BARF Shops list

BARF refers to Biologically Appropriate Raw food or Bones and Raw Food. It is where owners have decided to feed their Schnauzer a natural diet of raw meat, bones, and organs. If you are considering this for your Schnauzer, you will find lots of handy tips here.

Thanks for that Sharon. Some of the prices look good.
Some are more what I pay though, as I get lamb bones free and the chicken frames [the once he orders in] from my butchers only cost 77p/kg. The once he has left, I get free.
I also get beef bones free.
I did a bit of calculating and I'm actually going to Barf 3 Giants with the same money I would kibble feed 2. Not bad (cool)

Hi Beth

I can feed Chester for 2 months from Raw to Go and it only costs £26 (including £9 delivery)

Look them up all the food is already prepared to the 80/10/10 ratio , you just need to weigh it out

Hope you are well (bigthumbs)

I use them and have been for a couple of months now

Cant fault them really, they deliver when they say they are going to deliver and the prices are cheap. My last order was for 2 months worth of food and only came to £26 incl. £9 delivery!

Most important of all Chester absolutley loves it! He comes running (dogrun) for his breakfast & dinner

So it still costs more then using a 15 + KG bag of good quality food, which is something you have to think about when on a budget.

I suppose it depends on what food you use, but it works out 43p per day for me, also depends on the size of schnauzer!!!:)

I *wish wish wish* I had more freezer space!

This looks such good value, but Claude's food space is restricted to the freezer compartment in the fridge...

bah!

We recently moved into a house with a very small freezer, but i haven't found barf feeding too much harder, yes being able to buy a chest freezer full can be cheaper but it can be done with a small space, it just takes a little imagination and regular stops at the reduced section of the meat aisle in the evening for cheap tasty treats (fortunately there is a Tesco's on my way home!). I have never had a huge freezer and it does take a bit of planning, and restraint not to go mad and buy loads when you find a bargain, but it adds a bit of fun hunting out the bargains. I did like the Raw To Go site, and being in Abergaveny means they should deliver to us, if so I am giving real thought to buying their selection pack with some bones to see what the girls, and my freezer space, thinks to it.

I have just ordered from this place - it is chicken only but I have been struggling to get chicken necks and this seemed a good price £23 for 300 necks (15kg).

They also do a combo platter for anyone wishing to try a variety of chicken such as mince, wings, necks and carcasses.

Fantastic service so far - I ordered at 1.45pm today and had an e-mail just after 2pm to say my goods were just being despatched and I should get them tomorrow :-bd

For years now I have used https://www.dogfoods4u.co.uk buying various BARF complete formulas, what I like about this retailer is the ability to select a box from various different ranges. I often use the Just range to allow me to make a DIY meal that is complete from home
