Dry BARF turkey – grain-free complete nutrition for dogs

What makes Mr.Bones Dry BARF turkey a better choice than “traditional” dog food?

The BARF philosophy emphasizes meat, offal, and bones – that is, natural ingredients for dogs – without unnecessary fillers. This recipe is air-dried, grain-free, and single-protein turkey, so the dog receives densely well-absorbed protein and energy without the heat of extrusion. 90% meat and 10% fruits/vegetables make the portions smaller but more nutritious than most regular kibbles, which often also results in better palatability and cleaner stools.

Who is this suitable for – puppy, adult, or senior?

The recipe is a complete food for dogs of all sizes and ages according to activity level. For example, for a mittelspitz puppy, an adult whippet, or a senior golden retriever, this is an easy, nutritious everyday food. Start feeding according to the product package instructions and monitor the dog's condition.

Why is air-dried BARF desirable for many in everyday life?

You get the benefits of the BARF philosophy (meat emphasis, clear ingredient list) without freezing or thawing hassle. Air drying preserves the meat’s aromas and nutrients, making the food very tasty even for picky eaters – and the bag is convenient to take along to the cottage, workdays, and trips.

Is this suitable for allergic or sensitive stomach dogs?

Yes – turkey is the only animal protein (single-protein) and the recipe is grain-free. The simple ingredient list makes it easier to assess suitability for example for a Labrador, Lagotto Romagnolo, or poodle, which may have sensitive stomachs. Introduce the new food gradually and observe the condition.

What ingredients does the recipe contain?

Turkey muscle meat (including breast and thigh), selected offal (heart, liver, kidney pie) as well as meaty bones according to the BARF profile, and 10% fruits/vegetables (pear, carrot, broccoli) and herbs (rosemary, thyme). The clear composition makes the food easy to understand and comparable to other options.

What is the nutritional content and energy amount?

Analysis: crude protein 46%, crude fat 33%, crude fiber 1%, moisture 5%, ash 7%. Energy 606 kcal / 100 g (metabolizable energy 491 kcal / 100 g) and Ca:P ratio about 1.2:1. The dense energy amount supports musculature and endurance for border collies, Australian shepherds, and active tollers alike.

How do I serve it – dry or softened?

You can give the pieces as is or moisten them with warm water for 2–10 minutes. For small breeds (e.g. kooikerhondje), puppies, and seniors, softening makes the mouthfeel gentler. Test the texture that works best for your dog.

How do I dose it in practice?

Because air-dried BARF is energy-dense, portion sizes are often smaller than in fresh BARF or wet foods. Start with the package dosing instructions, monitor the dog’s weight, muscle condition, and stool quality, and adjust the amount according to daily activity. If needed, ask us – we are happy to help fine-tune.

Why is this a good choice for training treats and enrichment?

Irregular pieces crumble into small bits by hand, the smell is irresistible to dogs, and your hands stay clean. You get rewards for nose work, obedience, and everyday training without separate treats – suitable for both Parson Russell and Kleinpudel.

How do I choose the right bag size for our everyday life?

450 g is agile for testing or occasional use for small breeds (e.g. Shetland sheepdog). 1 kg works for most medium-sized dogs, like a Mudi or cocker spaniel. 3 kg is convenient for bigger eaters, like Samoyed or German shepherd – always according to the dog’s consumption; measure your own dog and ask us if you are considering.

What benefits can BARF-based feeding have for coat and skin?

A meat-heavy, grain-free recipe made from clear ingredients has, according to many dog owners’ experience, supported coat shine and skin well-being. Air drying preserves natural fats and aromas, which often increase palatability even for picky Hovawarts.

What about teeth and the need to chew?

The drier, crumbly texture encourages chewing and can support oral health in everyday life. Alternate between hard and soft as needed by moistening pieces for example for a mittelspitz or Bichon Havanais if the gums need gentleness.

How does this differ from frozen BARF?

You get the same “meat–offal–bones–vegetables” concept in a convenient room-temperature stable product. No thawing, no rush – the bag reseals and travels well. If you want easy BARF everyday life without a freezer, the air-dried form is a neat solution.

How do I store the product properly?

Keep the bag in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight, and close it carefully after use. No refrigeration is needed, and the product keeps until the date marked on the package when stored properly – perfect also for the cottage and trips.
