What goes in the bowl

Ingredients

The app works out how many grams of each ingredient go into your dog's bowl.

  • Chicken thigh steaksAmount in the app
  • RiceAmount in the app
  • CarrotsAmount in the app

Supplements (just before feeding)

  • Salmon oil (e.g. from Lunderland)Amount in the app
  • BARF supplement powder (e.g. from Napfcheck)Amount in the app

Important for main dishes: meat, a side and vegetables alone won't cover your dog's needs in the long run. Just before feeding, add an oil and a mineral and vitamin supplement to every portion, following the instructions on the pack. You can check whether the ration as a whole is right in the Food Check.

Step by step

Method

  1. Step 1: Prepare

    • Make sure the chicken thigh is boneless.
    • If there are still any bones or harder bits in there, remove them first, or at the very latest take them all out before portioning.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the rice & carrots

    • Briefly rinse the rice in a sieve until the water is no longer quite so cloudy.
    • Thinly peel the carrots if you like and cut them into the size of pieces your dog likes best.
    • For small dogs or dogs that gulp their food, cut everything smaller so it can be eaten more safely.

    Tip: A small piece of raw carrot now and then makes a great snack for many dogs, but always give it in safe-sized pieces.

  3. Step 3: Put everything in the pot

    • Put the carrots, basmati rice and chicken into the rice cooker pot.
    • Cover with water and stir once.
    • If your dog needs to lose weight or is sensitive to fat, you can trim off some of the visible fat.

    Tip: A rice cooker is handy here because it switches off automatically. With an ordinary pot, you'll need to keep more of an eye on it.

  4. Step 4: Cook

    • Start the rice cooker, or bring to the boil in a pot and then keep cooking gently.
    • Check at the end: the chicken must be cooked all the way through and the rice soft.
    • Don't cook it with any spices, salt, oil or butter.

  5. Step 5: Portion out

    • First weigh out the larger chicken pieces as specified in your recipe.
    • As the meat is tender now, you can easily break it up with a spoon.
    • Then add the rice and carrot mixture to match.

  6. Step 6: Store

    • 3-day option: keep in portions in the fridge.
    • 10-day option: freeze in portions.
    • Ideally thaw frozen portions in the fridge the day before, not at room temperature.

  7. Step 7: Serve & add supplements

    • Put the portion in the bowl.
    • Add the BARF/mineral/vitamin complete supplement and the omega-3 oil just before feeding, following the instructions on the pack.
    • If the portion comes straight from the fridge, a small splash of hot water takes the chill off.

    Tip: As the food is very soft, remember to give a suitable chew as well for dental care.
