| kekaufman,
Angelbunny answered your question about what BARF is and I too suggest you search the archives, there's lots of helpful info about the diet. You can also do a search on the web. Just type in Barf diet and you'll get info that way as well:D. I have a 12 month old male and he's been eating Barf since day one. At first I started out with some kibble and some raw then not too long after switched completely to BARF and I am so very glad I did :D. I never looked back and he's never been happier :D. His teeth are great, his coat, energy level is unbelievable, overall he looks fantastic! The best part about this diet is to watch your dog litterally dance around the kitchen patiently waiting for you to put their food down, that sparkle in their eyes and that little stub going a mile a minute is just such a pleasure, it's great to see how excited they are to want to eat and he licks that bowl clean and I mean clean. So do your homework, do lots of reading and we'll be here to help you through it if you decide to switch, I would though get off your present kibble and as for her shiny coat, it may be the eggs and olive oil you give her not necessarily the kibble ;). Oh and their stools, usually no more then 2 aday and they turn white then to powder. Rarely do they have diarrhea and if they do it goes away as fast as it came. I hope you do make the switch, overall I do believe they are healthier :D IOM their are more pros then cons! Best of luck to you and let us know what you decide in the end.
Oh and in answer to your other question, will it help Dixie, absolutely and you'll never see her pick at her food again, that's for sure.
