I'll try, Debi. It was me who introduced NI to the forum, and it's gone a bit viral! Barf - Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (or Bones and Raw Food as some call it) is intended to give dogs the natural food that they are built to digest, all raw, the way that nature intended them to eat. Most commercial dog foods have cereals and additives that some believe to have detrimental effects on dogs' health, may cause allergies etc. A barf diet will consist of about 85% raw meat (usually chicken) and bones plus some vegetables and fruit, plus a few other things like fish or fish oils, eggs etc. I came across Natural Instinct when I got Dylan. I had fed barf before, but found it hard to maintain easily with a busy life. Natural Instinct is basically a barf diet, all ground up and prepared ready to feed, making it as easy to feed barf as to feed any other dog food, and also at a reasonable price. So for me it was a godsend and the others on here who have tried it all seem to agree. They are also a really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable small company. I like the fact that there is no choking danger as the bones are ground, and they double-grind the veg to make the nutrition from them more accessible. They also include fish-oil and kelp so all the supplements are already there. The website is http://www.naturalinstinct.com
You are already part way there from the sound of it if you are feeding chicken wings. I haven't heard of the other food you are feeding. Please ask anything else that I might have left out.
