Natural Energy Source
Animal fat is an essential energy source for dogs and cats, and therefore should not be missing from balanced BARF meals. Especially for very active dogs or those prone to underweight, an additional portion of fat in the diet is essential. But even healthy dogs and cats require an adequate amount of fat to provide their bodies with essential fatty acids and energy. If too little fat is fed, the body will instead use proteins as an energy source, which can lead to kidney overload in the long run.
The Extra Portion of Energy for Your Pet
Chicken fat is ideal for supplementing our chicken muscle meat with the necessary amount of fat. It is also perfect for puppies, pregnant or nursing females, as well as for working and sporting dogs. The fat content in muscle meat should ideally range between 15 and 25% for dogs, depending on factors such as age, activity level, weight, and hormone status.
BARF pyramid
The BARF pyramid opposite shows how BARF meals should be divided up for a healthy, adult dog. Normally, the rations consist of 80 % animal and 20 % vegetable components, although not all components need to be fed every day. Feeding sick animals or those with intolerances can look completely different. Our nutrition experts will be happy to help you with any questions you may have.
Feeding recommendation
For a balanced BARF diet for adult healthy dogs, we recommend a composition of 80% animal and 20% plant components. The animal portion should be divided into 50% muscle meat, 20% tripe and leaf tripe, 15% organs, and 15% raw meaty bones (RMB). The plant portion typically consists of 75% vegetables and 25% fruit.
To calculate the exact BARF rations for your dog, you can use our free BARF calculator. Enter your dog's data, and receive the results for balanced daily and weekly rations within seconds.
For adult healthy cats, the animal portion of the BARF rations should be 95%. The remaining 5% should consist of fiber-rich vegetables like carrots or pumpkin.
We recommend dividing the total food amount into at least two portions per day and supplementing it with essential dietary supplements such as Omega-3-6-9 oil and seaweed powder.
All of our BARF products should be stored in the freezer at -18 °C and thawed in the refrigerator for about 12 hours before feeding, either without packaging or with sufficient air holes. Serve the meat at room temperature.
