Why we do not offer ready-made BARF menus

Warum wir keine fixfertigen BARF-Menüs anbieten

BARF ready-mixes are convenient: open the bag, pour the contents into the bowl, done. Sounds easy. But at Buon Viando, we stand for natural, species-appropriate, and individualized feeding. And that’s exactly why we deliberately say: No to fully standardized ready-made meals.

Fresh is better – and for good reason
Ready-made meals follow a standard recipe. The goal is often to create a “one-size-fits-all” solution. But the needs of our dogs and cats are as diverse as their personalities. A generic mix rarely covers all nutritional requirements adequately.

With BARF feeding, you can tailor meals specifically to each animal: this ensures that vitamins, minerals, and trace elements are included in the exact amounts and combinations your pet actually needs – adjusted to their size, age, health condition, and activity level.

What’s really inside?
With many ready-mixes, the origin and quality of the ingredients remain unclear. This can be risky, especially for animals with allergies or sensitive digestion. That’s not what transparency looks like. With our single-ingredient feeding method, you know exactly what’s going into the bowl – and why.

Feeding responsibly means making your own choices
For us, BARF isn’t just raw feeding – it’s also about taking responsibility. Those who prepare fresh meals themselves stay in control. Those who understand their animal’s needs can provide targeted nutrition. That’s why we focus on advice, education, and support – rather than convenient, pre-packaged solutions without background.

Our conclusion
BARF ready-mixes aren’t inherently bad – but they’re rarely optimal. If you want the best for your dog or cat, there’s no getting around a fresh, individualized meal plan. We’re here to support you with guidance, products, and experience.
