Barf treats
– as a supplement that prevents vitamin K1 and copper deficiency and can do even more. For example, supplement the feed meat with essential amino acids. This is because meat only contains ¼ of the essential amino acid tryptophan (measured by the proportion of amino acids it contains). According to the minimum law, only ¼ of the amino acids in meat can be converted into body substance. The others are excreted or converted into fat.
What does this have to do with barf treats?
Barf treats should be able to do more – for example, support the composition of additional vital substances. Barf experts agree on one point: “Since not the whole carcass is fed, one or two things are missing. All the calculations are wrong anyway and it’s best to rely on a simple understanding of your dog’s nutritional needs.”
And since not everyone has wild medicinal herbs to hand, let’s see if nature has something hidden in its treasure chest.
But first we determine what our barf treat must be able to do:
- 100% natural – healthy – delicious – – without synthetic additives
- all vitamins, minerals, trace elements – naturally contained
- all essential amino acids – with high content
- Chew or nibble extensively – important for stress reduction + bodily functions
One thing is certain: meat treats lack vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids.
What should the barf treat consist of?
Scientifically proven:
Cottage cheese + buckwheat (no grain) = all important vital and anabolic substances
High-quality protein from cottage cheese (90% biological value after 100% from whole egg)
and high content of 8 essential amino acids from buckwheat.
All vitamins are naturally contained – especially the high proportion of vitamin B complex and vitamin K1. (Your dog would not defecate to make up for this deficiency).
Dogs cannot produce minerals themselves. They are vital for the organism’s electrobiological system. Mg, Ca, K, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn- to name just the most important.
Cottage cheese is well known and you’ve always been feeding it to them.
But find out more about buckwheat as a medicinal plant:
The dog needs the healthy carbohydrates to support the amino acid
Trypthopan in overcoming the brain barrier. This enables it to produce serotonin and
Dopamine for well-being and happiness.
Buckwheat lowers blood sugar levels by up to 20 %. Cottage cheese increases the
insulin levels.
The flavonoids in buckwheat also reduce inflammation throughout the body –
especially in the intestinal mucosa. Being gluten- and lectin-free contributes to this.
Buckwheat normalizes the cholesterol, fat and sugar metabolism and makes
Elastic veins.
How do you make barf treats to chew?
To preserve everything, bake gently at a low temperature with a little rapeseed oil and coconut oil. Puffed for chewing or rock hard for nibbling – every dog will find its favorite cheese bone. Dogs love cheese and now you know why.
Incidentally, people have been using the natural antibacterial effect of cottage cheese as a curd compress against inflammation for ages. Chewing the cheese bones neutralizes mouth bacteria. The bad breath has stopped and the teeth have been brushed. This is also important for barfers. Now you know what cheese bones can do as barf treats.
