What are the origins of a B.A.R.F diet?

Remember that the dog is a direct descendant of the wolf. Trained and socialized for centuries, it evolved into what we know today as dogs or companion animals.

Starting from that base, the veterinarian Ian Billinghurst developed this type of diet, which is basically composed of raw meaty bones, lean meat, organs and fruits and vegetables among others. His philosophy says that: ā€œBARF is about feeding the dogs properly; his goal is to maximize the health, longevity, and reproductive capacity of dogs and, in doing so, minimize the need for veterinary intervention. How do you properly feed a dog? giving them the diet for which they evolved and are designed to eat. Artificial cereal-based diets cause myriad health problems. They are not what your dog was programmed to eat during its long evolutionary process. “
