The BARF Dog Food diet is based on human grade or fit for human consumption whole foods such as raw meats, fruits, vegetables, and natural supplements.
You can be very creative when preparing your own BARF meals and for the most part these meals will be raw and consist of raw whole foods.
Muscle meats,
organ meats,
meaty bones, raw eggs, and raw vegetables should probably make up a good part of this type of diet.
Other ingredients that could be used are raw fruit, raw herbs,
Spirulina,
and other natural supplements.

Homemade Dog Food Recipe (almost completely raw)
I like this video and except for the sweet potato (which is cooked) and assuming the goat products are raw, this is pretty much a raw meal. I would not choose to use the microwave for any reason and I would also think twice about using garlic, as some dogs may be allergic.
Homemade BARF Recipe (All Raw)
I absolutely love the beautiful color and freshness of this raw dog food meal. I also love the idea of adding cultured vegetables to help with intestinal "Good Bacteria". Also, giving your pet healthy fatty acids and natural vitamins is probably a very good idea.
My Experience with Raw Animal Food
I have dabbled here and there with feeding the family dogs raw animal foods. I have found it to be very good for their coats and it seems to give them a vitality that no amount of dry pet food could ever supply.
Dry dog food is "dead food".
In fact, whenever I have stopped giving our dogs the raw animal foods - they seem to not be as healthy and seem to get very upset that they are not being fed something they like and seem to need.
I literally get barked/yelled at by one of the dogs.
I too become afraid of parasites, bacteria, etc. and feel like it is wrong to feed an animal raw meat - because of the pressures of society.
Sadly, this fear may be the reason that so many pets have to suffer the fate of food allergies that make their lives so incredibly miserable.
Important Note! If you ever decide to give your pets raw animal foods, it's important to give them high quality raw animal food - especially if you feed them raw organ meats.
