The BARF App builds a balanced raw feeding plan for your dog in minutes – day by day, in grams or ounces, for the whole week. BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food: muscle meat, offal, tripe, raw bones, fish, fruit and vegetables, fed in the ratio a dog's prey would provide. The app works out that ratio for you, based on your dog's weight, age, activity level and feeding days. No spreadsheet, no guesswork. YOUR RAW FEEDING PLAN • A Monday-to-Sunday plan with the exact amount of every component • Every share adjustable: muscle meat, tripe, offal, raw bones, fruit, vegetables • More than 110 food components in 8 categories, each with nutrition facts and a recommended share • Custom additives and supplements on their own schedule – daily, weekly or your own rhythm • Export the raw diet plan as a PDF to print or share • As many dog profiles as you like, made for multi-dog households PUPPIES AND WEIGHT GOALS • Puppies: portions grow with them, calculated from date of birth and expected adult weight • Lose, gain or maintain weight, with a target weight and adjustable intensity • Weigh-in reminder: enter a new weight and the feeding plan recalculates instantly TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY RAW FEEDING • Shopping organizer: how much food for 7 or 14 days, totalled across all your dogs • Fat calculator: how much fat a portion still needs to hit your target fat content • Sea weed calculator: the daily dose from iodine content and body weight • Thawing reminder: a daily notification so the next portion defrosts in time • Metric or imperial units – kilograms and grams, or pounds and ounces WHY THE BARF APP • No account, no sign-up: your dog's data stays on your device • Works offline • Available in eleven languages • Built for phone and tablet FREE AND PREMIUM For free you can create a dog profile, see today's portion and recalculate the plan whenever something changes. BARF Premium unlocks the full week, unlimited dogs, PDF export, custom additives and every calculator – as a one-time purchase or an annual subscription. Please note: raw feeding advice in this app is no substitute for veterinary care. If your dog is ill, pregnant or has special needs, discuss the diet with your vet or a canine nutritionist.
