good lord, they do make it sound so complicated, LOL!

i don't agree with so much veggies though... the premise behind the BARF diet is that there are so many bones (necks, backs, etc) and not enough meat, that dogs get constipated, so you need all these veggies to get things moving again Nature doesn't work like that! wolves actually shake out the stomach contents of the large ungulates they catch (who wants to eat a stomachful of acid and bile?!) before eating the stomach itself, so that theory flies out the door...

If you can find Urban Carnivore frozen patties (or any other similar) which is pure ground meat & bones (chicken, lamb, beef, venison, turkey, etc), you can simply thaw & serve that for dinner, adding the occasional veggie if your dog likes it, the occasional yogurt, and 10% of the diet should include organ meats too, and add as much muscle meat and whole eggs as you want to the meals. It's really simple once you've done it for a few days

if Healthy Paws patties are just meat & bones (i can't find the ingredients) then by all means follow the above
