A two-ingredient, freeze-dried organ meat treat with a Warming thermal nature in TCVM. Made from chicken hearts and chicken livers only - no additives, artificial flavors, colors, or extracts. Freeze-drying locks in the concentrated nutrient density of fresh organ meats without heat degradation. An excellent high-value reward treat for training or treating. For dogs.
TCVM Thermal Properties
In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, chicken has a Warming thermal nature. Both chicken hearts and chicken livers carry this Warming action and are additionally associated with specific organ-system affinities: the Heart organ system (Fire element) and the Liver organ system (Wood element). This makes these treats particularly appropriate as constitutional food therapy support alongside a TCVM treatment plan targeting Heart Qi deficiency, Liver Blood deficiency, or Cold patterns affecting circulation and energy.
- Thermal nature: Warming
- TCVM action: Tonifies Yang, nourishes Heart Qi and Blood, supports Liver Blood, warms the Middle Jiao
- Organ system affinity: Heart (Fire element), Liver (Wood element)
- Ideal for dogs that: Seek warmth and sunny spots, have a light pink or pale tongue, feel cool to the touch, appear lethargic or low-energy, have reduced stamina or poor circulation, or show signs of Liver Blood deficiency (dry eyes, dull coat, muscle weakness)
- Use with caution in: Dogs with a hot constitution, Yin deficiency with Heat signs, or inflammatory conditions - choose a Cooling protein instead
Why Organ Meats?
Organ meats are among the most nutrient-dense whole foods available - far more concentrated in bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and cofactors than muscle meat alone. In TCVM, organ meats are used therapeutically because they are understood to nourish the corresponding organ system in the body - chicken liver to support Liver Blood, chicken heart to support Heart Qi. In modern nutritional terms, these treats deliver a dense payload of iron, zinc, B12, CoQ10, and fat-soluble vitamins in a form the body recognizes and absorbs efficiently. When used as a treat carrier (for example, to hide a teapill), organ meat treats reinforce rather than counteract a TCVM herbal protocol targeting the same organ systems.

- Freeze-dried: Low-temperature processing preserves natural enzymes, amino acids, and nutrient density without additives or liquid marinades
- No additives: No artificial flavors, colors, extracts, or preservatives
- Nutrient-dense organ meat: Rich in iron, zinc, B12, and CoQ10; supports healthy circulation, energy, vision, and cardiovascular function
- TCVM-appropriate: Warming thermal nature with Heart and Liver organ system affinity; appropriate for Cool or Cold constitutional dogs or as food therapy support
- High-value reward: Intense organ meat flavor makes these highly motivating for training, recall, and high-distraction environments
Ingredient Highlights
- Chicken Hearts: A Warming organ meat rich in iron, CoQ10, and vitamins B12 and A; supports cardiovascular function, healthy energy levels, and circulation. In TCVM, chicken heart nourishes Heart Qi and Blood and is associated with the Fire element

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Warming thermal nature mean for these treats?
In TCVM, Warming foods gently increase Yang energy, support circulation, and are appropriate for dogs with Cool or Cold constitutional patterns. Chicken hearts and livers both carry a Warming thermal nature, making these treats therapeutically appropriate for Cool dogs rather than a generic high-value reward. They also carry specific Heart and Liver organ system affinities, making them useful as food therapy support alongside TCVM protocols targeting those organ systems, or as directed by your veterinarian.
How do I know if my dog is a Cool dog who benefits from Warming treats?
Cool or Cold constitutional dogs tend to seek warmth and sunny spots, have a light pink or pale tongue (rather than red or dark pink), feel cool to the touch on the belly or ears, appear lower energy or lethargic, and may have reduced stamina, poor circulation, or a dull coat. If your dog fits several of these signs, a Warming protein like chicken is likely appropriate. A holistic or TCVM veterinarian can confirm your dog's constitution, or follow your veterinarian's guidance.
Can I use these alongside a TCVM herbal formula?
Yes - freeze-dried organ meat treats pair particularly well with TCVM herbal formulas targeting Heart Qi deficiency, Liver Blood deficiency, Yang deficiency, or Cold Bi syndrome. Using a constitutionally appropriate organ meat treat as a carrier for teapills (hiding a teapill inside a piece of freeze-dried liver or heart) reinforces rather than counteracts the herbal protocol, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Why freeze-dried instead of cooked or dehydrated?
Freeze-drying preserves the natural enzyme content, amino acid profile, and bioavailable nutrient density of raw organ meats without heat degradation. Cooking denatures heat-sensitive enzymes and reduces the bioavailability of certain vitamins. Dehydration uses heat and can diminish nutrient content. Freeze-drying removes moisture at low temperatures, delivering a nutrient profile much closer to fresh raw organ meat in a shelf-stable, convenient format, or as directed by your veterinarian.
