1. HOW IS BARXX  PACKAGED? Barxx meat diets are sold in 2 pound tube containing 2. CAN YOU LET THE DOG FOOD THAW OUT AND THEN RE-FREEZE IT? Yes, you can thaw and re-freeze the Barxx Tubes, that is not a problem. 3. WHAT IF MY PET WON'T EAT THE The RAW BARXX DIETS? Many pets get used to the same food and are confused by the new type of food. We recommend taking away the food that they are used to and when they get hungry enough, they will get brave enough to try the new raw diet. They won't starve themselves! If they are still put off by it, You may mix the two together and mix to release the scents that they are more familiar with in their canned or pelletized food. This will entice them to try it and when they are used to it, you should no longer have to mix, but wean them off slowly.  4. WHAT IF MY PET GETS LOOSE STOOLS OR VOMITS WHEN THEY EAT THE RAW DIETS? This is a very normal and natural response when changing from one food to another. Many times they will eat it again if their stomach rejects it the first time which is also very normal and natural. Feeding plain yogurt or pro-zymes at least 1/2 hour--1 hour before feeding will definitely reduce the likeliness of vomiting or loose stools. Once their body is used to the raw form, the stomach will create the proper acids and enzymes again on its own. You will not need to continue to feed prozymes and they will not vomit or have loose stools anymore. 5. CAN BARXX BE A CAT FOOD Too? No, Because BARXX Raw Dog food is formulated  to meet Dogs diet needs, but we do have a cat formula too.  Cats only eat meat, so we much adjust the formula to meet there needs too.

F. A.Q.'s & MYTHS ABOUT RAW 1. WHY WILL FEEDING A RAW MEAT DIET HELP MY PET’S HEALTH? Dogs and cats are carnivores, eaters of raw meat. Their systems are designed to extract protein and nutrients from meat in its naturally raw state. Carnivores are unable to break down complex carbohydrates. Dogs and cats have no use for corn, wheat, soy, rice or grain, which is the base ingredient used for most dry and canned foods, even the “healthiest” brands. Feeding dogs and cats carbohydrates that they cannot utilize, frequently leads to health problems. Furthermore, once meat is heated, during the canning or pelletizing process, most of the nutritional quality is lost. 2. IF COMMERCIAL PET FOOD IS SO BAD, HOW CAN MY PET SURVIVE ON IT? Humans could eat fast food everyday for our whole life, and we might survive, but we sure wouldn’t be very healthy! It is the same for pets when feeding a kibble or canned diet, they might survive it, but not without health problems. 3. HOW DO I SWITCH MY PET OVER TO A RAW DIET?  You may add a little Barxx to your pet’s diet each day and slowly build up to an all-Raw diet or you can switch completely “cold turkey” to the raw diet right away. Dogs and cats that are not used to eating raw meat can be given plain yogurt, acidophilus or enzymes to ease the switch in diets. 4. IS THE BRAXX DIET COMPLETE, IS THAT ALL I FEED?  BARXX Diet is complete and balanced and you don’t have to add a thing! We do recommend that you give your dog a bone (raw of course) and also Barxx treats to enhance their diet. 5. HOW MUCH DO I FEED? Feed 1%-2% of your pets’ bodyweight daily (depending upon age and activity level) and as much as 10% for growing puppies. Example, an average 50 lb. dog would eat ½ lb. per day (less if still being fed kibble). An average adult cat eats ¼ lb. each day. 6. CAN I MIX BARXX WITH DRY OR CANNED FOOD? BARXX Raw DOG FOOD digests better without carbohydrates in the stomach. We only recommend it for the adjustment period and there after we do not recommend feeding dry food, but if you do, feed it at a separate meal. 7. CAN I ADD VEGETABLES TO THE DIET? The Braxx raw diets provide 100% of the daily nutrition for dogs and cats. Cats have no use for carbohydrates or vegetables. For dogs, you can enhance the diet but please note,  we have 10% of vegetable added in the Barxx blend so this is a great balanced for a total daily diet for dogs. Many choose to enhance the diet with some supplements for special problems. 8. HOW LONG DO THE RAW DIETS KEEP?  Barxx raw diets will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator and one year in the freezer. 9. CAN I COOK THE DIETS? We recommend that you feed Barxx diets raw for maximum absorption of protein and nutrients. Some people do choose to pan-sear the BARXX diets to release the scents of cooked meat, as their pets are familiar with these aromas in canned or pelletized pet food. 10.
