Important Calcium Source for a Balanced Diet
Bones are, like muscle meat and offal, an essential component of a balanced BARF diet. They contain a lot of calcium, which is crucial for the health of bones and teeth. Adequate calcium intake is important during growth and at every other life stage of your dog to keep bones, teeth, and joints strong and healthy.
Meaty Bones for Better Digestion
When barfing, meaty bones are preferred – that is, bones that are surrounded by a certain amount of meat. This promotes stomach acid production and facilitates the digestion of the bones. The meat also acts as a natural protection that supports the easy swallowing and digesting of bone parts.
Raw Meaty Bones: Natural Chewing Fun for Dogs
If your dog has no experience with feeding bones, you should gradually introduce them into the BARF meal plan and initially offer only small amounts. Soft bones, such as chicken carcasses, chicken and duck necks, or veal breast bones, are ideal for beginners, as they are not too hard and prevent hurried swallowing due to their size. However, not only beginners but also experienced dogs love the regular enjoyment of raw, meaty bones that provide them with natural chewing fun.

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.
