Whatever you feed, look at your dog's poos and teeth. They are usually a good indication.
Most * Kibble fed dogs have peridontal disease (Smelly dog breath) which is very painful for the dog.
Most * kibble fed dogs have soft or runny poos, which is very bad for the dog as it indicates it has passed through the digestive system too quickly therefore not being able to absorb any nutrients efficiently.
I never saw the benefits of BARF to begin with, then my supply disappeared, and I was forced to feed kibble for 2 weeks. I did notice a slight difference, mainly in the fact that they didn't seem satisfied and were always hungry.
When I returned to BARF I noticed a HUGE difference in their behaviour, coat condition, poos, etc and it made up my mind for me, that it was better for them.
As for dogs being able to eat raw after all these years, a dogs teeth are designed to grind bone, not to nibble kibble .....lol
