Simple. Just squeeze a portion right into the dog dish. If you're using it as a topper, use less dog food and mix it in with the traditional dog food you've been using.

Does your dog prefer warm food? Add a bit of hot water or dog-safe broth to heat it up or pop it in the microwave!

Yes, we recommend you start by mixing in our food with the food your dog is used to. Gradually increase the amount of Barkivore food served while decreasing the amount of old food until you are feeding your dog 100% Barkivore food. The full transition normally takes 7 days. Gradually introducing the new food is gentler on a dog’s digestive system. You may notice a change in your dog's stool. This should resolve itself after a few days.

We do not recommend leaving Barkivore food in your dog’s bowl for more than 3 hours.

All Barkivore meals are packed with the nutrition your dog needs and cooked fully to eliminate the risk of harmful bacteria. Raw diets may put your dog’s health at risk as they do not always meet your dog’s full nutritional needs. A raw diet can also impact your dog’s dental health as bones can fracture teeth and tear up a dog’s mouth.
