The devil's claw is a plant from Africa that is characterized by a hook-like fruit. When BARFing, the focus is primarily on the devil's claw tuber, which is ground and can be mixed into the food as a powder. There are many reasons why the devil's claw is suitable for dogs and cats. The plant can help relieve mild joint pain, as the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices announced. The African devil's claw is also said to support the functions of the musculoskeletal system by stimulating the metabolism in joints, ligaments and tendons.
For BARF dog food, we recommend African devil's claw as a supplement to collagen powder or green-lipped mussel extract . One gram of devil's claw per ten kilograms of body weight is sufficient as a daily addition. For cats, 0.5 grams is sufficient. Puppies and kittens as well as pregnant animals should avoid devil's claw powder.
Your dog and cat will receive the tuber practically directly from Namibia. To this day, the African devil's claw is only grown in southern Africa. We have the plant imported for you so that your four-legged friend can also enjoy the taste of the African devil's claw .
