What is wet BARF and for whom do you recommend it?

„Wet BARF is suitable for all masters and mistresses who value balanced, healthy ingredients and gentle production. Feeding cats and dogs with wet BARF is species-appropriate, natural and easily digestible. It is therefore particularly suitable for older, immunocompromised or sensitive animals. A good idea is the practical feeding with thePure meat assortment Fleischeslust Steakhouse. Pure meat and offal provide a flavour experience without any additives. This covers all the necessary nutrients - a good and species-appropriate way to feed dogs and cats. It also saves you having to think about hygiene, which has to be particularly thorough with classic BARF with raw meat.“

What does a balanced wet-BARF menu consist of?

„It is important that the wet BARF ration is well calculated and complete. It is best to consult a vet who specialises in animal nutrition. If you want to offer your dog or cat wet BARF, always prioritise animal ingredients. The proportion of meat or fish with offal in wet BARF is 80 %. Added to this are 20 % plant-based ingredients such as fruit and vegetables. Apples, bananas, carrots, courgettes or sweet potatoes, for example, are suitable here. High-quality oils enable the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Please always observe whether the animal can tolerate these components.“

What nutrients should be added to wet-BARF?

„It is essential to supplement nutrients such as B vitamins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, iodine, zinc and, for cats, taurine with a suitable mineral feed. There are also high-quality nutritional supplements for animals - for example Salmon Oil. In this way, you can ensure optimal care for your four-legged friend.“

From what age is wet-BARF suitable for dogs and cats?

„t always depends on the individual preferences of the animal. In general, dogs and cats can be fed wet BARF from the first few weeks of life, as it is well tolerated. The pieces should be as small as possible. It is best to observe which ingredients your furry friend likes. Young animals have a particular need for minerals, vitamins and trace elements. That's why you should talk to your vet about nutritional supplements and the individual amount of food.“
