BARF product rumor…..

From The Dog Bowl to BARF: “Dear BARF, at The Dog Bowl we feed our pets & highly recommend the BARF Diet to our customers. This statement from one of our clients & we found this to be incorrect comparison of products, as you know we do offer the Nature’s Variety as well. From our client: ‘The frozen raw natures variety is one of the only truest non artificial food ever, I used to feed BARF raw but found that it has two artificial ingredients that are actually bleachers as well as not being complete once I studied it more so now nature’s variety is my favorite…‘ There is an unfounded rumor regarding the BARF diet that it has “synthetic vitamins” and bleach in the BARF diet foods…. We have NEVER heard such a thing and have been feeding BARF for years! The Dog Bowl’s question to you, BARF: How can we educate consumers regarding these unfounded rumors? And does BARF contain any of these items?”

Official statement from BARF to The Dog Bowl: This is indeed a rumor! “What ingredients is the customer referring to? The only thing that I can think that the claims might refer to is the Vitamin E, Manganous Oxide and Zinc Oxide. These are added to the diet in very small amounts. It is not our desire to have these ingredients added to the diet but it is what AAFCO is dictating to us and making us put this in our diets in order to comply with their requirements for a complete and balanced food. If Natures Variety IS NOT REQUIRED TO ADD THIS TO THEIR DIET THEN THEY ARE NOT COMPLYING TO THE REQUIREMENTS AS LAID OUT BY AAFCO. We are being proactive and complying to their request in staying legal and able to defend our claim of being complete and balanced.” Regards, BARF World, inc.
