Whole Chicken Hearts are intact, complete organ treats; larger and more substantial, making them ideal as high-value single rewards during training where one meaningful treat drives engagement better than several small ones. Chicken Heart Pieces are cut smaller, making them better suited for frequent small-reward training, treating smaller dogs, or mixing into food as a topper.

Chicken heart delivers this taurine in a whole-food, bioavailable form - without the processing losses associated with rendered meal or cooked kibble ingredients. Taurine is increasingly discussed in the context of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and while the research is ongoing, providing taurine from whole cardiac muscle is a practical food-first approach to supporting cardiac health. In TCVM, the principle of organ affinity aligns with this: heart feeds heart. The whole-heart format ensures you consume the full organ intact, preserving the organ's complete taurine and CoQ10 content without cutting losses, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan I use whole chicken hearts as a teapill carrier?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes, though the whole heart format works best for larger dogs or as a single-treat teapill delivery. For smaller dogs or teapills that need to be hidden in a more pliable carrier, Chicken Heart Pieces or the Beef Heart with Blackstrap Molasses jerky may be easier to work with. Chicken heart's Warming thermal nature and Heart organ affinity make it a particularly coherent carrier for herbal formulas targeting Heart Qi deficiency, Shen disturbance, or Cold Bi syndrome - the treat reinforces the herbal protocol's thermal direction. Use Neutral Beef or Bison Heart as a teapill carrier for Hot dogs, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMy dog is constitutionally Hot - can I still use these treats?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eChicken is Warming in TCVM, which means it adds thermal energy to the body. For Hot or Warm constitutional dogs, regular use of Warming treats can contribute to excess Heat accumulation - counterproductive for a dog already running Hot. For occasional treating, a small quantity of Warming treats is unlikely to significantly shift a dog's constitutional balance. For regular use or as a teapill carrier, Neutral Beef Heart or Neutral Bison Heart treats are the better choice for Hot dogs - same Heart (Fire element) affinity and taurine\/CoQ10 profile, without the Warming thermal push, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-02-19T14:38:58-06:00","created_at":"2022-04-26T06:28:45-05:00","vendor":"Side by Side","type":"Dog Treats","tags":["Element_Fire","Energetic_Warming","Health_Need_Cardiovascular","No_Authorization_Required","Product_Type_Treat","Treat_Type_Freeze_Dried_Raw","Vendor_Side_By_Side"],"price":2339,"price_min":2339,"price_max":2339,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":2339,"compare_at_price_min":2339,"compare_at_price_max":2339,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40012632031302,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"TR0061F","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Side by Side Freeze Dried Treats - Warming Whole Chicken Hearts (4oz bag)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":2339,"weight":113,"compare_at_price":2339,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"857855007889","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts.jpg?v=1712269569","\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts_Back.jpg?v=1712269551"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts.jpg?v=1712269569","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"A clear plastic bag of Side by Side Warming Whole Chicken Hearts Freeze Dried Treats with a blue label, showing the product name and that it is made in the USA.","id":23581557784646,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"width":4650,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts.jpg?v=1712269569"},"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts.jpg?v=1712269569","width":4650},{"alt":"Back packaging of Side by Side Whole Chicken Hearts","id":23581556703302,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"width":4650,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts_Back.jpg?v=1712269551"},"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_WholeChickenHearts_Back.jpg?v=1712269551","width":4650}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSingle-ingredient, freeze-dried whole chicken hearts with a Warming thermal nature in TCVM.

Freeze-drying preserves these nutrients in a shelf-stable, lightweight format without synthetic preservatives or heat damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle ingredient:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% whole chicken hearts - nothing else\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhole heart format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intact organ treats; larger and more substantial than chicken heart pieces, making them particularly effective as high-value single rewards during training\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreeze-dried raw:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-temperature processing preserves natural enzymes, amino acids, taurine, and nutrient density without heat degradation or synthetic preservatives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo additives:\u003c\/strong\u003e No artificial flavors, colors, extracts, salt, sugar, or preservatives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutrient-dense organ meat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich in CoQ10, taurine, iron, zinc, and vitamins A and B12; supports cardiovascular function, immune health, and healthy energy levels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTCVM-appropriate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warming thermal nature with Heart (Fire element) organ system affinity; ideal for Cool and Cold constitutional dogs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-value reward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense organ meat flavor and whole-heart format make these highly motivating for training, recall, and high-distraction environments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIngredient Highlight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhole Chicken Hearts:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Warming organ meat rich in CoQ10, taurine, iron, zinc, and vitamins A, B6, and B12; supports cardiovascular function, immune health, and healthy energy levels.

Whole Chicken Hearts are intact, complete organ treats; larger and more substantial, making them ideal as high-value single rewards during training where one meaningful treat drives engagement better than several small ones. Chicken Heart Pieces are cut smaller, making them better suited for frequent small-reward training, treating smaller dogs, or mixing into food as a topper. Both are single-ingredient, freeze-dried, and carry identical TCVM Heart (Fire element) affinity, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy is taurine from whole chicken heart significant for cardiac health?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCardiac muscle tissue has the highest natural taurine concentration of any cut of meat. Chicken heart delivers this taurine in a whole-food, bioavailable form - without the processing losses associated with rendered meal or cooked kibble ingredients. Taurine is increasingly discussed in the context of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and while the research is ongoing, providing taurine from whole cardiac muscle is a practical food-first approach to supporting cardiac health. In TCVM, the principle of organ affinity aligns with this: heart feeds heart. The whole-heart format ensures you consume the full organ intact, preserving the organ's complete taurine and CoQ10 content without cutting losses, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan I use whole chicken hearts as a teapill carrier?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes, though the whole heart format works best for larger dogs or as a single-treat teapill delivery. For smaller dogs or teapills that need to be hidden in a more pliable carrier, Chicken Heart Pieces or the Beef Heart with Blackstrap Molasses jerky may be easier to work with. Chicken heart's Warming thermal nature and Heart organ affinity make it a particularly coherent carrier for herbal formulas targeting Heart Qi deficiency, Shen disturbance, or Cold Bi syndrome - the treat reinforces the herbal protocol's thermal direction. Use Neutral Beef or Bison Heart as a teapill carrier for Hot dogs, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMy dog is constitutionally Hot - can I still use these treats?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eChicken is Warming in TCVM, which means it adds thermal energy to the body. For Hot or Warm constitutional dogs, regular use of Warming treats can contribute to excess Heat accumulation - counterproductive for a dog already running Hot. For occasional treating, a small quantity of Warming treats is unlikely to significantly shift a dog's constitutional balance. For regular use or as a teapill carrier, Neutral Beef Heart or Neutral Bison Heart treats are the better choice for Hot dogs - same Heart (Fire element) affinity and taurine\/CoQ10 profile, without the Warming thermal push, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
