What are Viscera and why are they essential?

Viscera are internal organs that contain an incomparable wealth of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. These natural nutrients are essential for your dog’s health and well-being. Internal organs are contained in the cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities of an animal, and each provides a unique combination of nutrients.

The Nutritional Variety of Viscera

Each organ has a unique nutritional profile. For example, liver is a rich source of vitamin A and iron, while kidneys are rich in riboflavin, vitamin B12 and folic acid. The heart provides taurine and coenzyme Q10, nutrients vital for heart function. Recognizing the diversity of nutrients in each organ, it is important to understand what we are providing and how to balance our dogs’ diet.

Moderation and Quality

Due to the nutritional density of organ meats, it is crucial to offer them in small quantities. Excess nutrients can be harmful to your pet’s health. Additionally, not all organ meats are easily available or equally beneficial. The organ meats of animals raised in a natural environment are often more complete in nutrients than those of traditionally consumed animals.

Balance in Preparation

The organ meats can be administered cooked, lightly cooked or raw, always with caution. Pre-freezing depending on the species may be necessary to prevent problems. Proper preparation ensures the elimination of potential pathogens and preserves essential nutrients.

At Meat a Dog, we believe in the importance of providing our dogs with nutrition that supports their well-being and energy.
