Understand the thinking behind holistic food choices for your pet. The PET | TAO Food Therapy Booklet is a free, 16-page PDF that introduces Eastern food therapy and explains how PET | TAO brings traditional food energetics together with Western nutritional science.

Created with pet parents in mind, this approachable booklet explores warming, cooling, and neutral foods, the balance of Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements. You’ll also discover the story of founding veterinarians Dr. Marc Smith and Dr. Casey Damron and see how the brand applies its philosophy to food and treats.

Build your understanding at no cost. Add this free booklet to your cart and complete checkout to receive your PDF download. No physical booklet will be shipped.

What You’ll Explore

  • The PET | TAO story: Learn how the founding veterinarians’ clinical experience and study of traditional Chinese medicine shaped the brand’s approach.
  • Eastern knowledge and Western nutrition: Discover how PET | TAO connects food energetics with nutritional considerations such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Warming, cooling, and neutral foods: Understand why energetic qualities refer to traditional food therapy concepts rather than serving temperature or calorie content.
  • Yin and Yang: Explore the idea of complementary forces and the role of balance in Eastern food therapy.
  • The Five Elements: Get an introduction to traditional food relationships with the Heart, Spleen, Lung, Kidney, and Liver organ systems.
  • Food therapy examples: See the booklet’s illustrations of PET | TAO canine and feline diets and its organ-based and other treats.

Go Beyond the Ingredient List

If you’ve wondered why a holistic veterinarian might recommend a cooling food for one pet and a warming food for another, this booklet offers a useful foundation. Read it at your own pace, then use what you learn to ask more informed questions about your pet’s individual nutritional needs.

This is an educational introduction, not a personalized feeding plan. The booklet includes older product examples and traditional-use descriptions; don't treat those examples as a current product catalog or as instructions for managing a health condition. Your veterinarian can help you apply food therapy concepts appropriately for your pet.

Very Interesting!

Very interesting! Since before my canine soulmate went to the Rainbow Bridge, I've been interested in alternative medicine for pups - mainly because her Western meds weren't helping as much any more. Now that I have different dogs, I want to continue learning about it for them.

I haven’t quit crying yet

The vet was good, but the shipping took so long my little doxie passed away before it arrived. I did just receive another email from TCVM and apparently whomever wrote thought I had a cat… no, I had a precious doxie😥😥😥😥 my suggestion, in desperation case such as mine, offer overnight shipping, receiving herbs 5 days later did not help

Awesome Download

I have downloaded all the books. They are helpful. It is difficult to find a TCVM veterinary in my area. Some of the stuff to order has to be vet approved and 90% of vets don't believe in CVM
