B.A.R.F.

Years ago Dexter used to get ear infections. Being a keen Naturopathic student at the time who was not keen on giving antibiotics I chose to find a holistic Vet. She gave him a homeopathic remedy (pulsatilla!) and introduced us to the Bones And Raw Food diet also known as B.A.R.F.

This diet is super easy and so cost effective. We get a case of chicken necks and backs for 15$--that lasts a month--what a steal!! We (by we, I mean Ewan) simply throws a carcass in the backyard and done he eats it up!! He also gets grated fruits and vegetables, some flax oil and acidophilus.
He did very well on the diet and never seemed to have any ear problems and was quite healthy in general. Recently things are busy (with 2 kids and working!) that we put him on some dry food. Since this introduction in the fall his paw has been infected twice and his ears kind of guncky. His energy level is lower and his coat not as shiny. We quickly switched him back to the raw chicken necks and backs and he seems to be quite happy!!

mmmm.....
