BARF - Cat Brochure
Dr. Ziegler's Guide to BARF for Cats
This free BARF brochure will help you get started with BARF feeding for cats.
It briefly outlines the history of the cat as a big cat and its original diet, and takes a closer look at the eating habits of the domestic cat as a true carnivore.
You’ll also find a detailed answer to the question: What types of meat are suitable for my cat? From all kinds of poultry (chicken, turkey, duck, goose, pheasant, etc.) to organ meats (stomach, liver, etc.), you’ll receive a detailed explanation of the macronutrients and micronutrients a cat needs. You’ll also learn important information about the optimal form of preparation: ground, in pieces, or whole.
In addition to raw meat, dietary fiber and the inclusion of bones or bone components also play an important role in a house cat’s diet. These resources for BARF beginners also cover the importance of omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, and sodium for cats.
Last but not least, we’ll show you the recommended feeding guidelines for cats on a BARF diet. With our BARF calculator or calculation model, you can also determine the optimal food amount and daily ration for your cat’s BARF diet.

Dried Fish for Cats and Dogs – Small Fish, Big Delight
Crunchy sprats, tender cod—the intense flavor appeals to their natural hunting instinct, making dried fish the ideal little treat. Since many pets tolerate fish well, dried fish is particularly suitable for sensitive pets.
Why dried fish is so popular:
Natural omega fatty acids for skin and coat
High-quality protein as an easily digestible source of energy
Intense flavor with no additives

Especially suitable for pets with allergies—recommended by veterinarians
Many dogs and cats with sensitive digestion benefit from fish as a gentle source of protein.

LickiMat Wobble Turquoise
LickiMat Wobble
The LickiMat Wobble feeding bowl is designed for dogs that practically inhale their food. For these dogs, the feeding bowl is a real challenge! The food in the bowl sticks to the textured surface, and the round base causes the bowl to wobble gently back and forth. This fun activity requires the dog to really work at it, but they’re rewarded for their efforts with a delicious meal. The intense licking helps calm the dogs while also encouraging them to eat more slowly.
The Wobble features rubber nubs and a curved base for maximum tongue stimulation and endorphin production.
Usage
Spread your dog’s favorite food or tasty snack pastes on the Wobble Licking Bowl, or create your own mixture. The meal is then ready to serve, or you can freeze it for a few hours beforehand for an extra-long play session.
Add some variety by turning the inside of the bowl outward. We also recommend this option for cats, as it prevents their whiskers from coming into contact with the bowl.

Dietary supplement for dogs and cats
Algae Limestone – a natural source of calcium from the sea for strong bones and vitality
Algal lime is a true gift of nature, derived from fossilized red algae (Lithothamnium calcareum) found in the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. As these special marine algae grow, they absorb minerals and trace elements from seawater and store them in a unique form. The result is a finely ground, pure seaweed lime powder that is ideal as a natural source of calcium for dogs, cats, and even plants or soil.
Effects and Benefits
Algae lime consists largely of calcium carbonate, a valuable mineral that supports bones, teeth, and metabolism. Calcium is especially essential in a BARF diet to maintain a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. Algae lime for dogs makes it easy to balance this ratio naturally, without artificial additives or chemical binders.
Here’s how Algenkalk supports your dog:
Provides natural calcium to support bones and teeth
Promotes a healthy metabolism and strong muscles
Supports digestion and enhances overall well-being
Ideal for BARF diets or for growing and older animals
100% natural—no additives, pure calcareum derived from sea algae
Thanks to its high content of trace elements such as magnesium, iron, and zinc, seaweed calcium has a holistic and gentle effect on the body.
Premium quality from Dr. Ziegler
Our seaweed calcium from Dr. Ziegler offers the highest purity and naturalness:
100% pure red algae calcareum
