They can prepare three types:What is the bone percentage of the BARF formulation? A raw fed cat should not be straining to defecate or constipated in the least on a raw diet and when it does happen it is almost always do to an excessive bone ratio. Excessive bone can cause a serious mineral imbalance and significant health consequences as a result.
And what sort of vegetables are in the mix and in what percentage? Carbohydrates from plants can cause weight gain and contribute to a lack of energy.
What are the mix of organs and offal, and in what percentages?
I'm very supportive of raw feeding--done correctly--and feed a raw diet to my cat (and dog), but am mindful the risks from unbalanced BARF formulations.

1. For fish: 50% lean fish meat, 20% meaty bone, usually from chicken, 10% viscera or guts, that can be from chicken or fish, and 20% heart
2. For chicken: 70% chicken meat with bones, 10% guts and 20% heart all from chicken
3. For meat: same percentage as fish, but it's 50% lean meat from veal
It’s all 100% coming from animals, nothing is coming from plants.
The company is certified by National Service of Animal Health and the Ministry of Health. And their main nutritionist has been studying for years on creating a well balanced BARF formulation.
After my post, I reached out to the distributor and she kindly gave me the personal contact information of the nutricionist with his consent. I will take the feedback provided here into consideration when I’m ready to pick his brains
