App Profile: The BARF App

BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. The BARF diet is designed to replicate what dogs would eat in the wild, that is to say raw meat, raw bones, raw vegetables, herbs and fruits. These are the food components of a BARF diet. It is important to feed these components in a healthy ratio. This ratio ensures that the dog will be supplied with all the nutrients it needs.

With this app it is very easy to create an individual B.A.R.F weekly food plan for your dogs with all the nutrients they need. The plan is always available in the app, it is also possible to export the plan to PDF and print it.

Furthermore the app offers useful tools to make it easier to feed your dog with the BARF concept. For example the "Shopping Organizer" tool allows you to precisely calculate the components your dog needs for a given period of time. If there are more than one dog profiles saved it is possible to combine their need of food components. Another useful tool is the "fat nutrition calculator". When a dog gets fed according to BARF it gets its energy mainly from fats. So it is important that a food ration contains enough fat. The target fat content should be between 15% and 25% of the meal. The fat calculator shows how much fat must be added to a ration in order to reach the target fat content.
