Wet-BARF for cats - this is the right way to do it

Meat is the basis of a healthy and species-appropriate cat diet. Wet BARF is a good alternative for cats to ordinary ready-made food, but also to BARFing with raw meat. Many cats tolerate the cooked meat better than the raw version. In addition, with wet BARF you don't have to worry about pathogens, such as salmonella. They are killed during the cooking process. The wet-BARF also does not need artificial flavors or flavor enhancers, as some industrial foods contain. The wet-BARF menu for your velvet paw needs to be supplemented with various nutrients to keep it well fed.

When you give your cat wet BARF, you know exactly what ingredients are in it. This way you feed your cat according to its needs and the way it likes it. So if you are intensively involved in feeding your velvet paw, you are certainly doing something good for it. You don't have time for wet BARFing? Then try the balancedWet food menus from Pussy Deluxe that don't need additives. Pure meat and offal with lots of protein meet vegetables, oils and other high-quality ingredients - without any unnecessary additives. Tasty and close to nature!

Our domestic cats are carnivores by nature, but usually eat the whole prey animal including offal and blood. It is therefore not species-appropriate to feed a cat exclusively on muscle meat.

They can hardly utilise carbohydrates. You should bear this in mind if you want to feed your tiger wet BARF: Wet BARF mainly contains meaty ingredients. This includes muscle meat, fish and offal. You supplement it with some vegetables. The chopped ingredients are steamed. Also add high-quality oils. Because important nutrients are destroyed by the cooking process, you should supplement them. Cats need various vitamins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, amino acids and iodine. Taurine is particularly important. In contrast to dogs, this amino acid is essential for cats. A lack of it can lead to blindness, heart defects, deafness or infertility.

Feeding day-old chicks or frozen mice and rats alone does not fulfil the requirements. Both chicks and, in most cases, mice are growing animals whose bones have not yet hardened.They often contain too little calcium and phosphorus.

An example composition would be 70 % muscle meat, 10 % meaty bones such as chicken necks, 10 % offal, 5 % raw egg yolk, 1 % salmon oil, 3 % linseed oil, 0.3 % eggshells and 0.6 % minerals.Your vet will help you with the composition.
