[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 331004, member: 1963"] FYI for those who don't know: the BARF diet stands for Bones And Raw Foods, LoL I've fed variations of it for nearly thirty years. These days I order it premade and shipped frozen in patties. If you order it premade be braced for the cost. Premade versions are usually based on lamb or on poultry. Cost aside it is well worth it--I haven't had to have a pet's teeth cleaned in easily twenty years and those have been animals coming into my home. My German Shepherd is 7.5 years old and looks no older than three or so other than the silvering starting on his muzzle. When I was running the cattery, the queens always had enough milk, had easy pregancies and deliveries, and my kittens grew up in a normal way. Maine Coons are BIG cats and the tendency is to feed them for maximum speed of growth. In actuality, both with large breed dogs and cats, it is bad for the younglings to be overfed--it damages their bones and joints. In fact, in most cases, kittens and puppies do not need special "baby" foods--they are actually TOO rich for them. For example, Hip Dysplaysia is very often a developmental disorder caused in large part by incorrect feeding [/QUOTE]
