dangerous for dogs. In reality, raw bones are essential for a dog\u2019s health. They contain calcium, phosphorus, chondroitin, and glucosamine \u2014 all beneficial for oral health, hips, and joints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
