The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food - Chicken Hearts 1kg

This single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust profile of essential macro and micro nutrients that support long term metabolic conditioning and physical stamina. Structurally, the heart is a dense, hard working muscle meat rather than a filtering organ, meaning it contributes directly to the 80% muscle meat portion of your dogs bowl rather than counting toward the 10% secreting offal allocation. Chicken hearts are an outstanding natural source of preformed taurine, an essential amino acid critical for maintaining powerful cardiac function, healthy vascular architecture, and excellent central vision. They are also naturally loaded with high quality protein, essential fatty acids, bioavailable iron, zinc, and B group vitamins that facilitate optimal cellular energy release and steady daily stamina.

As a completely boneless and offal free product, these whole chicken hearts are classified as a complementary raw food item. This provides ultimate flexibility for raw feeding enthusiasts who practice the hands on DIY approach or follow standard ancestral prey model templates. Because they are intensely rich, the manufacturer recommends introducing them to the diet slowly if your pet is new to raw feeding to ensure a smooth digestive transition. They serve as an exceptional building block for balancing out bone heavy meals, conducting managed poultry elimination trials, or acting as an engaging, high reward snack that satisfies your dogs primal drive for fresh muscle cuts.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the small, uniform size of chicken hearts makes them effortlessly manageable for toy breed dogs and felines, while providing a highly rewarding, textured addition for large and giant breeds.

Life Stage: Formulated for adult pets and older puppies or kittens from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for active working breeds with high caloric demands, pets requiring targeted cardiovascular support, or animals thriving on a clean poultry routine.

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 hearts 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 (such as liver and kidney), seasonal fruits, and vegetables.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack and portion the whole hearts directly into your pets bowl. If smaller serving amounts are required, allow the pack to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely separate, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer. They can also be served frozen solid as a crunchy summer snack or high value training reward.

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 completely destroys the delicate live digestive enzymes and alters the natural structure of the meat.

Storage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the chicken hearts 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 poultry product and should be handled with standard hygiene practices. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.
