Barca Premium is suitable for all dog breeds. However, it is important to take into account
your dog’s size and age when selecting the right variety (for example, Barca Premium Mini,
Barca Premium Pup/Junior, Barca Premium Adult, or Barca Premium Senior). Additionally,
Barca Premium Lamb is available for dogs with allergies or sensitive digestion. This ensures
the food perfectly meets your dog’s specific nutritional needs.

For the correct feeding amount, please refer to the feeding chart on our website. This chart
provides a detailed overview of the recommended daily portions based on your dog’s weight
and activity level. It is always advisable to visually assess your dog’s body condition and
adjust the feeding amount accordingly, as individual requirements may vary.

Yes, Barca Premium is suitable for dogs of all activity levels (active, average, or calm). The
portion size can easily be adjusted to meet your dog’s individual energy needs. We support
dog owners with clear feeding guidelines and a practical measuring cup.

Barca Premium is excellent as a complete main diet. However, supplements may be added
to enrich your dog’s daily nutrition. Other foods, such as Barca canned wet food or Zoolekker
long-life sausages, also make great alternatives for adding variety to your dog’s meals.

Barca Premium Adult is carefully formulated with pre-cooked grains and poultry as its main
ingredients, complemented by other essential nutrients to create a complete and balanced
meal.

Barca Premium Adult contains a combination of animal proteins (such as chicken and beef)
and plant-based proteins (derived from corn and oats, among others) to provide a broad and
balanced amino acid profile.

All raw materials and ingredients used in Barca Premium are sourced in the Netherlands.

Grains are an important source of energy and nutrients for dogs. Barca Premium includes
specific, 100% pre-cooked grains such as oats and corn. These provide slow-release
carbohydrates that dogs can efficiently convert into long-lasting energy. A well-balanced
canine diet includes not only meat but also other valuable nutrients such as high-quality
grains and dietary fiber.

Simply put, pre-cooked grains are gently heat-treated to improve digestibility. Because dogs
have a shorter digestive tract than humans, these grains are easier for their bodies to absorb
and utilize efficiently.

No, Barca Premium is completely free from artificial additives.

Cold-pressed kibbles, such as those from Barca Premium, are produced using lower
temperatures compared to extruded kibbles. This gentle process helps preserve the natural
nutrients in the ingredients, allowing your dog to benefit from them to the fullest.

Cold-pressed kibbles expand very little in the stomach, unlike traditional crunchy kibbles that
can swell after eating. This makes Barca Premium potentially suitable for dogs that are prone
to bloating or sensitive stomachs. It can also be a smart choice for breeds that are at risk of
gastric torsion (bloat).

Yes, Barca Premium is particularly suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs or intestines.
This is partly due to the use of pre-cooked grains, which enhance digestibility. Many of our
customers with dogs that have sensitive digestion report positive results when feeding our
cold-pressed kibbles. Cold-pressed food is often perceived as gentler on the stomach,
contributing to a more comfortable digestion for your dog.

Barca Premium consists of a compact kibble with a concentrated and balanced formulation.
This ensures that the nutrients are efficiently absorbed by the dog’s body, resulting in fewer
waste products and therefore less stool. It also means that dogs require relatively smaller
portions to obtain all the necessary nutrients.

Yes, Barca Premium contains ingredients such as salmon oil (rich in Omega-3 fatty acids)
and inulin, which help support a healthy skin and a shiny coat.

De lichtere kleur van Barca Premium Senior komt doordat er geen bloedmeel in verwerkt is. Blood meal is an animal by-product that may be present in other Barca Premium kibble varieties but has been deliberately omitted from the Senior and Lamb formulas.

If your dog doesn’t want to eat the kibble, it’s important to first consider other factors that
might influence this behavior. Often, the cause is not the food itself but external
circumstances — such as changes in environment, weather conditions, or household
routines.

If your dog skips a meal occasionally, this is usually not a cause for concern. However, if the
issue persists, it’s advisable to look at internal factors as well. Ask yourself whether your dog
is visibly aging, having difficulty with daily activities, drinking enough water, or showing other
changes in behavior. If you’re concerned about your dog’s health, we recommend consulting
your veterinarian.

For dogs with allergies or food intolerances, there is Barca Premium Lamb. This formula
contains lamb as the only animal protein source, making it a hypoallergenic diet.

Because Barca Premium Lamb contains only one animal protein source, the likelihood of
allergic reactions is significantly reduced.

Yes. Although it is a single-protein diet, Barca Premium Lamb provides all essential nutrients.
It is therefore fully suitable as a complete daily food.

This variant is ideal for dogs with food allergies or intolerances, dogs with sensitive stomachs
or intestines, and for owners who consciously choose a hypoallergenic kibble.

An elimination diet is a test period, usually lasting 6–8 weeks, during which your dog is fed
only one protein source that it has not consumed before. Snacks and other foods are strictly
avoided. This helps identify potential food allergies or intolerances.

Feed your dog only Barca Premium Lamb for at least six weeks. Avoid snacks, chews, and
other types of food. Observe whether symptoms such as itching, diarrhea, or skin irritation
decrease. After the test period, you can carefully reintroduce other protein sources to see if
any allergic reaction occurs.
