Minerals

Add minerals to the BARF dog food to meet your dog's needs. This is especially true if you avoid feeding your dog raw bones and cartilage when BARFing.

We have selected bone meals in our range specifically for this purpose, which enrich your dog's food with valuable minerals, for example horse bone meal, deer bone meal, lamb bone meal or beef bone meal. In addition to calcium, bone meals also provide a large amount of protein. Alternatively, you can also use algae lime as a vegetarian source of calcium.

In connection with calcium, make sure that your dog also has a sufficient supply of phosphorus, as an excess of calcium can lead to a phosphorus deficiency. Phosphorus is responsible for balancing your dog's acid-base balance and also has a relevant function in the body's cells. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus in adult dogs should be 1.3:1. Use egg shell flour for this.

Supplying dogs with minerals

Minerals are used by dogs to optimize their nutrient supply. They are added to food to support and strengthen the body, including its organs, and to prevent and relieve symptoms. If you are unsure which minerals are advisable for dogs in your case, it can help to consult a veterinarian or animal health practitioner. We recommend our balanced BARF mineral-vitamin mix, which you can buy in a practical one-kilogram refill bag after your first order. This mix of vitamins, trace elements and minerals for dogs is optimally adapted to natural raw feeding as a nutritional supplement.
