If there is an excess of phosphorus, the dog gets too much phosphorus, which in turn means that the four-legged friend's body absorbs too little calcium. The two elements are directly related to each other. For good reason, you can get information about the calcium-phosphorus ratio directly from us. A phosphorus excess is already said to exist when there is generally more phosphorus than calcium in the food. A ratio of 1.3:1 between calcium and phosphorus is ideal in order to avoid long-term damage to muscles, tendons and ligaments as well as bones and teeth.
A balanced diet is important to prevent an excess of phosphorus in your dog. In addition to BARF meat , offal , etc., you should also give your dog fruit and vegetables , various oils, and an extra portion of calcium if required. You can mix the latter into the BARF , for example, using horse bone meal . Use our BARF calculator to avoid an excess of phosphorus and ensure a balanced diet for your four-legged friend. You can find the necessary feed in our BARF shop .
