What is BARF?

The BARF (Biologically Appropriate RAW Food) diet is raw and complete food, in the same shape, balance and quantity that our pets would receive in their natural environment. It contains all the necessary ingredients and nutrients - meat, organs, bones, fruits, vegetables and oils. If we want our four-legged friends to reach their genetic potential in terms of health, longevity, physical activity and reproduction, their diet must resemble their evolutionary method of eating.

"BARF IS THE MOST SUITABLE DIET FOR DOGS AND CATS ACCORDING TO THEIR BIOLOGICAL SPECIES."

Why BARF?

Dogs and cats were domesticated 15,000 years ago. However, they have not adapted to process cooked food, kibble and canned food. Their digestive system is designed to digest raw food. Their teeth, jaws, and digestive physiology prove that they are designed to accept meat, organs, and bones.

What do we use?

Meat

Raw meat is an indispensable part of an overall healthy diet and a major source of energy. It contains proteins, amino acids, fats and water-soluble vitamins.

Authorities

Internal organs are a vital part of the food of dogs and cats. Secreting organs, such as kidneys, liver, heart are beneficial ingredients in the BARF diet and provide essential minerals and water-soluble vitamins.

Liver

The liver contains vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, biotin, folacin, choline and inositol. It is an excellent source of zinc, manganese, selenium and iron. It provides quality proteins and essential fatty acids, both of the omega-3 and omega-6 types.

Kidneys

The kidneys are a source of quality proteins, essential fatty acids and many vitamins, including all fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. They are rich in iron, zinc, B vitamins.

Heart

Like the liver and kidneys, the heart is an excellent source of protein, B vitamins and iron. It contains some essential fatty acids, vitamin A and taurine.

Bones

Soft, raw edible bones are an important component of BARF diets. They provide the necessary nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, minerals, bone marrow, natural antioxidants and enzymes.

Green tripe*

Green tripe is the stomach of ruminants in raw, unprocessed form and is the best natural probiotic. The gastric juices in it are full of digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria. They help digest food, improve metabolism, hormonal function, and strengthen the immune system.

Vegetables

Dogs are omnivores and need a higher percentage of vegetables in their raw diet, unlike cats, which are strictly carnivores. Vegetables supply fiber, omega 3 essential fatty acids, enzymes, antioxidants, phytochemicals and many vitamins.

Fruit

Fruits in moderation are extremely beneficial for our pets. They are a complete food that is a source of a lot of fiber, vitamins A, vitamin C, enzymes, antioxidants and minerals.

Benefits of BARF

Assisted
Digestion

The BARF diet normalizes and strengthens the digestive system by providing a good balance of active enzymes that are contained in raw food. Enzymes help the body break down and absorb the maximum amount of nutrients.

Enriches
intestinal flora

The BARF diet improves a healthy digestive cycle. Raw menus are made up of easily digestible and suitable ingredients that your pet fully absorbs.

Regulates weight

A healthy, balanced diet is the key to achieving optimal weight. Protein food helps build dense muscles, and this speeds up metabolism. If you stick to the recommended raw portion of BARF, your friend will be in great shape.

Dental care

Raw food maintains good oral hygiene and low plaque levels. The BARF diet is a prevention against tartar formation. If your friend consumes mostly raw menus, the bacteria in his mouth will decrease and his breath will be fresher and more pleasant.

Supports the formation of healthy tendons, bones and dense muscle mass

Bones are a natural source of calcium, phosphorus, glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen and bone marrow. These nutrients lead to healthy growth in small dogs and kittens and support excellent joint health. And the high protein content helps build dense muscle mass.

Nourishes coat and skin

The hair is made up of long protein strands, and when it is nourished with protein, it becomes strong, healthy and shiny. Raw menus are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which maintain healthy skin and a soft, radiant coat. They have an anti-inflammatory function and are recommended for animals with skin allergies.

Reduces infections, inflammation and strengthens the immune system

A complete and balanced menu is essential for the immune system in animals. The raw diet contains a good balance of essential fatty acids and other essential nutrients, it reduces inflammatory conditions and eliminates infections.

Improves reproductive health

Healthy and natural food leads to an increase in the population of the biological species. A raw diet is extremely suitable for growth, reproduction and development. During pregnancy and lactation, the female needs nutritious and quality food. The BARF diet provides all the necessary nutrients to the mother and adolescents.

Maintains balanced behavior

High-quality proteins and healthy fats provide sustainable energy levels that support physical activity and endurance. At the same time, the richness of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants supports the nervous system, reduces stress and anxiety.

Increases appetite

BARF food is composed of raw meat, organs and bones, which are naturally attractive to dogs and cats. Freshness, natural taste, the absence of artificial additives and preservatives in raw menus increase their appetite dramatically.

Provides extra hydration

One of the biggest benefits of the BARF method is that dogs and kittens take in significantly less water, as the food contains a high amount of natural moisture. A raw diet maintains your pet's hydration and water balance, unlike most processed dry foods.

    The truth about granulated food?

    The granules were highly popularized at the end of World War II because of their convenience, ease of distribution and low cost. They are an inexpensive substitute for natural pet nutrition and are compared to Junk Food. The granules dehydrate the body because of the low water content. And undergoing a heat treatment process, they change their molecular composition and lose their nutritional value.

    • Waste products;
    • Carbohydrates and starch;
    • Highly processed ingredients;
    • Dyes, chemicals, preservatives and stabilizers.

    In addition to low-quality ingredients, many forms of toxins are introduced into the body of our pets. As a result, the number of dogs and kittens that suffer from problems with the kidneys, pancreas and liver is increasing, and the number of cancers continues to grow.

    Granulated food is a major cause of chronic degenerative and autoimmune diseases, as well as food allergies.
