BARF for shiny fur - this effect is one of the many reasons why dog owners BARF their dogs . But how does this connection actually exist? Basically, the food has the same effect on the fur structure as UV radiation and some diseases. If the body lacks amino acids or fatty acids or nutrients, for example, the fur becomes dull, greasy or flaky - and the shine is lost. With BARF you can actively influence the fur, as you put together the food yourself and thus avoid a one-sided diet for your dog, among other things. Try our BARF calculator to get a suitable food list for your four-legged friend. Since you usually buy the ingredients as individual food for your dog , you can also pay attention to high-quality products.
BARF is only one approach to combating greasy fur in dogs. Grooming is also an important factor. Regularly remove lost hair by using a brush. A rubber-studded curry comb is ideal for short-haired dogs, while a regular hairbrush is best for long-haired dogs. When washing, avoid using shampoo if possible. Special dog shampoo is ideally only used for really stubborn dirt. Combined with BARF, the fur can shine with new splendor. Use high-quality muscle meat, fish, offal, bones, vegetables and fruit, as well as valuable oils. It's all in the mix!
