Cat BARF Portion
Overfeeding is the number one driver of obesity rates in Turkey. To help you avoid this trap, BARF shows daily, weekly, and monthly amounts at three levels. It also provides a 'when should you weigh?' guide, because adjusting portions alone may not be enough to maintain balance, weight trends must be tracked as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
The calculated amount differs from the one on the food bag, which should I trust?The calculated amount differs from the one on the pet food bag — which should I trust?
The chart on the pet food bag is written for an average cat — your cat's individual needs (spaying, activity, season) may differ. Our calculation is more personalized because it takes 6+ parameters into account.
How many meals should I split per day?
For puppies (<6 months) 3-4 meals are recommended, for juveniles (6 months-2 years) 2-3 meals, for adults 2 meals, and for seniors 2-3 small meals. Feeding only once a day can cause nausea and swallowing problems.
Should I calculate water amount separately?
Yes — pets eating dry food need 50-70ml of water daily per kilogram. For those eating wet food, this figure is 30% lower (water is in the food). Add +50% on hot days and after exercise.
How long should the transition period be when changing diet?
The new pet food should be mixed with the old one for a gradual 7-day transition: days 1-2 25% new, days 3-4 50%, days 5-6 75%, day 7 100%. Otherwise, intestinal issues may occur.
Is it harmful to switch pet food brands often?
Constantly changing brands disrupts your cat's gut flora. Sticking with the same brand for 6+ months is ideal. If you must switch brands, follow the 7-day transition protocol above.
