Important nutrition
Xenya has always loved to eat. Ever since we got her, we have been giving her BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods) food. Different kinds of raw meat, neighbors’ eggs, cream cheese, vegetables (raw or steamed), quality cold-pressed oils (flax, hemp, pumpkin, olive, sunflower), various nuts and seeds, that we grind in bulk once in a while and store in a big jar in the refrigerator. She also likes fruit – pears, bananas, watermelon, oranges, strawberries, cherries, peaches, and berries. We always try to give her only food that hasn’t been industrially processed.
We buy fresh beef from a verified farm, from which we also buy the meat we eat
It comes from healthy animals, that can move freely on fresh air. She loves chewing big joint bones, from which she has beautiful white teeth. She eats all kinds of bones with meat, except the dangerous ones, we don’t give her those. Raw meat cleans teeth, typical kibble dog food makes them dirty. We only buy other kinds of meat (turkey, duck, goose, pork, lamb, sometimes venison) from Slovak and Czech farms. Xenya doesn’t like rabbit meat at all. We mostly buy fish from a friend, a fisher. We buy salmon and ground cod from the BARF e-shop. She loves natural goat milk. I often add some green stalks to her food, sometimes even steamed nettle from our tea.
The time and money you invest in BARF will return to you in the form of a happy and healthy dog.
Her teeth are beautifully white and without any dental plaque. We don’t brush or clean her teeth, her food does 🙂
