At haustierkost.de, we refer to a special pasta mix for your dog as dog noodles. In it, we combine both common durum wheat and vegetables in the form of carrots and spinach. Minerals and vitamins are also contained in the dog noodles. This is ideal for BARFing your dog . With BARFing, you should pay attention to a natural mixture of meat and carbohydrates - the latter are provided by the dog noodles. You can also provide additional nutrients with fruit and vegetables, for example.
Dog noodles – how and why?
The dog noodles can be softened in lukewarm water in about five minutes and are then ready to eat. You can then add the mix to the BARF meat in a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4. It is particularly useful to add dog noodles to older or less active animals. They require less protein, so the dog noodles can fill the portions while the meat content is reduced. This also reduces the protein for your animal.
In addition to looking at proteins, it is also useful to look at carbohydrates. These provide energy for both humans and animals, although dogs rarely need this extra energy. Exceptions apply to dogs that are weakened by illness. In these cases, dog noodles can give your four-legged friend a quick boost. The same can also apply to particularly active dogs that can tolerate an extra portion of carbohydrates before exercise. Dog noodles can therefore be used in many ways as part of BARF dog food and can even be beneficial.
