BARF Meat & RMB List

This is by no means a complete list. When adding a new item feed in small amounts at first to make sure your dog can tolerate it. For example some dogs cannot tolerate beef or chicken and will cause an upset stomach, vomiting and/or diarrhea. These meats and bones should be fed raw and never cooked. NEVER feed cooked bones of any kind to your dog. You will need to judge the bones to see if your dog will be able to eat them ok.
