Moon phases & feeding – raw feeding in the rhythm of nature

In nature, everything has its rhythm. We—and our animals—are also part of these cycles. Those who live mindfully will notice that the moon influences more than just the ebb and flow of the tides. It affects our bodies, our minds, our digestion, and even the way we eat—and give food.
How can you incorporate this natural cycle into your dog's diet? In this article, you'll learn how to create a BARF diet in harmony with the moon and thus feed your dog even more energetically.

🌑 New Moon – New Beginning, Relief & Cleansing
Topic: Relief, retreat, new beginning Feeding:
* Easily digestible meals
* Less offal, no heavy tripe
* Digestive herbs (e.g. dandelion, fennel)

✨Tip: The new moon is also energetically well suited for small fasting impulses or for feeding bitter substances or healing additives.

🌓 Waxing moon – building, nutrient absorption, gathering strength
Topic: Absorption, strengthening, regeneration Feeding:
* Rich BARF rations (including offal & bones)
* Building nutrients (e.g. Omega-3 oils, salmon, eggshell powder)
* Strengthening the immune system through herbs such as rosehip or nettle

✨Tip: Now is the best time for building up your dog’s energy or supporting skin, coat & joints.

🌕 Full Moon – Abundance, intensity & emotional opening
Topic: Energy, emotions, intensity & letting go Feeding:
* Calm, familiar ingredients, do not experiment
* No day for feed changes – animals are often more sensitive
* Herbs for grounding & calming (e.g. lemon balm, chamomile, lavender)

✨Tip: A mindful feeding ritual with intention and gratitude can have a particularly profound impact today—ideal for consciously set affirmations like: "I nourish you with love and trust."

🌗 Waning Moon – Detoxification, letting go, cleansing
Topic: Detoxification, elimination, reconsideration Feeding:
* Support liver & kidney (e.g. milk thistle, dandelion root, nettle)
* Tripe & omasum for intestinal care

✨Tip: Use this phase for small treatments, such as intestinal cleansing or accompanying the coat change.

In harmony with the moon – intuitive, mindful and nurturing.
