Description
In recent years, raw foods have become increasingly popular in the world, for the dog's owners. Contradictory data on this type of diet have been reported in the literature. Some authors note that the use of raw foods has a beneficial effect on the health of the dog, while others point to the food safety and health risks of both the dog and the owner. The purpose of the current survey is to analyze current data on the advantages and disadvantages of raw foods, known as “Bones and Raw Food” or “Biologically Appropriate Raw Food” (BARF)/„Raw meat-based diets” (RMBDs).
