Description
Dr. Ian Billingshurst popularized what is now known as the BARF Diet for dogs. It's a raw food diet that many believe is the species-appropriate diet for dogs to be eating. From our perspective, it's amazing to see what has happened in the world of human food transition into the world of dog food. Cheap, low-quality ingredients in pet food has led to the deterioration of animal health, however, the raw food diet seems to hold a lot of promise. In our conversation with Dr. Ian Billingshurst, we discussed his approach to uncovering the raw diet, why he believes a species-appropriate diet it the only diet to follow, and practical advice for pet owners. If you want to learn more about pet nutrition from a revolutionary, this episode is for you. Enjoy!If you want a raw dog food provider, check out We Feed Raw (we have a promo code below).
