Barf
Natural nutrition
The Barf diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food), is a type of natural diet, aimed at simulating the prey that an animal would find in nature.
The foods used for a natural diet are mainly composed of raw meat, meaty bones, offal, green tripe, leather, fruit and vegetables.
Through the Barf diet, Doctor Fox offers the possibility of preparing a food program that satisfies the needs of each dog or cat, providing all the necessary nutrients.
Our meats, suitable for those following a home or Barf diet, are strictly Made in Italy and are chosen with care.
The importance of chewing
Doctor Fox offers natural snacks dried in hot ventilated air, which preserves the structure and nutrients. Our range of chews is designed for the different needs of dogs, who, like predators, chew and swallow quickly.
It is important to start with crumbly chews and gradually increase the difficulty: this promotes the production of endorphins and serotonin, and reduces cortisol. On the contrary, immediately offering chews that are too demanding can cause frustration.
We have created a chewability index from 1 to 5 (with 5 being the most demanding) to help choose the right chew for each situation: snacks differ by anatomical cut, size, palatability, type of use (complement to the diet or recreational), chewing experience and morphology and age of the dog.
The excellence of BARF producers in Italy: safety and controlled supply chain
The transition to a biologically appropriate raw diet requires absolute guarantees on raw materials. The best BARF producers in Italy stand out for the use of traceable meats, the absence of chemical additives, and strict compliance with ASL and HACCP regulations during cold processing.
Within this landscape, specialized companies like Doctor Fox establish themselves by guaranteeing a short supply chain and direct control over protein quality. Relying on an Italian brand for raw pet food ensures the use of certified thermal blast chilling processes, a crucial factor in neutralizing bacterial loads and offering complete, safe menus formulated to actively support the intestinal microbiome and immune system of dogs and cats.
