100% Canadian Beef Heart. Not only do cats and dogs love it, it is jammed packed with health benefits. Did you know feeding heart is actually good for the heart, along with many other benefits!
Feeding raw heart to cats and dogs can be beneficial because it's a nutrient-dense muscle organ meat that provides several key nutrients they need for optimal health. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits:
Rich in Protein: Heart muscle meat is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle development, repair, and overall energy. Both cats and dogs, being obligate carnivores (cats) or carnivorous omnivores (dogs), benefit from high-protein diets.
Taurine for Cats: Taurine is an amino acid that’s crucial for cats, as they can't synthesize it on their own like dogs can. Raw heart meat, especially from beef or chicken, is a good natural source of taurine, which supports heart health, vision, and overall cellular function.
Rich in Nutrients: Heart is packed with essential vitamins and minerals like B-vitamins (especially B12), iron, zinc, and phosphorus, all of which are critical for maintaining healthy bodily functions, energy production, and immunity. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Heart tissue is also a natural source of CoQ10, an antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy production at the cellular level. CoQ10 supports cardiovascular health by helping heart cells produce the energy they need to function properly. It has been linked to better heart function and may help improve circulation and reduce oxidative stress on the heart.
Fatty Acids: It contains healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which help with skin and coat health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function.
Easily Digestible: Organ meats like the heart are typically easy for pets to digest, providing them with highly bioavailable nutrients.
While raw heart is nutrient-rich, it should only be a part of a balanced diet, not just exclusively.
