Gourmet menus to recreate at home:
BARF is always individual – every dog is different. Age, activity level, weight, health, and metabolism influence how much and how often to feed. As a guideline: adult dogs with normal activity levels should receive about 2–3% of their body weight per day, while puppies, pregnant dogs, or very active dogs should receive 4–6%.
Example: A 30 kg, normally active dog needs approximately 600–900 g of BARF daily. Our sample menus provide guidance, not strict requirements. Observe your dog – coat, energy level, weight, and digestion will tell you whether the quantity or composition needs adjusting.
