Why Choose Beef Heart For Your Dog?

The wolf (our dogs' ancestor) in the wild thrives on a raw diet and this not only includes meat, but also includes the organs, bones, fat, and blood of its prey. It's this type of complete raw diet that drives their health.

Although beef heart is technically considered an organ, it's a muscle just like a cut of beef you would use as a roast or a steak. But because it is so intricately involved with the cardiovascular system and blood flow, it is much more dense in nutrient content and additional protein.

It's ingredients like beef heart that add vital nutrients to our dogs' diet that they can't get through meat alone.

The Health Benefits of Beef Heart

High In Protein - Healthy dogs require a good amount of protein in their diet to support muscular health as well as a healthy coat and skin. Beef heart is higher in protein than standard cuts of meat.

Rich In Coenzyme Q10 - Also known as COQ10, this nutrient acts as an antioxidant in the body. It's vital for boosting energy, supporting the immune and cardiovascular systems, and fights free radicals that damage DNA and can cause disease.

High In Vitamins and Minerals - A variety of vitamins and minerals from food are needed for a dog to maintain overall health. Beef heart contains numerous B vitamins, lycopene, iron, phosphorous, selenium, and zinc which help support everything from heart health and the immune system to cognitive function and a healthy metabolism.

Rich In Collagen and Elastin - Collagen and elastin are proteins that are essential in maintaining healthy skin. Healthy skin, in turn, helps to support a healthy coat.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY TREATS

Many commercial pet treats are packed with grains, fillers, and byproducts. On top of this, they're processed in a high-heat manufacturing process just like dry kibble. So not only are they full of ingredients your dog doesn't need, the good ingredients have had their nutritional value cooked out during the manufacturing process.

Veterinarians say that treats should make up no more than 10% of our dogs' diets. While this is a good rule to follow, many pet parents just can't resist giving their fur babies extra treats throughout the day.

But regardless of how often or how much you treat your dog, those calories are an important part of your dog's diet. Making sure your dog treats are high quality and nutritious is important and will only help to support their overall health.
