What goes in the bowl

Ingredients

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

  • RabbitAmount in the app
  • RiceAmount in the app
  • CourgetteAmount 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 rabbit meat is boneless.
    • With rabbit, please check especially carefully that there really are no bits of bone left in the meat.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the rice & courgette

    • Briefly rinse the rice in a sieve until the water is no longer quite so cloudy.
    • Wash the courgette, trim off the ends and cut it into suitable pieces.
    • For small dogs or dogs that gulp their food, cut everything smaller so it can be eaten more safely.

    Tip: Courgette is pleasantly mild for many dogs, so it is often well tolerated.

  3. Step 3: Put everything in the pot

    • Put the courgette, rice and rabbit into the rice cooker pot or an ordinary saucepan.
    • Cover with water and stir once.

  4. Step 4: Cook

    • Start the rice cooker, or bring to the boil once in a pot and then keep cooking gently.
    • Check at the end: the rabbit 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 rabbit meat as specified in your recipe.
    • Then add the rice and courgette mixture to match.
    • If there are any larger pieces of meat, you can break them up smaller now.

  6. Step 6: Store

    • 3-day option: keep in portions in the fridge.
    • 10-day option: freeze in portions.
    • Thaw frozen portions slowly in the fridge.

  7. Step 7: Serve & add supplements

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

    Tip: With sensitive dogs in particular, it's worth keeping a close eye on them for the first few days when you introduce a new protein source like rabbit.
