Sourced ethically from trusted British poultry farms and prepared by the DEFRA approved Devon manufacturer, this single ingredient selection features whole, fresh turkey hearts packed completely intact in their natural state. This presentation departs entirely from uniform fine minces or generic purees, aligning perfectly with a committed philosophy of offering honest, unadulterated food components. This grants dedicated raw feeders complete freedom to use the hearts whole to encourage instinctual chewing behaviors or slice, weigh, and distribute individual portions to hit precise ancestral dietary targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the structural matrix of canine ancestral nutrition, heart tissue is classified strictly as a lean muscle meat rather than a filtering or secreting offal. Because the heart is a hardworking muscle, it contributes directly toward the 80% muscle meat allocation of your dog's bowl. Turkey hearts deliver an incredibly robust nutritional profile that supports long term cardiovascular health, physical stamina, and muscular development. They are naturally loaded with exceptionally high levels of natural taurine, an essential amino acid necessary for maintaining healthy cardiac function and preventing dilated cardiomyopathy. Additionally, they provide a dense foundation of bioavailable iron, zinc, selenium, and vital B group vitamins (especially vitamin B12) to promote optimal muscle recovery and cellular energy release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a completely boneless and offal free product, these whole hearts are classified as a complementary raw food item that provides ultimate flexibility for a hands on DIY raw feeding philosophy. They possess a firm, dense, and remarkably chewy consistency that dogs find completely fascinating to process, satisfying an evolutionary drive to chew while introducing excellent structural variation to the bowl. Sourcing from turkey makes this product an outstanding poultry option for dogs navigating common food allergies or systemic intolerances triggered by chicken or beef, acting as an intensely flavourful, highly aromatic natural appetite booster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs, working dogs, and cats. Strictly not for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreed Size: All breeds and sizes; the medium, whole turkey hearts can be effortlessly handed as individual treats to cats and toy breeds, or fed whole to medium, large, and giant breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife Stage: Formulated for adult pets and older puppies or kittens from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for dogs requiring a strict single protein diet, active working breeds needing a taurine-rich muscle meat foundation, and animals thriving on a chicken free poultry routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guide and How To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaily Serving: As a general guide, feed approximately 2% to 3% of your adult dog's ideal body weight per day, preferably split across two daily meals. Adjust the exact portion based on your pet's activity workload, age, metabolic rate, and physical condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless muscle meat ingredient. While it is an organ anatomically, it counts toward the 80% muscle meat portion of an ancestral diet. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these hearts are paired with an appropriate calcium source or raw bone (10%), and rotated with different protein varieties, alongside a proper 10% allocation of liver and secreting offal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Strategy: Serve straight from thawed or dehydrated. Simply open the 1kg pack and portion the individual hearts directly into your pet's bowl. They can also be fed fully frozen on warm days as a refreshing, long lasting treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome Dehydration Option: This product is an exceptional candidate for home dehydration. Owners can slice the turkey hearts into thin strips or coins and dry them in a food dehydrator or a low temperature oven to create highly aromatic, crisp, and completely natural high value training treats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling and Thawing: Store at -18 degrees Celsius and keep frozen until ready for use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product for raw feeding, as heat completely destroys the delicate live digestive enzymes, alters the natural protein matrix, and degrades the natural taurine content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the turkey hearts in a sealed container in the base of the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw poultry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54556205842766,"sku":"TDBTH","price":6.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/TurkeyHearts.png?v=1787828659","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-turkey-hearts-1kg","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
