Kann man BARF nach Österreich bestellen?

Ja, BARF-Versand nach Österreich läuft ohne Zollformalitäten, weil Deutschland und Österreich beide EU-Mitgliedstaaten sind. Land und Lieferadresse müssen in der Kasse nur übereinstimmen.

Kann man BARF-Rohfutter in die Schweiz versenden lassen?

Ja, aber die Schweiz ist kein EU-Mitglied, deshalb können bei der Einfuhr zusätzliche Formalitäten anfallen. Trockenbarf reist dabei unkomplizierter als gefrorenes Frischfleisch.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Trockenbarf und frischem BARF beim Versand?

Frisches BARF wird gewolft und tiefgefroren versendet und braucht eine Kühlkette. Trockenbarf ist gefriergetrocknet und reist wie ein normales Trockenprodukt, ohne Kühlpack.

Was passiert, wenn die Lieferadresse nicht mit dem gewählten Land übereinstimmt?

Die Bestellung lässt sich nicht abschließen. Land im Dropdown und Adresse müssen exakt zusammenpassen, sonst bricht der Kassenschritt ab.

Wie richte ich eine wiederholte BARF-Bestellung ein?

Nutzen Sie die Bestellübersicht im Kundenkonto, um eine frühere Bestellung erneut aufzugeben. Land und Lieferadresse bleiben dabei hinterlegt.

Welche BARF-Menüs sind für empfindliche Hunde geeignet?

Monoprotein-Menüs mit nur einer Fleischsorte wie Pferd oder Rind sind die übliche Wahl bei Futtermittelunverträglichkeiten, weil sie weniger potenzielle Allergene enthalten.

Braucht eine BARF-Ration zusätzliche Mineralstoffe?

Ja, reines Muskelfleisch allein deckt Calcium- und Phosphorbedarf nicht. Ein Mineral- oder Kräutermix gleicht die Ration aus.

BARF shipping to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland 2026: Expiry

Those who want to order BARF raw food for their dog across national borders often fail not because of the selection, but at checkout: wrong country selected, delivery address incorrect, shipment gets stuck at the Swiss border. Masterfeed's BARF shipping to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland follows a standardized process of country selection, product choice, and payment, which can be set up in just a few minutes and will be available for all three countries by 2026.

TL;DR

BARF shipping to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland relies on country and address verification at checkout – without this, the order will be cancelled.
Germany and Austria are both EU members: no customs formalities are required for BARF shipments between these two countries.
For Switzerland, freeze-dried BARF, like chicken hearts, is easier to transport than frozen BARF.
Reordering via the order overview saves time if the dog is permanently fed a BARF diet.

Why this is important

BARF raw feeding has been growing as a feeding method for years, but shipping across countries brings its own rules. Masterfeed delivers BARF menus, dry BARF and natural chew items to Germany, Austria and Switzerland – three markets with different customs status.

Germany and Austria are both EU member states, so goods traded between them do not require customs declarations. Switzerland is not an EU member, therefore additional formalities and duties may apply upon import – you can find the exact regulations and current rates on the Swiss customs website. Knowing this beforehand allows you to order more strategically instead of wondering why a shipment is taking longer than expected after delivery.

Before you start

A customer account with Masterfeed with a delivery address that is located exactly in the destination country (Germany, Austria or Switzerland).
The decision of whether your dog should receive fresh, minced BARF or dried BARF determines how straightforward shipping across the border will be.
The stumbling block that blocks most orders: The country selected in the checkout dropdown menu must exactly match the delivery address. If you select "Switzerland" but enter a German postal code, the order will be cancelled instead of simply being delivered incorrectly.

“The country and delivery address must match exactly – otherwise the BARF order will be cancelled at checkout.”

Set country and delivery address

Open your shopping cart and click on To checkout.
Choose from Country/Region Germany, Austria or Switzerland from the dropdown menu.
Enter the street, house number, postal code and city, and check that the address is correct for the selected country.

Expected result: Shipping costs and the payment methods available for your country will be displayed automatically once the country and address match.

Selecting BARF products for your dog

Create one or more menus such as Horse meat with vegetables (BARF, minced) Add to Cart.
For sensitive dogs, look for monoprotein recipes with only one type of meat.
If necessary, add a mineral or herbal mix to ensure the ration remains balanced – pure muscle meat without additives does not cover all nutrients in the long term.

Expected result: The shopping cart displays all selected items with total weight and subtotal before you proceed to payment.

Complete order and select payment

Click on Proceed to payment.
Select the payment method displayed for your country.
Confirm with Complete order.

Expected result: You will receive an order confirmation via email with the delivery details for your respective country – Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

Dry raw meat instead of fresh meat: the alternative for Austria and Switzerland

Frozen, ground BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) requires a cold chain. Within Germany and Austria, this is not a problem as they are part of the EU single market, but for Switzerland, as a non-EU country, longer transport distances for frozen goods can pose a risk.

Dry BARF solves this problem because it travels like a normal dry product – without a cooling pack, without time pressure during delivery. Chicken hearts freeze-dried dry raw food This is an example of this: freeze-dried instead of deep-frozen, so that the shipment remains stable even during longer transit times.

For orders within Germany: Ground BARF is the standard choice, short transport routes, no customs issues. Buy.
For Austria: Ground BARF works the same way, since it's an EU internal market. Buy.
For Switzerland: Dry BARF is the lower-risk option when delivery times are longer. Recommended.

Repeat regular BARF orders

Once your dog's feeding plan is established, you don't need to create a new one each time. Use the order overview in your customer account to reorder a previous BARF order with the same shopping cart – the country and delivery address will remain saved as long as nothing has changed.

Each time you repeat the feeding, briefly check whether the amount is appropriate for your dog's current feeding phase. A growing puppy will need different portions in 2026 than a fully grown dog in the same year.

Common problems with BARF shipping and solutions

Problem: The order cannot be completed. The country in the dropdown menu and the delivery address do not match. Please change the country, re-enter the address, and check the postal code and city for typos.

Problem: The payment method for Switzerland is not displayed. The country in the cash register is still set to Germany or Austria, only the language has been left on German. Please explicitly change the country to Switzerland.

Problem: A shipment to Austria is taking longer than expected despite its EU membership. The problem is usually an incomplete address. Please check the house number and floor information before completing your order.

Problem: Frozen BARF is thawed upon arrival. For longer transport routes, such as to more distant regions of Switzerland, dry raw food is the more stable choice than minced fresh food.

Problem: The ration contains only meat, no minerals. Add a mineral or herbal mix to the ration to ensure adequate calcium and phosphorus intake – pure muscle meat alone does not cover this.

Here's how to further expand your BARF feeding regimen

Once you've set up BARF shipping to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, you can expand your feeding options: monoprotein menus for sensitive dogs, freeze-dried BARF for travel or long delivery routes, and natural chews to supplement meals. Masterfeed BARF menus contain up to 90% meat – significantly more than many commercially available wet food options.

Yes, BARF shipping to Austria is processed without customs formalities because Germany and Austria are both EU member states. The country and delivery address simply need to match at checkout.

Is it possible to ship BARF raw food to Switzerland?

Yes, but Switzerland is not an EU member, so additional formalities may apply upon import. Dry raw meat travels more easily than frozen fresh meat.

What is the difference between freeze-dried BARF and fresh BARF when shipping?

Fresh BARF is ground and shipped frozen and requires a cold chain. Freeze-dried BARF travels like a normal dry product, without a cooling pack.

One more thing

The raw materials for BARF shipments to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland come from production in Mühlen, Lower Saxony – so those ordering from northern Germany naturally have the shortest route between production and food bowl. For orders to Switzerland, opting for dehydrated BARF options will be worthwhile in 2026, as soon as the delivery route across the border takes longer than a few days.
