Food Therapy: Restore Heart Energy with Beef Heart Treats


Using TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) Food Therapy, you can feed treats for a reason.
 
Treats can be more than just a fun snack! Did you know you can use treats to improve your pet's health?

PET | TAO®  treats are based on the Yin & Yang and  The Five-Element Theory.
In TCVM, the Five-Element Theory explains the relationship between the five naturally occurring elements in the environment.

In Eastern veterinary medicine, the heart is considered the body's most important organ. It rules the entire body, and the body is built to protect the heart. Another vital function of the heart is the heart’s responsibility for controlling the Shen. The Shen is the “spirit” or the “mind.” explains how beef heart treats help pets.

  • Anxiety
  • Cardiac issues
  • Behavioral issues
  • Agitation
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Heart failure
  • Dull eyes

Beef Heart Treats are an excellent source of:

  • Protein with very little fat - building and repairing tissue
  • Niacin - lowering high cholesterol
  • B Vitamins - producing brain chemicals that affect mood and other brain functions
  • Phosphorous - maintaining acid-base balance in the body

Beef Heart Treats aid:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression

How Do PET |TAO Freeze Dried Beef Heart Treats Help Dogs and Cats?

Since the heart is associated with the Fire element in TCVM, feeding heart treats can help strengthen and support the Fire element in your dog's body. This, in turn, promotes heart health and proper function.​

In TCVM, the heart houses the spirit (Shen) and is connected to emotional and mental well-being. Supporting and tonifying heart meridian promotes a balanced spirit, helping to stabilize emotions and improve overall mental health in dogs.​

The Like Treats Like Theory suggests that feeding a particular organ from one animal to the corresponding organ in another helps support that organ's health. For example, feeding heart treats to dogs supports and nourishes the dog's heart, benefiting cardiac function and overall vitality.​

In Summary:

  • Within the 5 Element theory, the heart represents fire.
  • The qualities of fire are dynamism, strength, and persistence. 
  • The heart is also responsible for controlling the “Shen,” which is known as the “spirit” or the “mind.”
  • By giving your pets beef heart treats, these qualities are strengthened.

Example:

A dog gets terrible anxiety when its owner is away. He tears up the furniture and makes a mess. 

Since hearts are rich in B Vitamins, feeding the beef heart treat ideally helps balance your pet’s mood and relieves their anxiety.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Beef heart treats are the cooked ...raw??

    Thank you for your question! PET | TAO Beef Heart treats are freeze dried raw. This blog post explains how they make the treats: https://pettao.com/freeze-dried-pet-treats/.

  • If a cat suffers from anxiety, can swapping beef heart treats in place of a different treat be a simple way to aid in anxiety relief? I do give Shen Calmer when conditions warrant. But could something as a simple food switch help her stay on an even daily balance?

    You are correct! PET | TAO veterinarians find that providing small amounts of beef heart to cats and dogs help with a number of conditions controlled by the heart in Chinese Medicine. These conditions include heartworm disease, behavioral disorders, and cardiac disorders. Giving these small; pieces of organs as treats is part of food therapy, which is one of the 5 branches of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. Food therapy works well in conjunction with other branches of Chinese Medicine, such as herbs and acupuncture. Food therapy can also be used when making changes to the diet. Usually, a cooling diet helps support cats with Yin Deficiencies. Check with your TCVM vet to see if your cat with anxiety has a Yin Deficiency.
