Natural Diets

Not all commerical dog foods are created equal. The links below are provided as a resource on feeding your dog the best diet. Deciding on the right diet for your dog is a very personal choice. Raw Diet (BARF): The raw diet is embraced by many as a better way to feed dogs, but there are others, including many vets, who have a differing point of view. We offer the information below as resources only. We feel that deciding what to feed your pet is a very personal decision.

There is a Yahoo mail group called raw4bullies where those who are interested in feeding their bull terrier a raw diet may find support and assistance from others. You can join the list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/raw4bullies/.

Notes, Warnings, etc.:

  • NEVER give cooked bones. These can splinter and cause serious problems.
  • Onions, leeks and chocolate can be toxic to dogs. Large amounts of grapes and/or raisin may cause kidney damage in dogs.
  • It is said that Apple Cider Vinegar in a dog's water may help reduce the effects of browning or pinking of the fur caused when a dog licks their paws / fur, by changing the chemical makeup of the saliva.
