BARF resources
Okay, ladies and fellas,
I think we need to start a thread that we share some of our favorite BARF resources (info sites, books etc...) for new members who would like to read more about BARF and learn about feeding raw.
So I will start out with two books that I have on my shelf that I recommend for reading:
1. "Give Your Dog a Bone" by Dr. Ian Billinghurst - This book is like the BARF Bible. Has tons of info that you can refer to when you need it.
2. "Natural Nutrition for Dogs and Cats" by Kymythy R. Schultze. Kymythy is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist who specializes in natural nutrition and holistic care for cats and dogs.
Websites:
Dr. Ian Billinghurst's BARFworld website
BARF newcomes FAQ
Jane Johnson's website
Come on ladies, add your fav's to the list for the newbies!

Nancy, I can't add to your list...it is the same as mine except for Lauri's site.
The only thing I would add is equipment related. The freezer was a big thing to me. I would recommend manual defrost for the extended shelf life of the food. I just shopped around for that.
Food sources are unique to where you live. Some people can't get some fresh meats/vegies. I suppose internet resources would be good for that but I don't have any

Susan Johnson also has a really handy book, can't remember the title (maybe its the one that Willow listed) that is inexpensive and has worksheet pages to help you figure out amounts for your dogs.
I will have to look through my old hardcopies of BARF info and see if I can find the title. I don't have it on my shelf, cuz DH threatened my exsistence if I bought any more BARF books

Thanks for starting this, Nancy! What a wealth of information, especially for me since I'm considering switching to BARF for my pups.

Just had to post this picture
This picture came from an article "My Dog Eats BARF!" by Jennifer Hubbartt. I tried to find a link to her article to post but it appears that sometime in the past two years, she has shut down her site
But fortunately, I have her article on my computer still and had to share this photo. What a happy pupper! This is the article that pushed me toward BARFing.
this has been a good topic, Nancy. Thanks for starting it! I think I'm going to add that book to my collection.

The SoCal group is even sending a "transport" up here to the SF Bay Area and Sacramento now, just getting started networking with our coops up here... They get awesome prices! I've also heard of a group called the "Disney Barfers" in Orange County, LOL!

Our coop deals directly with a slaughterer in mid-CA who delivers to different parts of CA every month or so... he gets mostly grass-fed meats, raises ostrich and emu and sells the trim, organs and bones from them to. Quite a variety out there!

thanks for posting that, Redman! I didn't know the co-op existed...I am definitely going to check that out some more.

Wow! You read my mind! I was just coming here to start a topic just like this. My MIL is thinking about BARFing her Great Danes. I told her I would help research.
Thanks so much!
