Barf while traveling – is that even possible?

Many experienced BARF dog owners are faced with the question at some point: "How do I manage feeding on vacation?" Raw meat, refrigeration, hygiene – sounds stressful? It doesn't have to be. In this article, I'll show you how to feed your dog on the go in a biologically appropriate, healthy, and as stress-free way as possible – all while staying focused on you and your dog.

BARF on the go – an overview of your options
There is no single solution – but many approaches that may suit you and your dog:

✨ Option 1: Take your own pre-packaged and frozen food with you – ideal for car trips, holiday apartments with a freezer compartment – ​​pre-portion daily rations, vacuum seal them or freeze them in airtight containers – cool box with power connection or compressor cool box in the car.

✨ Option 2: Shop locally and prepare fresh food – Research a regional butcher, market or raw food shop – Especially easy to do in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

✨ Option 3: Dry BARF consists of air-dried or freeze-dried meat, offal, bones, dried vegetables, herbs, and supplements, and is rehydrated with water before feeding. It's not raw meat, but close to BARF: convenient, can be stored without refrigeration, and is ideal for short trips. Discover our Fresco dry BARF range here .

✨ Option 4: Switch to a high-quality alternative – High-quality wet or dry food for 3–5 days is no problem. Important: Test beforehand to see if your dog tolerates the alternative food well – then gently transition back to BARF. Discover our high-quality Terra Canis wet food menus here .
