kat, after perusing that site, I'm still not convinced that I would entrust my dogs to BARF over other commercially available foods. I wouldn't knowingly take chances on exposing them to salmonella and other stuff found in uncooked slaughter house meat that had been shipped. Also, if I recall correctly, prior to commercial dog food, when I was young, dogs didn't typically live to great old ages. The only exception I recall was an Australian dog that once made the Guiness Book of Records for longevity, fed primarily on table scraps.
