Supplements With BARF diet

Please can you give me some advice on what supplements i should be using with the Barf Diet.
I am already using some but someone said i should be using others.
Apple cider vingar what is this for and how often should i use it please?
Also acidophilis how often should i be using this too ?

I don`t give any supplements. I tried adding veggies but the dogs refused to eat them.
They do have cottage cheese or sardines in with their meat or fish sometimes, but that`s it. I feed a varied diet (mince, organs, chunks of meat, bones, fish fillets).
What`s the vinegar for?

The apple cider vingar is good for joints,ph balance and arthrititis.
Just been reading up they say give one teaspoon a day.

Ours get veg (which they LOVE) vitamin E capsule, evening primrose capsules and recently we started adding SA37 powder to their tripe. we had tried this before but they refused to eat we thought we would try again and they all eat with It added.. no problem.


I was advised once to add apple cider vingar to our dogs water bowls, to help with tear staining.. It didnt work. But swapping straight to raw did.

How does vinegar help arthritis? Does it work?

I dont know if it works it was what came up when i googled it

I dont give any supplements, sometimes a bit of veg and egg shells, but I feed a very varied mixture of meats minced and tripe most nights and chicken carcases or lamb bones in the morning.

our just get salmon oil for their vital omegas.. They don't eat too much fish you see either, since one of my dogs has gone off fish

Some people feed raw, veggies and supplements and their dogs do great on it.

Some people feed raw and veggies without the supplements and their dogs do great on it.

Some people feed raw and don't complicate things with veggies and supplements and their dogs do great on it.



Personally I'm in the last group. Approx 80%meat, 10%bone, 10%organ, though that's just a rough guide. I do give my dogs fish oil since intensively reared meat lacks it; and they don't like eating oily fish to help. I take fish oil myself for the same reasons.

No other supplements should be needed, unless your dog has a specific problem that you feel would benifit for what ever reason.

If you are giving Apple Cider Vinegar get the unpasturised stuff from the health food shop, not the stuff the supermarket sells.

I give mine salmon oil on alternate days and 1-2 vitamin E cap/s weekly. I also give her yoghurt before meals and add raw veg to her meals. She gets fruits like berries too.
