Solution Zing is formulated specifically for dogs showing signs of Blood deficiency and Qi deficiency. In TCVM, Blood is the body's liquid, nourishing aspect; when Blood is insufficient, the tissues, tendons, organs, skin, and senses it nourishes become dry, weak, and depleted. The formula's blood-building, warming ingredient profile directly addresses this pattern.
In TCVM, Blood is the material foundation of the Shen (spirit). When Blood is deficient, the Shen loses its anchor and becomes unsettled, fearful, or emotionally flat. Solution Zing's blood-building formula addresses the constitutional root of several emotional presentations.
From a Western nutritional perspective, Solution Zing delivers one of the most nutrient-dense whole-food profiles in the PET | TAO line, with multiple organ meats, iron-rich leafy greens, and anti-inflammatory omega-3 sources that directly address the physiological correlates of Blood deficiency.
Each main ingredient in Solution Zing was selected for its dual role in building Blood and delivering targeted Western nutrition.
PET | TAO Solution Zing is built on a foundational principle of TCVM food therapy: Blood is the material basis of life. Where Harmony Beef maintains balance in healthy dogs, and Solution Chill restores it in Heat-excess dogs, Solution Zing actively rebuilds Blood and Qi in dogs whose constitutions have been depleted by illness, chronic deficiency, or the demands of recovery.
The "Like Treats Like" principle of TCVM food therapy is most visible in this formula: chicken liver nourishes the Liver, beef heart nourishes the Heart, and beef liver reinforces Liver Blood - each organ meat working on its corresponding organ system while simultaneously delivering the Western nutrients those organs are richest in. This is not a coincidence; it reflects the deep alignment between ancient TCVM food wisdom and modern nutritional science.
Blood deficiency is one of the most common patterns in dogs with chronic illness, those recovering from surgery or cancer treatment, and aging dogs who have gradually depleted their constitutional reserves. The classic presentation is a dog who seems dull, startles easily, has a dry or thinning coat, cracked paw pads, weak or injured tendons, and struggles to settle emotionally. Solution Zing addresses this pattern at its root - using food to rebuild the Blood that nourishes every tissue, tendon, organ, and sense in the body.
All PET | TAO products are formulated with natural ingredients specifically chosen to support your pet's energetic balance. It is always better to feed for a purpose.
Solution Zing is a blood-building therapeutic diet for dogs showing signs of Blood and Qi deficiency: dullness or low energy, nervousness or startling easily, insomnia, trembling, dry or thinning coat, cracked paw pads, dry eyes, premature greying, hair loss, cruciate or ligament injuries, or dogs recovering from illness, spleen removal, or cancer treatment. It is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding, and PET | TAO founding veterinarians often recommend it long-term alongside PET | TAO Daily Vitamins.
In TCVM, Blood nourishes the tendons, skin, eyes, coat, organs, and the Shen (spirit). When Blood is deficient, every tissue it nourishes becomes dry, weak, or undernourished. Solution Zing uses the "Like Treats Like" principle - chicken liver and beef liver to nourish Liver Blood and tendon health, beef heart to anchor the Shen and support Heart Blood - alongside iron-rich greens (spinach, turnip greens) and omega-3-rich sardines and flaxseed to rebuild Blood quality and quantity from multiple angles simultaneously.
Solution Zing carries an AAFCO intermittent or supplemental feeding designation, meaning it is not formulated as a complete standalone diet. However, PET | TAO founding veterinarians routinely recommend it long-term for Blood-deficient patients when combined with PET | TAO Daily Vitamins to fill any nutritional gaps. Always work with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate feeding protocol for your dog's specific needs.
Each PET | TAO canned formula targets a distinct TCVM pattern. Harmony Beef uses energetically neutral ingredients to maintain balance in healthy dogs. Solution Chill uses cooling ingredients to address Yin deficiency and excess Heat. Solution Zing uses warming, blood-building ingredients - particularly multiple organ meats and iron-rich greens - to actively rebuild Qi and Blood in depleted or deficient dogs. The right formula depends on your dog's TCVM pattern; your TCVM-trained veterinarian can help you choose the best fit.
Can I get the dmb percentage of zing...
Thank you for your question! PET | TAO Zing has 22% Dry Matter in the can (100% total - 78% moisture).
The Dry Matter percentage can be found by dividing each as fed nutrient percentage on the label by the percentage of dry matter in the can and then multiplying by 100.
Protein: (10% / 22%) x 100 = 45% Protein on a Dry Matter basis
Fat: (6% / 22%) x 100 = 27% Fat on a Dry Matter basis
Fiber: (1% / 22%) x 100 = 4.5% Fiber on a Dry Matter basis
Is there any way to buy a few cans to try first...my Maltipoo has a sensitive tummy and is very picky Is this a paté food
Thank you for your question! We can only sell this item in cases of 12. Fortunately, we very rarely have returns because the dog won't eat the food. This food is a pate. However, it's possible some dogs may not eat the product. We offer a 100% guarantee on all PET | TAO products. You can view our refund policy here in case your dog doesn't enjoy the Zing formula. For more information about blood-building diets, check out this blog post: https://pettao.com/blood-building-dog-food-recipe/.
My dog suffers from cancer and moderate kidney disease. She has just recently become "picky" about what she will eat, however, she still has a strong appetite. Which of your formulas might work best for these issues?
Thank you for your question! We're sorry your dog suffers from cancer. One of the five branches of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine is Eastern Food Therapy. A common tenet of Eastern Food Therapy is a Blood-building diet can support dogs with cancer. We recommend Zing for dogs with cancer, and usually they enjoy the flavor! If your dog doesn't like Zing, we accept returns, and you can view our refund policy here. Other products we carry that support dogs with cancer are Complement Immune, Max's Formula, Stasis Breaker, and Liver Treats. Also, we have a free ebook about dog cancer you can download here. It was written by PET | TAO's vets. We hope you enjoy it, and please let us know if you have any questions.
So, my dog is 105#. Does that mean he is supposed to have 7 cans of food/day?! That's nearly $30/day?! It doesn't seem right. What am I missing?
Thank you for your question! The recommend daily feeding amount of PET | TAO canned formulas is one can for each 15lbs of your dog's weight. However, that's just an estimate. Some dogs will eat less than the recommend amount depending on their age, activity level, and whether or not they are spayed or neutered. It is possible your dog won't need 7 cans to maintain his weight. Another option that may cost less than buying the canned food is making the formula yourself in a crock pot. PET | TAO makes all of their receipes available here: https://pettao.com/pet-food-recipes/
hello, am i able to give your canned formulas and / or freeze-dried formulas to my cat in appropriate amounts? i have been searching for an energetically sound and species-appropriate food for her for over a decade and i am so happy to have found your organ treats which she loves, so am very much hoping the foods would be ok for her also. thanks so much
Thank you for your question, and we are so glad your kitty likes PET | TAO's 5-Element Theory freeze-dried organ treats! PET | TAO's dog foods aren't formulated for the nutrient needs of cats, so we don't recommend feeding them to cats. A tiny bit as a treat won't hurt, but they aren't sufficient to meet the nutrient needs of cats. Unfortunately, PET | TAO discontinued their cat food awhile back due to lack of sales. But, we have a solution for you, if you have the time to take it on! PET | TAO created home-cooked recipes for cats on their blog. These recipes are homecooked versions of the commercial cat products they used to offer, and there are additional recipes as well (feline versions of the PET | TAO dog recipes).
