Iron helps carry oxygen in the blood of dogs and cats on a BARF diet. This ranking lists ingredients by their iron content per 100 g.

Values per 100 g

Note: the ranking shows nutrient content per 100 g of product, not a recommended amount in the diet. In practice what matters is the safe dose, digestibility, the product's share of the whole recipe, and the balance per 1000 kcal. Spices, nuts, and seeds can rank high per 100 g but are usually used in small amounts.
