Every food has energetics that can influence the way the body functions - positively or negatively. The older, cold dog that needs joint support should be fed warming foods like chicken or turkey. The allergic or high-arousal hot dog should be fed cooling foods like duck. The well-balanced dog should be fed neutral foods.

For dogs with digestive sensitivity or those needing gentle bowel support without a strong protein thermal load, Pumpkin with Flax and Cinnamon (neutral to warm) is a good fit. For balanced, healthy dogs or those benefiting from wide antioxidant whole-food variety, the Superfood flavor is the most constitutionally flexible option. If you are unsure of your dog's TCVM pattern, a TCVM-trained veterinarian can assess their constitution and guide protein selection, 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);\"\u003eWhat makes Smiling Dog Soft and Chewy different from the Smiling Dog Freeze-Dried treats?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe freeze-dried line uses a single freeze-drying process to preserve raw or minimally processed protein in a dry, flaky nugget format, prioritizing raw nutrition and maximum ingredient simplicity. The soft and chewy line uses a gentle processing method to create a moist, pliable chew that is easier for some dogs to eat - particularly those with aging teeth, dental sensitivity, or a strong preference for softer textures. Both lines are grain-free, USA-sourced, and TCVM-matched by thermal nature. The soft and chewy line also includes the Superfood and Pumpkin with Flax and Cinnamon varieties, which offer plant-forward antioxidant and digestive support options not available in the freeze-dried format.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIs the Superfood flavor appropriate for all dogs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes, the Superfood flavor's neutral-to-cool overall energetic profile and plant-forward ingredient list make it one of the most broadly appropriate treats in the line across constitutional types. It is particularly useful as a rotation treat alongside a constitutionally matched primary protein treat, or as a stand-alone treat for balanced, healthy dogs who benefit from broad whole-food phytonutrient variety. Because it contains no dominant meat protein, it is also a useful option for dogs on elimination diets or protein rotation protocols where all meat proteins are being carefully managed. As always, introduce new treats gradually and monitor for any sensitivity response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAre these treats safe for dogs with food sensitivities?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe limited-ingredient format makes Smiling Dog Soft and Chewy treats a cleaner option than most commercial soft treats for dogs with sensitivities. Each flavor contains a primary ingredient and a short list of functional whole-food companions with no grain, artificial preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. For dogs with confirmed protein allergies, select a novel protein your dog has not previously been exposed to and confirm with your veterinarian that all ingredients in the chosen variety are appropriate for your dog's specific sensitivity profile. Note that the Chicken, Turkey, and Duck varieties contain eggs and brewer's yeast in addition to the primary protein; review the full ingredient list for each variety before selecting for a dog on an elimination diet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-02T15:00:25-05:00","created_at":"2022-08-13T07:23:12-05:00","vendor":"Herbsmith","type":"Dog Treats","tags":["Health_Need_Stay_In_Balance","No_Authorization_Required","Product_Type_Treat","Species_Dog","Treat_Type_Soft_Chew","Vendor_Herbsmith"],"price":4196,"price_min":4196,"price_max":4196,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40256757858374,"title":"Soft and Chewy \/ Chicken with Flax and Peas","option1":"Soft and Chewy","option2":"Chicken with Flax and Peas","option3":null,"sku":"HSDS-SC1P","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":29528403607622,"product_id":6985108914246,"position":1,"created_at":"2022-08-13T07:47:34-05:00","updated_at":"2022-08-13T07:50:56-05:00","alt":"Herbsmith Smiling Dog Soft \u0026 Chewy Treats for Dogs (4 pack) Chicken with Flax \u0026 Peas","width":2560,"height":2560,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/SmilingDogTreats_SoftChewy_Chicken_Square-scaled_5efff4b4-29e3-4e4f-90bf-cebe185400bc.jpg?v=1660395056","variant_ids":[40256757858374]},"available":true,"name":"Herbsmith Smiling Dog Soft \u0026 Chewy Treats for Dogs (4 pack) -

Every food has energetics that can influence the way the body functions - positively or negatively. The older, cold dog that needs joint support should be fed warming foods like chicken or turkey. The allergic or high-arousal hot dog should be fed cooling foods like duck. The well-balanced dog should be fed neutral foods. Smiling Dog Soft and Chewy treats are built around this principle - real ingredients selected and paired to match what your dog's body actually needs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTCVM Energetics and Actions by Flavor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eChicken with Flax and Peas (Warm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\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\u003eThermal nature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrgan affinity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spleen, Stomach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical actions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tonifies Spleen and Stomach Qi, warms the Middle Jiao, supports digestive function and Qi production;

For dogs with digestive sensitivity or those needing gentle bowel support without a strong protein thermal load, Pumpkin with Flax and Cinnamon (neutral to warm) is a good fit. For balanced, healthy dogs or those benefiting from wide antioxidant whole-food variety, the Superfood flavor is the most constitutionally flexible option.

It is particularly useful as a rotation treat alongside a constitutionally matched primary protein treat, or as a stand-alone treat for balanced, healthy dogs who benefit from broad whole-food phytonutrient variety. Because it contains no dominant meat protein, it is also a useful option for dogs on elimination diets or protein rotation protocols where all meat proteins are being carefully managed.

For dogs with confirmed protein allergies, select a novel protein your dog has not previously been exposed to and confirm with your veterinarian that all ingredients in the chosen variety are appropriate for your dog's specific sensitivity profile. Note that the Chicken, Turkey, and Duck varieties contain eggs and brewer's yeast in addition to the primary protein; review the full ingredient list for each variety before selecting for a dog on an elimination diet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
