The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food - 1kg Ox Heart Chunks

This single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust profile of essential macro and micro nutrients that support long term cardiovascular performance and vitality. Ox heart is a highly concentrated, lean muscle meat that is exceptionally rich in natural taurine, an essential amino acid crucial for maintaining strong cardiac function and healthy vision. It is also naturally loaded with high quality protein, B group vitamins (especially B12), iron, phosphorus, and selenium, which work together to facilitate muscle recovery, cellular oxygenation, and steady daily stamina. While anatomically an organ, heart is structurally a heavy muscle, meaning it contributes directly to the meat portion of your dog's bowl rather than counting toward the 10% secreting offal allowance.

As a completely boneless and offal free product, these meaty heart chunks are classified as a complementary raw food item. This makes them a highly versatile asset for experienced raw feeders who prefer a hands on DIY approach to their dogs bowls. They serve as a wonderful foundational building block for establishing personalized allergy elimination trials, balancing out high bone meals, or acting as an engaging, high reward protein rotator that satisfies your dog's primal drive to tear, chew, and process whole fresh meat.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the large whole pieces can be effortlessly sliced down for small toy breeds or left whole as an engaging chewing challenge for large and giant breeds.

Life Stage: Formulated for adult dogs and older puppies from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for active working breeds, athletic companions with high metabolic demands, or dogs requiring a clean, single protein poultry free red meat framework.

Feeding Guide and How To Use

Dietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these chunks are paired with an appropriate calcium source or raw bone, and rotated with different protein varieties per week, or supplemented with your own choice of secreting offal (like liver and kidney), seasonal fruits, and vegetables.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack and portion the chunks directly into your dog's bowl, or cut to your preferred dimensions using a sharp kitchen knife. If smaller serving amounts are required, allow the pack to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely slice, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer.

Handling and Thawing: Store at 18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 10 to 12 hours) before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat destroys the beneficial live digestive enzymes and damages the natural taurine structure.

Storage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the ox heart chunks in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.

Safe Handling: This is a raw meat product and should be handled with standard hygiene rules. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.
