m looking into getting a Great Dane (Still), and one of the more consistant comments ive heard is that the BARF diet can add several years to their life, which for a great dane can mean additional 20-50% additional life span, which is pretty cool!
I am not saying they are lying, but as Blue pointed out even referring to human doctors where billions of dollars of research goes a year they all do not even come close to all agreeing on the benefits and drawbacks of different things.
I would guess it is less to do with what is actually being eaten and the kind of person the dog owner is. I would guess most people willing to spend that extra money and time on food are also the same people who walk the dogs regularly and the dogs get plenty of play and exercise.
Like I said though, my dog is the happiest puppy in the world and in perfect health…so I am not going to worry too much. To each is own. If the owner is not happy and does not feel good (especially when relating to the dog) then typically the dog is miserable as well, so whatever makes it all work out I am cool with.
