A short vacation with your dog is sometimes just the thing when your owner and your pet are ready for a vacation and need a few days off from the daily grind - regardless of whether you are longing for long walks through the Black Forest or want to relax on the dog beaches of the North and Baltic Seas. Dog-friendly accommodations for a spontaneous short trip can be found quickly on the Internet, but what about nutrition on a short vacation with your dog? Especially if your pet is usually fed BARF meat , the question naturally arises as to whether BARF is suitable for traveling. The BARF guide from haustierkost.de provides answers!
BARF on the road: How to make it possible
BARF when travelling - this seems to be a contradiction in terms for many reasons. Firstly, it is of course associated with a certain amount of effort to put together a balanced meal for BARFing the dog that meets its needs. Secondly, the BARF dog food requires both sufficient space and a suitable cooling option. If this is the case, there are two options for BARF when travelling. Either you prepare the food at home in portions or you use the ready- made BARF from our BARF shop . These are species-appropriate menus that are always a good choice when you want something practical and quick. But even if your hotel room or apartment does not have a fridge with a freezer compartment, BARF when travelling is by no means impossible if you get a powerful cool box.
BARF on the go – the perfect alternative to frozen meat
In our opinion, the perfect BARF for on the go is dried meat for dogs , which is easy to portion and take anywhere. Just like classic frozen meat , this provides a variety of trace elements, vitamins and minerals for dogs and also has a relatively high proportion of natural protein. When feeding, however, make sure that you always provide your animal with enough water to compensate for the low moisture content of the dried meat.
Another wonderful alternative to the usual BARF for on the go is freeze-dried meat , which has an enormous protein density due to its low water content. Freeze-drying also ensures that the structure of the meat, as well as the naturally intense taste and the vitamins it contains, are optimally preserved for dogs .
Short vacation with dog and high-quality canned meat
During a short vacation with your dog, you also have the option of temporarily switching to high-quality canned meat or grain-free dog food . If you focus on quality, you are also fulfilling the great responsibility of feeding your four-legged friend in a species-appropriate manner. In concrete terms, this means gently cooked meat from fresh, legally approved slaughter products that do not contain any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Our BARF online shop offers an extensive selection to ensure that feeding your dog during a short vacation is as easy and species-appropriate as possible - for example with organic wet food from Terra-Pura . Whichever food alternative to BARF you and your dog choose, we generally recommend testing it at home to ensure that your pet accepts it.
