PET | TAO Freeze Dried Beef Kidney Dog and Cat Treats (3oz bag)

PET | TAO Freeze Dried Beef Kidney

PET | TAO Beef Kidney treats offer your pet a wide range of health benefits. 

Kidney treats balance your pet's kidney meridian, tonifying your pet's kidneys and bladder.

Treats are more than just fun! Make treats work for your pet's health by feeding treats with specific energetic qualities.

 Beef Kidney Treats help:

  • Geriatric age
  • Swelling, arthritis
  • Incontinence
  • Reproductive issues
  • Kidney and bladder insufficiencies
  • Kidney and bladder health challenges


Beef Kidney Treats are an excellent source of:

  • Vitamin A - helping the skin and mucous membranes repel bacteria effectively
  • Riboflavin - benefitting energy production
  • Thiamin (Vitamin B1) - improving the cardiovascular functioning of the body.
  • Niacin - lowering high cholesterol
  • Iron - aiding the heart and immune system

Beef Kidney Treats aid:

  • Hearing loss
  • Arthritis
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Kidney failure
  • Bladder health challenges

How do Beef Kidney Treats help?

According to the Five Element Theory, the liver is associated with the wood element and plays a vital role in detoxification and energy regulation. Since beef liver supports the liver organ, it aligns with the wood element and provides a direct source of nourishment and balance.

The theory of "Like Treats Like" tells us that similar qualities in foods can support corresponding organs and conditions. 

Beef liver, rich in nutrients such as iron, vitamins, and minerals, directly benefits the liver and supports its functions. 

Freeze-dried liver treats provide essential nutrients that strengthen the liver and help maintain its health.

They also offer concentrated, nutrient-dense support for the liver, promoting detoxification, energy flow, and overall vitality. 

In Summary:

  • According to the 5 Element Theory, the kidney represents water.
  • The attributes of water are flexibility, softness, and pliability.
  • By giving your pets kidney treats, you strengthen their attributes.

Example:

An older spayed dog with urinary incontinence is an ideal candidate for kidney treats. 

Since the kidney controls urethral sphincter tone, feeding kidney treats help alleviate incontinence symptoms. 


What do all these benefits mean for you?

Your ailing pet will begin to feel like its old self again!

PET | TAO Freeze Dried Beef Kidney treats contain one ingredient only - beef kidney - and are additive-free and hypoallergenic by nature.

Each bag contains 3 ounces of tasty, nutritional goodness for cats and dogs! 

You can give treats just for fun, or you can feed treats for a purpose. 

It’s always better to feed treats for a purpose!

What are PET | TAO Freeze-Dried Beef Kidney Treats?

PET | TAO Beef Kidney Treats are single-ingredient treats for dogs and cats. Each treat contains only freeze-dried beef kidney. They contain no added fillers, flavors, or preservatives.

What are the benefits of beef kidney treats?

Beef kidney is naturally rich in protein, iron, riboflavin, thiamin, niacin, and vitamin A. These nutrients help support energy, immune health, skin health, and overall vitality.

How do beef kidney treats support pets from a TCVM perspective?

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, the Kidney belongs to the Water Element. The Kidney system influences aging, urinary health, reproduction, bones, and hearing. Beef kidney provides targeted food therapy support for the Kidney and Bladder Meridians.

Which pets may benefit from beef kidney treats?

These treats may be especially helpful for senior pets. They may also support pets experiencing age-related changes, reduced vitality, or urinary health concerns. However, treats should not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

Can dogs and cats both eat beef kidney treats?

Yes. PET | TAO Beef Kidney Treats are made for both dogs and cats. Their single-ingredient recipe makes them an easy option for many pets.

How many beef kidney treats should I give my pet?

For best results, follow these daily feeding guidelines:

  • Pets under 25 pounds: 1 to 3 treats
  • Pets weighing 26 to 50 pounds: 3 to 5 treats
  • Pets over 50 pounds: Up to 10 treats

Treat sizes may vary. Therefore, adjust the amount based on your pet’s size, diet, and calorie needs.

Yes. You can crumble the treats over your pet’s regular food. You can also soak them in warm water for three to five minutes. Rehydrating creates a soft and tasty food topper.

Are PET | TAO Beef Kidney Treats suitable for pets with food sensitivities?

The treats contain only beef kidney. Therefore, they may be a simple choice for pets sensitive to common fillers or additives. They are not suitable for pets with a known beef allergy.

Can pets with kidney disease eat beef kidney treats?

  • My 11year old cat gets UTI’s. I feed her Hills Science Diet UTI food, but sometimes she still gets an infection... she has one now.. suggestions please..

    Thank you for your question! You're looking in the right place. Kidney treats can help, along with PET | TAO's Soothe Bladder supplement. It is labeled for dogs due to the hard tablets it comes in, but it's safe for cats - you can crush the tablets into powder. Learn more about how Soothe Bladder works here.

  • Where is the beef kidney sourced from and is it from a grass fed protein source?

    Thank you for your question! The beef kidney is sourced from the USA in Wisconsin and the beef is grass-fed. You can learn more here: https://pettao.com/pet-tao-transparency/

  • What is the dehydrate to fully hydrated ratio? I home cook for my pups I would like to use this product in place of fresh raw kidney. If the pup requires 1.5 ounces per day of fresh raw; how much dehydrated product would you recommend?

    Thank you for your question, and for your interest in Food Therapy and homecooking! If your dog requires 1.5 oz per day of raw kidney, we recommend using 0.5oz daily of PET | TAO's Freeze Dried Kidney Treats. If you're interested in homecooking, you can check out PET | TAO's blog and recipes here: https://pettao.com/pet-food-recipes/

  • Will it help dissolve stones??

    Thank you for your question! Feeding Kidney may support the kidney and bladder, but is not known to dissolve stones on its own. That being said, freeze dried kidney is part of a well-rounded regimen of alternative treatments for pets suffering from kidney and bladder issues. This regimen includes Eastern Food Therapy (food, treats, and supplements) and Eastern Herbals. A complement to the food therapy program is an herbal formula called Crystal Stone Formula, which supports the dissolution of stones by clearing Heat and Damp, resolving crystals, and supporting the bladder's normal healing process. Crystal Stone Formula requires a veterinary authorization, which you can request here: https://tcvmpet.com/pages/get-an-authorization. The food therapy products do not require authorization, just the Eastern Herbals.

  • What is amount of phosphorous in the treats? Is it at the recommended level for cats with CKD?

    Hi, thank you for your question!

    We don't measure the phosphorus in this product. According to our founding vet, Dr. Casey Damron, the amount of phosphorus and protein in freeze-dried kidney treats, when fed in the appropriate amount, is not a concern.

    We wrote an article about kidney treats for renal failure that you might like: https://tcvmpet.com/blogs/news/the-best-treats-for-cats-with-kidney-disease it explains the philosophy.

    Thank you for supporting Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine!

  • How long will a 3 oz bag last for a 10lb cat?

    Hi! Thank you for your email!

    We recommend 1-3 treats per day for pets under 25 lbs

    The exact number can vary per bag since they are packaged based on weight rather than the count of treats. 

    We estimate there are between 100-150 treats per bag. The size of the treats also varies between batches due to differences in the appearance and size of beef kidneys that occur naturally.

My dog loves them.

My dog loves the beef kidney treats! He’s a very picky eater and since we only feed him healthy food and treats sometimes it’s hard to find things he likes. When I ask him if he wants a treat he goes nuts!!! Thank you for giving us healthy options for food and treats.
