They get apples and green beans and non-"wolfy" stuff to supplement and provide the stuff that dogs need.
Definitely yes on the processed/fresh issue. The big bad in kibbles is all the grains and fillers. The BARF is good if you are resolving certain issues (like underfed or unknown weight loss) but if long term it should be augmented with veggies. Fruits are fun too, just not too much.... sugar ya know.
