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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 \u2018\u2018Preparing your own dog food\u2019\u2019 or \u2018\u2018Preparing your own cat food\u2019\u2019 page in order to determine the exact daily serving.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It is important to know your pet\u2019s weight and ask your vet if such weight is ideal.<\/p>\n

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\u2019ll love it!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:\u00a0https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

Yes, it is safe to serve raw meat, to the extent that the basic hygiene and safety handling rules and precautions are followed, in terms of raw food preparation, preservation, handling, and cleaning. These rules are the same as the ones you abide by when preparing your own meals.<\/p>\n

Such organization seeks its primary references based on minimal nutritional requirements for cats and dogs, as published by the US National Research Council (NRC). Therefore, the NRC provides their guidelines to the AAFCO.<\/p>\n

In order to meet complete and balanced nutritional needs, the AAFCO takes into account the apparent digestibility of ingredients commonly found in Pet Food. They consider safety factors to account for differences in the food nutrient availability due to ingredient and processing variations. Therefore, certain AAFCO nutrient minimums are higher than the NRC standards. Moreover, the AAFCO is stricter than the NRC when it comes to safe maximum limits.<\/p>\n

In summary, if a recipe is complete and balanced with regards to AAFCO, it is also for the NRC.<\/p>\n

Weight gain happens when the calorie consumption is greater than the dog energy expenditure. Also, the raw portion fat content contributes to a greater share of calories as opposed to proteins or carbohydrates.<\/p>\n

Conversely, if your dog or cat looses weight, you must check if they eat enough according to their energy requirements or if there are any other health issues.<\/p>\n

The calorie intake, exercise, amount of food or treat consumed, weight and body condition must be closely monitored.<\/p>\n

Should this be your dog\u2019s feeding mode, it is important to know that only the raw food serving consisting of boneless meat, organs, fruits and vegetables needs to include the Karbur adult\/senior dog dietary supplement representing 2 g for each 100 g of raw food.

BARF raw food diets allow for pet owners to identify proteins that can pose a problem to their dog or cat and easily implement an eviction diet. Many pets have a sensitive stomach or are intolerant to one or more proteins, such as chicken, beef, or turkey. If you suspect that your pet suffers from food allergies or intolerances, we recommend you to feed them with one single protein that does not cause any symptoms in order to alleviate or eradicate the problem.<\/p>\n

The dry yeast used in Karbur dog dietary supplements is a source of mannan-oligosaccharides and helps balancing the gut bacterial population and has a direct and indirect effect on the digestive tract health. It provides an increased preventive action against diarrhea problems and prevents from intestinal infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it directly enhances the immune defence efficiency and increases the capability to better fight pathogens, by preventing them from attaching to the intestinal lining. Mannan-oligosaccharides offer numerous benefits for puppies, namely the maturation of gastrointestinal tracts and support to the intestinal micro-flora development.<\/p>\n
