Calcium is an important component of BARF . Just a glance at our BARF calculator shows the relevance of the chemical element: Calcium is listed separately there so that the supply for your four-legged friends is ensured. This is due to the great benefits of calcium in the bodies of dogs and cats. By consuming calcium with BARF, you support the growth and maintenance of bones and teeth. The mineral also ensures that blood clots properly.
If there is a calcium deficiency, this often leads to bone diseases or blood clotting disorders. Therefore, you should actively provide your animals with calcium when BARFing. BARF dog food is usually supplemented with bones and cartilage, which can also be found in the BARF calculator. You can also use egg shell flour to generate a suitable calcium content in the BARF with a little powder. This is a particularly valuable addition when BARFing cats , as the little gourmets often do not like to chew on bones. Also, make sure that pregnant animals and young animals have an increased calcium requirement, as they produce breast milk and build bones.
