hi, the barf alterative as it is called has been around a long time, before dried complete food there was nothing else,, most pet dogs lived on our left overs after a meal, i feed all my wolfdogs and my wolf on raw meat, eggs vegetables and animal carcases, i never suplement with vitamins, all they get is a salt lick and in the summer some sulpher blocks in there water buckets, my dogs are all fit and healthy, complete food is a product produced for easy no mess quick feeding, is it good for your dogs, my personal oppinion well they will survive on it,, barf is not an alternative it is the best food for your dogs, and has been arund a long time, complete food is like our fast food you never really know whats in it and if a colour of additive gets banned ,they just change the name and put it in anyway,, i thought most wolfdog owners feed on raw meat ? regards paul uk

I don´t think so, but I do

@ Anthony
- concerning pellets etc. I´m always sceptic
- really expensive (does not automatically mean "good")
- your dog has to drink very much (and she does not)

I don't know if it's the case, but what if the pellets would reach the same composition as a BARF ? Is it something unreachable ? It seems the cold pressure and max 48°C heat should not destroy what's detroyed in the classical pellets.

I make the experience to only feed with raw meat and bones by one month for see the differences comparing with a dog feed with super-premium dry food, so, the difference and improvement of the dog was really impressive for who eat the barf.
In one month test, my dog stop fat and start gain only in muscular mass, high quality of coat, clean tooths without bad mouth smeel was the most visible things.

maybe, but: a stomach is a stomach - what´s inside the pellets you never know. Do you remember the story about oil residues in the pellets some years ago?
