Many dog owners immediately think of tables, scales, and complicated calculations when they hear the term BARF. But honestly: It can be simpler – and so much healthier for your pet.
1. The Basis: 80% animal, 20% plant-based
This rule of thumb is your guiding principle. Muscle meat, bones, and organ meats make up the bulk – plus vegetables, some fruit, healthy oils, and seaweed powder. Additional supplements can be added as needed.
2. Orientation over Perfection
Not every bowl needs to be accurate to the milligram. What matters is the balance over one to two weeks. If it's a few grams more today, it'll be less tomorrow :)
3. Mental math? Not necessary.
Save yourself the math – with our practical tools:
This way, you can find the right amount and dosage in no time – without any hassle.
4. BARF the way it suits you
Whether you use a practical balanced sausage, prefer to combine the individual components individually, or portion fresh daily – anything goes, as long as it fits your daily routine and your pet.

5. Little helpers, big impact
There are a few must-haves when it comes to supplements:
- Seaweed meal for iodine supply
- Salmon oil as a natural source of omega-3
These two should not be missing from any BARF diet – they are essential for the thyroid, skin, coat, and many other bodily functions. Supplemented with other herbs, nuts, eggs, or special additives as needed, this creates a completely balanced meal. And all without complicated science – simple, natural, and effective.
Our conclusion:
BARF is not rocket science. It only requires a little knowledge, trust, and perhaps a look at our shop. Then BARFing will be a relaxed experience.
