Barf supplements for dogs and cats. Spirulina and chlorella for horses. 

Our barf supplements - not just for dogs and cats 

A barf diet is not only an excellent choice for dogs and cats, but also for some other animals. algova offers dried microalgae as barf supplements to meet the varied nutritional needs of dogs, cats, horses and livestock. For larger animals such as horses, our supplements provide an excellent source of essential nutrients to maintain health and performance. The same is true for various farm animals: the products can support the demanding nutritional requirements necessary to maintain strength and vitality in agriculture. We are certified for animal feed, which means that our products are subject to strict quality controls and are safe for use in livestock farming - an important factor for farmers and livestock owners. At algova, we aim to provide not only pet owners, but also farmers and horse owners with first-class pet food and barf supplements. Our products are not only nutritious and healthy, but also free from unnecessary additives, preservatives and fillers and are a natural and safe choice for many animal species.

Why are healthy barf supplements so important? 

Barf (organic, species-appropriate raw feeding) has many benefits for dogs and cats. These include promoting a natural diet and reducing allergens. However, although fresh meat is an excellent source of protein, it does not meet all the nutritional needs of pets. This is where barf supplements and food supplements play a crucial role in ensuring that pets receive a balanced diet.

1. Vitamins: While fresh meat is rich in vitamins, vitamin D and certain B vitamins in particular are less available there. They are important for the health of the skin, coat and bones. A vitamin deficiency can lead to serious health problems, such as rickets-like illnesses if vitamin D levels are too low. They should therefore be given to dogs, cats and other animals as a barf supplement. 
2. Minerals: Elements such as calcium and phosphorus, which are required in a particular ratio, are often not balanced enough in pure meat. Calcium in particular, which is important for strong bones and teeth, is almost completely lacking. Too much phosphorus without enough calcium can impair bone health.
3. Trace elements: Iron, zinc, copper and selenium are examples of trace elements that must be added as supplements through barf supplements to avoid deficiencies. They influence functions such as immune defense, wound healing and reproduction.
4. Unsaturated fatty acids: While some fats come directly from meat, omega-3 fatty acids are often insufficient. They reduce inflammation and support cognitive function. Supplements can help to achieve the right ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. algova offers algoBARF, a product that covers the omega-3 requirements of dogs and cats.

Nutritional supplements with algae powder: providing dogs and cats with an optimum supply of nutrients

Algae powder plays a particularly important role among algova's barf supplements. Our product range includes high-quality algae such as spirulina, schizochytrium and chlorella, which are traditionally used as natural food supplements for dogs and cats. These powders are valued not only for their nutrient density, but also for their many health benefits. Algae are a particularly valuable barf supplement as they are a concentrated source of many important nutrients. Their high content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3, contributes to healthy skin and coat, while their rich complex of vitamin B12 and carotenoids boosts general vitality and the immune system. In addition, algae contain important minerals such as iron. 

By adding algae as a barf supplement, owners can ensure that their pets receive a more comprehensive nutrient supply. It is important to us that these high-quality algae products are easy to use and perfectly dosable so that they can be easily integrated into any barf routine. You are welcome to request a product sample to test it and see if your pet likes the supplement.

Spirulina, microalgae & co.

Organic Spirulina powder is known for its high content of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and proteins. The high content of phycocyanin, a natural pigment that not only has antioxidant properties but can also strengthen the immune system, is particularly valuable. Spirulina powder also supports dogs and cats as a barf supplement for intestinal health and can help to improve the natural colour intensity and shine of the coat. 

Schizochytrium is a microalgae that is particularly valued for its exceptionally high content of omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). DHA is important for cognitive development and maintaining brain health. Schizochytrium is an ideal barf supplement for pets that may not be getting enough omega-3 from their usual diet. 

Organic Chlorella powder is another algae product known for its cleansing properties. It is rich in chlorophyll, iron and beta-1,3-glucans, which can support the immune system and help detoxify the body. Organic Chlorella promotes digestion and helps to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the body.

Shrimps for dogs and cats as a perfect training snack 

Freshwater shrimps are not only an excellent pet food supplement for koi  and water turtles, but also perfect training treats for our four-legged pets. Thanks to their gentle and strictly controlled freeze-drying, nutrients are almost completely preserved. The shrimps provide an excellent source of high-quality protein and important fibre in addition to the barf additives. This makes them a healthy and natural food supplement - cats and dogs are sure to enjoy this little delicacy. 

The premium freshwater shrimps from algova come from extensive aquaculture, are sieved several times and are free from impurities and excessive abrasion. This makes them not only a tasty but also a safe snack for dogs and cats. Prawns, barf supplements and all other algova products are packaged in flavour-protective packaging and guarantee freshness and quality every time they are fed.
