Side by Side Freeze Dried Treats - Warming Whole Chicken Hearts (4oz bag)

Description
Product Q&A

Single-ingredient, freeze-dried whole chicken hearts with a Warming thermal nature in TCVM. Made from 100% whole chicken hearts - no additives, artificial flavors, colors, or extracts. The whole heart format delivers a substantial, intact organ meat treat that is particularly rewarding as a high-value single reward during training. Freeze-drying preserves the full nutritional profile of fresh chicken heart without heat degradation. For dogs.

TCVM Thermal Properties

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, chicken has a Warming thermal nature. Chicken heart specifically carries both the Warming thermal action of chicken and the organ-system affinity of the Heart - associated with the Fire element in the Five Element framework. This makes Warming Chicken Heart treats most appropriate for constitutionally Cool or Cold dogs, or as supportive food therapy alongside TCVM protocols targeting Heart Qi deficiency, Shen disturbance, or circulation weakness in dogs whose constitution accommodates a Warming protein.

Thermal nature: Warming
TCVM action: Warms Yang, tonifies Qi and Blood, nourishes Heart Qi, supports circulation, calms Shen
Organ system affinity: Heart (Fire element)
Appropriate for: Cool and Cold constitutional dogs; use with caution in Hot dogs or dogs with Yin deficiency
Ideal for: Cold or Cool dogs needing Heart Qi support, Yang deficiency patterns with Shen disturbance (anxiety, restlessness from Cold), or Cold Bi syndrome with cardiovascular weakness
For Hot or Warm dogs needing Heart support: Choose Neutral Beef Heart or Neutral Bison Heart treats instead

Why Whole Chicken Hearts?

Whole chicken hearts are one of the most nutrient-dense single-ingredient treats available. As cardiac muscle organs, chicken hearts deliver concentrated CoQ10, taurine, iron, B12, vitamins A and B6, and zinc - nutrients critical for cardiovascular function, energy metabolism, and immune health. Taurine is increasingly recognized as important for cardiac health in dogs, particularly in breeds or diet patterns associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. The whole heart format means each treat is a substantial, intact organ - larger and more visually distinct than pieces - making it an exceptionally high-value reward in training contexts where a single meaningful treat is more effective than multiple small ones. Freeze-drying preserves these nutrients in a shelf-stable, lightweight format without synthetic preservatives or heat damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Whole Chicken Hearts and Chicken Heart Pieces?

Same ingredient, same Warming thermal nature, same nutritional profile - the difference is format. 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.

Why is taurine from whole chicken heart significant for cardiac health?

Cardiac 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.

Can I use whole chicken hearts as a teapill carrier?

Yes, 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.

My dog is constitutionally Hot - can I still use these treats?

Chicken 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.

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.

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.
