A: Absolutely not. The app handles all nutritional calculations and supplement selection for you. Your role is simple: buy the listed ingredients, weigh them, mix, and freeze. Our system guarantees every recipe is nutritionally complete and safe – there’s zero chance of getting it wrong.

A: We supplement BARF because meat and organs alone don’t provide all essential nutrients. Cats and dogs in the wild eat whole prey – we need to replace missing calcium from bones or taurine for cats.

You’ll find the supplement list after creating a free account in the „Supplements” tab. Pick a product and save your set – it’ll be used in all your recipes from then on. Some supplements you can get at the pharmacy or share with your pet (vitamin D, vitamin E). You’ve got salt in your kitchen, probably egg yolks too.

A: It’s a myth that you need extensive testing and custom supplementation based on blood work before switching to BARF.

We recommend regular checkups that catch issues before symptoms appear – once a year until age 7, then every 6 months. It’s smart to time your diet change with these routine health checks. If your pet is healthy, you’re good to go.

A: If your cat only wants dry food or low-quality wet food, it’s simply because they like how it tastes. These foods are loaded with flavor enhancers that make them super appealing.

The key is making a good decision about the change and sticking to it. You’re in charge, not the cat. You can’t explain to them that they need to give up the equivalent of junk food for healthy turkey and broccoli because it’s better for their health.

For picky cats like this, you need to slowly and consistently expand their diet to avoid rebellion and stomach issues.

A: Yes, absolutely! You can prepare a cooked diet known as BACF (Biologically Appropriate Cooked Food). Meatpoint.io fully supports creating balanced cooked diets using the same calculator you’d use for raw diets.

BACF is an excellent alternative in these situations:

• For animals with compromised immune systems
• For animals that won’t accept raw meat
• For animals during recovery periods
• When you have concerns about bacteria in raw meat
