Yes, you can cook your dog or cat meat formula, but only if it is a boneless meat formula. Furthermore, cooked meat will lose only a minimal amount of nutrients compared to raw meat. 

To the extent that you want to serve raw meat, we do not recommend to thaw it in the microwave, since it would cook meat. Thus, we recommend to thaw frozen meat in fresh water for 15 minutes.

In general, an adult dog daily ration is about 2.5% of their weight. Since this is not calculated on a straight-line basis according to their age, size, and activity level, we recommend you to refer to the ‘‘Preparing your own dog food’’ or ‘‘Preparing your own cat food’’ page in order to determine the exact daily serving.

The food ration is determined by calories included in raw food as well as your pet energy needs based on their weight and activity level.

It is important to know your pet’s weight and ask your vet if such weight is ideal.

Absolutely not! On the contrary, preparing homemade pet food is simpler than you think. Please refer to the ”Preparing your own dog food” or ”Preparing your own cat food” pages.

*Should you use the Karbur dietary supplement in your homemade pet food, please note that there is no need to add crushed bones in it since our supplement contains enough calcium and phosphorus.

Yes! They are a good fibre source and offer numerous benefits to ensure proper intestine functioning. Berries have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to their polyphenol content. However, fruits and vegetables do not bring enough vitamins and minerals to cover the puppy & adult dog minimum nutritional requirements, that is why we elaborated our dietary supplements. Instead of giving your pet commercial treats, try with a slice of apple, carrot or even a raspberry! They’ll love it!

Fish and marine oils can be an important source of vitamin D. Since Karbur dog dietary supplements contain a sufficient amount of vitamin D, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum required quantity and to limit the fish intake to a safe level.

For example, salmon contains 441 IU of vitamin D3/100 g), so we must include up to 10% of salmon in the homemade raw portion when using Karbur puppy, adult dog or senior dog supplement, and abide by the following formula: 70% meat, 10% salmon, 10% organs and 10% fruits and vegetables.

It is important for you to know the vitamin D value when you wish to feed your dog with fish. Here are a few examples: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/

Salmon: 441 IU of vitamin D/100 g
Herring: 167 IU of vitamin D/100 g
Sardine: 192 IU of vitamin D/100 g
Carp: 988 IU of vitamin D/100 g
Haddock: 18 IU of vitamin D/100 g
Sardine Oil: 332 IU of vitamin D/100 g
Cod Liver Oil: 10 000 IU of vitamin D/100 g
