                                First proposed by veterinarian Ian Billinghurst in 1993, the BARF diet was initially developed for sled dogs and racing greyhounds, and is now gaining widespread popularity among pet owners. A BARF diet focuses on feeding domestic dogs a raw food plan, consisting of raw meat, bones, and vegetables, aiming to mimic the ancestral diet of wild canids.
