The Stabyhoun is an active dog that loves water

What you feed your dog has a huge impact on its health, energy and well-being. For Stabyhouns we highly recommend feeding a diet of raw meat, bones and vegetables (BARF). Don’t worry if mincing and mixing isn’t quite your thing. These days, a BARF diet is as easy to buy and feed as any other wet dog food.

Dogs and their wolf ancestors have been eating raw food for over a million years. It is what their teeth and digestive systems are designed for and they thrive on it. Not only will your dog be happier and healthier; he will also look amazing, keep fit, have better breath teeth and gums. Other benefits include better digestion, strong heart and more energy and vitality.

Dogs eating a raw food diet are sometimes reported to to suffer fewer illnesses and diseases. Indeed, if your dog has any health issues now, it is possible that a switch to a raw food diet might help.

Suppliers of raw dog food in the UK include NutrimentBasil’sHoney’s Real Dog FoodManifold Valley MeatsWolf Tucker and Natural Instinct.
