Rather than feeding every dog the same diet, food energetics-based feeding matches the thermal nature of the food to the constitutional needs of the individual dog. A dog that runs Hot benefits from Cooling proteins; a dog that runs Cool benefits from Warming proteins; a dog in constitutional balance does well with Neutral proteins. Side by Side Morsels are formulated around this principle, with each flavor precisely calibrated so that the majority of ingredients by percentage reflect the intended thermal action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eChoose the Right Flavor for Your Dog\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDuck Morsels - Cooling (60% Cool Ingredients)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDuck is a Cooling protein in the Chinese materia medica.

Hot dogs - those that pant excessively, seek cool surfaces, have a red tongue, or show inflammatory patterns - benefit from Cooling Duck. Cool dogs - those that seek warmth, have a pale tongue, appear low-energy, or have Cold digestive patterns - benefit from Warming Chicken. Balanced dogs do well with Neutral Beef.
