Naturally adapted food: BARF PETFOOD is designed to meet your dog's needs in a natural and easy way, regardless of whether you have a lot or little experience with raw feeding. Why choose raw feeding? Because based on history, animal anatomy and our experience, BARF feeding is the right choice for your furry friend.
BARF PETFOOD is designed to provide all the nutrients necessary for your dog's health based on the BARF method.
FOR YOUR DOG'S HEALTH AND PREFERENCES
For us, natural means raw materials that are found in nature as they are, and that are processed as little as possible. In other words, raw materials that have not been spoiled by high-temperature processes or similar. In our facilities, the meat is delivered fresh, minced, mixed and created into sausages or burgers.
We can offer two different types of meat.
- Raw meat, which is completely natural and nothing else is done to it after the process described in the previous section.
- Treated meat, which is processed in the same way as raw meat, but is cooked in water at a temperature of no more than 70°. To do this, the pieces are cooked individually, so that each nutrient remains inside them.
In this way, in both types of meat the nutritional content is the same per 100 grams.
It was decided to make two different lines of food to satisfy the different preferences of each animal. The difference after cooking is based on a change in the texture, consistency, and smell of the cooked meat.
There is no set formula for every dog, they are just like us. Some foods and textures are simply better than others or they accept them better than others, that is why we want to make a wide variety to be able to adapt to any need for our best friends.
100% ANIMAL PROTEINS, WITHOUT UNNECESSARY ADDITIVES THAT TRY TO RECONSTRUCT THE NUTRITIONAL CONTENT (NEVER OF THE SAME QUALITY AS THE NATURAL CONTENT), LOST AFTER EXTREME THERMAL PROCESSES TO OBTAIN FLOURS OR FEED. SO, WHY CHOOSE BARF PETFOOD OR OTHER SIMILAR DOG FOOD MANUFACTURERS?
HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?
HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?
You won't find a feeding chart in our products. The reason is that it would be impossible to create a chart that takes into account the many complex factors that ultimately determine how much food your particular dog needs on a daily basis. Not only do dogs' needs vary by breed, sex, age, environment, stress and activity levels, but there are also important individual differences. Studies of resting metabolism in humans show that one person may have up to twice the energy requirement of another person under the same conditions.
The recommended amount for complete feeding is approximately 2% of the dog's normal daily weight. If you have a dog that weighs around 20 kg, this will equate to around 400 g.
Around 4% in puppies up to 1 year old.
An example with a weight of 20 kg would be the following: 20 kg x 2% = 20 x 2/100 = 0.4 kg = 400 grams.
This is very theoretical and based on an average energy requirement. Therefore, it is important that you experiment and adjust the amount as you go along. Find out what your breed or mix should optimally look like: sit down and look at the dog. The dog should be kept normally slim and you should be able to feel its ribs easily.
Feel free to feed your dog more than once a day by splitting the daily ration in two, for example, in the morning and in the evening. For many dogs, a large amount of food at one time can result in poorer nutrient absorption.
