Chicken heart
Hearts are the muscular organs that pump blood throughout the body of all animals.
Why we feed?
Chicken hearts are nutrient-dense organ meats that can be fed to dogs as a healthy treat or part of a balanced diet. They are rich in high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and important nutrients like taurine, which supports heart health, muscle function, and eye health in dogs. Chicken hearts also provide vitamins like B12, riboflavin, and niacin, as well as minerals like iron, phosphorus, and zinc, which are important for overall health and energy levels.

How to feed?
Chicken hearts can be served raw, cooked, or dehydrated as a treat. Due to their nutritional benefits, they are often used in raw or homemade diets. Because chicken hearts are nutrient-dense, they should be fed in moderation, no more than 20% of the muscle meat portion of your dog's meal.
Additional info?
Although the heart is an organ within an animal's body, it is considered muscle meat for feeding purposes.
