BARFRatio

Features

BARFRatio helps you plan your dog's raw diet with confidence, from the first ration calculation to a ready-to-go weekly feeding plan. Calculate the right daily ration for puppies and adult dogs, based on weight, age, activity level, and goal (maintain, lose, or gain weight). BARFRatio automatically splits the ration into the classic BARF components, muscle meat, organs, bone, and vegetables, with built-in warnings, for example when the liver share is too high. Turn that ration into a rotation-ready weekly feeding plan with one tap, broken down meal by meal so you always know what's going on the plate and when. Log every feeding in one tap with the feeding log, adding notes on stool quality and appetite as you go. The history calendar view shows how your dog is doing over days and weeks at a glance. The freezer inventory tracker keeps an eye on your stock and forecasts when each ingredient is about to run out, before you're actually out. BARFRatio turns your weekly plan and freezer stock into an automatic shopping list, grouped by ingredient, ready to check off at the butcher counter. Sunday kitchen mode summarizes the whole week's portioning at a glance, large type, calm layout, built to be used one-handed at the cutting board with messy hands. Reminders for feeding times and low stock keep you on track automatically. BARFRatio is free with ads, and every feature is free for everyone. If you prefer no ads, a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes them away for good. BARFRatio works fully offline. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, your data stays on your device. This app is not a substitute for veterinary advice. Please consult a veterinarian with any questions about your dog's diet or health.
