Connect BARF calculator with Masterfeed subscription (2026)

With a BARF calculator and a Masterfeed subscription, you can reliably plan the daily ration for the entire month. You translate the calculated grams into fixed product quantities. This way, you avoid too much tripe, too little muscle meat, or an empty freezer before the next delivery.

Why converting to monthly quantities is important

A BARF calculator provides gram values per day. It separates muscle meat, offal, bones, and vegetables. However, these values do not directly indicate how many packages you need to order.

Those who rely solely on intuition risk shortages. A fixed shopping list translates the calculated values into the correct product quantities. This allows for monthly reordering without the need for mental calculations.

The Horse menu, vegetables, BARF, minced It combines muscle meat and vegetables in one product. This means you have to calculate fewer values than with a ration made up of individual components.

What you need before ordering

  • The BARF calculator result: Use gram values per day for muscle meat, offal, tripe or bone substitutes, and vegetables.
  • Current body weight and activity level: Both values can change after weighing.
  • A Masterfeed customer account: A saved delivery address makes ordering easier next time.
  • Nutritional information for dry BARF: Fresh meat and freeze-dried products have different weight-to-nutrient ratios.

Prepare BARF calculator results for the month

  1. Calculate the daily ration based on your dog's current weight.
  2. Divide the result into muscle meat, offal, tripe or bone substitute, and vegetables.
  3. Multiply each daily amount by the number of feeding days in the month. 30 days is typical.

Expected result: You will receive four gram values per month. Each category has its own quantity.

Translate monthly requirements into masterfeed products

Assign a specific product to each BARF category. Always round up the number of packages. Store any remaining quantities in the freezer and feed them later.

A pre-packaged meal like horse and vegetables reduces the number of ingredients. However, it then becomes impossible to fine-tune the muscle meat and vegetables separately.

BARF category Suitable Masterfeed product Best for
Muscle meat + vegetables Horse menu, vegetables, BARF, minced Dogs without separate vegetable supplementation, complete ration in one product
Offal (lungs) Beef lung in a cube Supplementing the organ component in a self-assembled ration
Rumen / Digestion The Lamb's Mantle Dogs with sensitive digestion that benefit from rumen enzymes
minerals Mineral-herb mix BARF Balancing calcium and phosphorus in rations made from single components

If the monthly value for offal is 900 grams and the Beef lung in cubes It is delivered in one-kilogram units; one pack lasts for the month. You also have a buffer for the next weigh-in.

BARF basic equipment for the monthly order

Set up repeat orders in the Masterfeed shop

Set up the order correctly once. Next month, use the same basis again and only adjust the quantities.

  1. Log in to your Masterfeed customer account.
  2. Add the calculated quantities of all products to the shopping cart.
  3. Complete your order via Checkout.
  4. Check the total quantity using your four computer categories.
  5. In the following month, use your order history and select "Reorder".
  6. Enter the delivery interval in your calendar. A four-week cycle is usually suitable.

Expected result: You can repeat a saved order with a few adjustments. You don't need to perform the entire calculation again.

Incorporate chew toys and snacks into the ordering rhythm

Chews and training treats don't belong in the BARF calculator. However, you can still include these products in the same order schedule.

  1. Estimate the weekly consumption of chew toys separately.
  2. Add the required quantity to your shopping cart before paying.
  3. Change the protein source for chewable treats every few orders.

Expected result: One order covers BARF ration, chew items, and snacks. You do not need to place separate orders.

Solving typical problems with reordering

  • The calculated result is higher than the last order quantity: Check your dog's current weight and recalculate the ration after each weigh-in.
  • At the end of the month, tripe remains: Slightly reduce the amount of rumen in your next order and increase the lung content instead.
  • Dry BARF does not match the fresh meat value: Compare the nutritional information instead of just the weight.
  • The delivery interval does not match the freezer capacity: Order smaller quantities every two weeks instead of every four weeks.
  • The dog refuses protein metabolism: Keep one protein source constant for two to three weeks, then switch slowly.

Further expand the ordering process

Compare your shopping list with your monthly budget. (See the guide to...) BARF costs per month in 2026 shows how the order affects the monthly costs.

FAQ

What is a BARF calculator and what is its purpose when ordering a master feed?

A BARF calculator determines the daily ration in grams. The values for muscle meat, offal, tripe, and vegetables form the basis for the monthly product order.

How often should I repeat the Masterfeed order?

Many pet owners order every four weeks. If freezer space is limited, smaller orders every two weeks are more practical.

Do I need to recalculate the BARF ration after every weigh-in?

Yes. If body weight changes, the daily ration also changes. A good guideline is usually 2 to 3 percent of body weight per day.

Can I combine freeze-dried raw food and fresh meat?

Generally yes, but not in a 1:1 ratio by weight. Compare the nutritional information on the packaging beforehand.

How much does BARF cost per month at Masterfeed?

The costs depend on the dog's size, activity level, and protein mix. A breakdown can be found in the guide to BARF costs per month 2026.

Is a fixed ordering routine better than spontaneous reordering?

A consistent routine reduces shortages and feeding interruptions. Spontaneous reordering often leads to shortages of offal or tripe.

Finally

Check the BARF calculator results after each weigh-in and whenever your dog's energy needs change seasonally. Dogs with a lot of activity in winter tend to need more energy than in summer. With a regular Masterfeed ordering routine, you only need to adjust the quantities instead of replanning the entire ration.
