Chicken heart is associated with the Heart (Fire element) in TCVM: it nourishes Heart Qi, supports circulation, and calms Shen disturbance. Chicken gizzard is associated with the Spleen and Stomach (Earth element): it tonifies Spleen Qi, warms digestive Yang, and is indicated for pets with Cold or deficient digestive patterns. The choice between them depends on which organ system the pet's TCVM protocol is addressing. For pets with both digestive and cardiovascular patterns, both can be rotated, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAre these appropriate for cats as well as dogs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes. Chicken gizzards are appropriate as a freeze-dried treat for both dogs and cats. Cats are obligate carnivores with a natural dietary preference for organ meats, making freeze-dried gizzard particularly species-appropriate. The Warming thermal nature is relevant for constitutionally Cool or Cold cats as well - the same TCVM principles of food energetics apply to feline patients. Adjust treat quantity to your cat's size and daily caloric needs, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMy dog has digestive issues - is this the right treat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIt depends on the nature of the digestive pattern. If your dog's digestive issues present with Cold signs - loose stools, poor appetite, preference for warmth, pale tongue, fatigue - Warming Chicken Gizzard is a TCVM-appropriate treat choice that reinforces the Spleen Qi tonification direction. If digestive issues present with Heat signs - urgency, bright red or dark stools, inflammation - a Cooling or Neutral treat is more appropriate. Always confirm the constitutional picture with a TCVM-trained veterinarian before using food energetics as a therapeutic strategy, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-04-15T14:08:56-05:00","created_at":"2022-04-14T09:57:10-05:00","vendor":"Side by Side","type":"Dog Treats","tags":["Deficiency_Yang","Energetic_Warming","No_Authorization_Required","Product_Type_Treat","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Treat_Type_Freeze_Dried_Raw","Vendor_Side_By_Side"],"price":1689,"price_min":1689,"price_max":1689,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39985196302406,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"TR0005F","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Side by Side Warming Chicken Gizzards Dog Treats (2.5oz bag)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1689,"weight":88,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"856519008380","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards.jpg?v=1712269585","\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards_Back.jpg?v=1712269564"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards.jpg?v=1712269585","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"A bag of Side by Side Warming Chicken Gizzards for dogs, freeze-dried dog treats are visible through the clear packaging, with branding and product information displayed.","id":23581559160902,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"width":4650,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards.jpg?v=1712269585"},"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards.jpg?v=1712269585","width":4650},{"alt":"back packaging of Side by Side Chicken Gizzards warming treats for dogs","id":23581557424198,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"width":4650,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards_Back.jpg?v=1712269564"},"aspect_ratio":1.107,"height":4200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/CopyofSBS_PouchPhoto_ChickenGizzards_Back.jpg?v=1712269564","width":4650}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSingle-ingredient, freeze-dried chicken gizzard treats with a Warming thermal nature in TCVM.

It delivers iron, zinc, B12, and B vitamins in a highly bioavailable whole-food form. The intense, gamey flavor of freeze-dried gizzard is highly palatable to both dogs and cats, making it effective as a high-value training reward even for picky eaters.

Chicken heart is associated with the Heart (Fire element) in TCVM: it nourishes Heart Qi, supports circulation, and calms Shen disturbance. Chicken gizzard is associated with the Spleen and Stomach (Earth element): it tonifies Spleen Qi, warms digestive Yang, and is indicated for pets with Cold or deficient digestive patterns. The choice between them depends on which organ system the pet's TCVM protocol is addressing. For pets with both digestive and cardiovascular patterns, both can be rotated, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAre these appropriate for cats as well as dogs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes. Chicken gizzards are appropriate as a freeze-dried treat for both dogs and cats. Cats are obligate carnivores with a natural dietary preference for organ meats, making freeze-dried gizzard particularly species-appropriate. The Warming thermal nature is relevant for constitutionally Cool or Cold cats as well - the same TCVM principles of food energetics apply to feline patients. Adjust treat quantity to your cat's size and daily caloric needs, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMy dog has digestive issues - is this the right treat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIt depends on the nature of the digestive pattern. If your dog's digestive issues present with Cold signs - loose stools, poor appetite, preference for warmth, pale tongue, fatigue - Warming Chicken Gizzard is a TCVM-appropriate treat choice that reinforces the Spleen Qi tonification direction. If digestive issues present with Heat signs - urgency, bright red or dark stools, inflammation - a Cooling or Neutral treat is more appropriate. Always confirm the constitutional picture with a TCVM-trained veterinarian before using food energetics as a therapeutic strategy, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
