BARFLAB: Raw Feeding

BARFLAB is a science-based raw feeding and homemade diet calculator for dogs and cats. Build BARF, raw, cooked or steamed meal plans, adjust ingredient amounts and see how every change affects energy, nutrients and key ratios.

CREATE THE DIET YOUR WAY
Start with a blank plan and choose every ingredient yourself. If you want a starting point, the optional Diet Generator can prepare a proposal that remains fully editable. It is not a chatbot, and it does not use a language model to invent a recipe. A dedicated calculation engine works with nutritional data and diet constraints.

ANALYZE 68 PARAMETERS LIVE
BARFLAB analyzes 68 parameters as you edit the diet. Review energy, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and important proportions without moving between spreadsheets. Clear ranges help you notice what may need attention.

COMPARE AVAILABLE REFERENCE VALUES
For parameters covered by any of the three references, BARFLAB compares the analysis result with the available MR, RA and SUL values from NRC 2006, FEDIAF 2021 and AAFCO 2023. All three references remain visible separately and at the same time; if one does not define a threshold, BARFLAB does not treat the missing value as zero.

USE A RICH FOOD AND SUPPLEMENT DATABASE
Build plans from a broad collection of meats, organs, bones, fish, vegetables, add-ons and supplements. See which products contribute most to a selected parameter, then change the diet and review the result immediately. Check product values and whether the data comes from a source or an estimate.

RAW, COOKED AND STEAMED
Cooking can change the nutrient content of food. BARFLAB supports raw, cooked and steamed plans and uses nutrient-retention estimates to help evaluate the meal after preparation, not only before it. These estimates support planning and are not laboratory measurements.

TOOLS FOR PRACTICAL DIET PLANNING
• create separate profiles for dogs and cats
• build a plan manually or edit an optional generated proposal
• change grams and see the whole analysis update
• check proportions such as Ca:P and omega-6:omega-3
• compare values per 100 g, per day, per diet period and per 1000 kcal
• identify the main food sources behind each result
• use BARFLAB Score as a quick overview, then inspect the details

BARFLAB is a planning and analysis tool for pet nutrition. It does not replace veterinary advice or diagnose, prevent or treat disease. For puppies, kittens, pregnancy, lactation, medical conditions or therapeutic diets, consult a veterinarian or qualified animal nutrition professional.
