How Do Freeze Dried Beef Spleen Treats Help Dogs and Cats?
In the Five Element Theory, the Spleen and Stomach are associated with the Earth Element. The Earth Element regulates digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall energy. Feeding beef spleen to dogs and cats can help strengthen the Earth Element and support Spleen and Stomach health and function.
The Spleen plays a critical role in producing and maintaining blood and Qi (vital energy) in the body. Beef spleen is rich in iron, vitamins, and minerals, which can help nourish the blood and support overall vitality.
According to TCVM, the Spleen is vital for proper digestion and metabolism. Feeding beef spleen can help strengthen Spleen Qi, thereby improving digestive health and nutrient absorption.
The theory of "Like Treats Like" suggests that feeding a particular organ from one animal to the corresponding organ in another animal helps support that organ's health. Feeding beef spleen to dogs and cats supports and nourishes the spleen, which can improve overall health, especially digestion and immunity.
In Summary
According to the 5 Element Theory, the Spleen represents the Earth Element.
The attributes of Earth are qualities of patience and stability.
By giving your pets spleen treats, you strengthen these attributes and support their Spleen Qi.
Example
A geriatric dog with multiple health problems (including loose stools, weight loss, emaciation, and muscle atrophy) is an ideal candidate for spleen treats. Since spleens are rich in pantothenic acid and potassium, feeding spleen treats can help improve their energy and prevent further muscle loss.

Pets under 25 pounds: 1 to 3 treats

Would you please assist me in calculating calories for a quarter cup of the freeze dried Pet Tao Beed Spleen?
Thank you for your question! The calories are measured by weight, and there are 92 kcal/oz. There are 3 oz in a bag of Spleen treats. There are roughly 2 cups in a bag of Spleen trreats (this is a volume measurement, so it can vary depending on the size of the pieces). So, 1/4 cup is roughly 34.5 kcal. Thank you for supporting Chinese Medicine and Food Therapy!
What is your method of killing pathogens and bacteria prior to freeze drying?
Thank you for your question! Before freeze drying, PET | TAO doesn't do anything to kill backteria. After freeze drying, the result is a product that has so little moisture that bacteria and pathogens cannot proliferate. The products are tested after each batch for certain bacteria and counts. Here's a blog post PET | TAO wrote about their process:https://pettao.com/freeze-dried-pet-treats/ Here's another blog post about choosing the right treat for your pet: https://pettao.com/pet-treats/
My 13.5 yr old Boston Terrier (M Neutered) was diagnosed with possible hemangiosarcoma after an abdominal ultra-sound and CT scan. 3 cm in spleen and metastasis to his liver. They gave us days... 3 1/2 weeks later he is doing great. He is taking a stasis breaker, Wei Qi, Mushroom Concentrate, Yunnan Baiyao, Tranexamic Acid & Gabapentin. Do you think that the spleen treats will be an added benefit? I will do anything to give him more time. He is my soul.
Hi, thank you for your question!
Yes, according to TCVM theory, feeding your dog spleen tonifys and helps restore the spleen meridian. As few as 5-6 daily treats can help our dog feel better.
Mezzo loves eating her TAO harmony limited, yes, but really likes the Freeze Dried Beef Spleen which follows. She gets 4 small pieces after each 1/4c meal and then before bed. We work at keeping 9lbs. Her pancreas is compromised and the spleen was as organ close that TAO offers. She’s doing very well for a 13yr + senior who lived the first 1/2 her life on the streets of Mexico.

Great supplement for my kitty with pancreatitis
My cat has pancreatitis and when it flares he has trouble keeping on weight. I saw him licking my cast iron pans and realized he must need some extra iron in his diet, so with some research I found the TCVM beef spleen treats. He loves them! I give him one or two just as a treat and also sprinkle a little on top of his wet food. Great quality product, and has improved my kitty’s health and demeanor.

My pups LOVE these!
My dogs eat a raw diet so they get their fair share of organs but spleen is not common to find at a butcher shop, grocery store, or pet store. I’m happy to have found these!
