Aniforte Barf Complete Dog

Raw feeding done well is a balancing exercise, and the part people most often get wrong is not the meat — it is the minerals and micronutrients that a whole-prey diet would have supplied and a bowl of mince does not. That gap is what this powder exists to fill.

AniForte build it from a ground herb mixture — nettle leaves, blackberry leaves, camomile, dandelion root and milk thistle fruit — with ground brewer's yeast, linseed cake flour, ground seaweed lime, ground eggshell powder, moringa powder and seaweed flour. It is a powder that mixes into a meal rather than anything to prepare, and although AniForte designed it with raw-fed dogs in mind they state it can be used to enhance any dog's meal. It suits dogs from 16 weeks of age.

A supplement is not a substitute for getting the diet right. AniForte state this covers a dog's daily vitamin and mineral requirements, and that is their claim rather than ours — no analytical constituents have been supplied to us, so we cannot tell you the level of anything in it. If you are raw feeding, the sensible thing is a properly balanced plan rather than a bag of meat plus a powder, and a vet or a qualified canine nutritionist is the person to build one. This is a useful addition to a considered diet, not a way of avoiding having one.

Who it's for: raw feeders who want the micronutrient side covered, and anyone whose dog eats a home-prepared diet.
