Just because dogs can survive on plant-based foods or human leftovers doesn’t mean that’s what they were built to thrive on. The idea that dogs are omnivores has been pushed heavily by commercial pet food companies — but it’s misleading. Yes, dogs can eat a wide variety of things, even plant matter. So can their wild ancestor, the wolf. But here’s the key point: wolves don’t eat plants by choice — they do it to survive when food is scarce. Survival Mode, Not Preference In parts of the world where prey is hard to find, wolves are incredibly adaptable. For...

Technically, the answer to this question is “All Organs” – as your furry friend’s ancestral relative, the wolf, eats the entire animal.  However, if we’re looking at the top organs based on nutrient and benefits, this would be the list: 1. Beef Liver (King of Organ Meats) Top Nutrients: Vitamin A (eye, skin, immune health) B vitamins (B12, folate for energy and blood health) Iron (supports oxygen transport) Copper and zinc (skin, coat, immune function) Benefits: Boosts immunity and vision Promotes healthy blood cells and energy levels Supports shiny coat and healthy skin 2. Beef Heart Top Nutrients: Coenzyme Q10...

Dogs might look different on the outside — from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Rottweilers — but inside, they all share a powerful biological connection to the gray wolf. In fact, they’re so closely related that the Smithsonian reclassified them in 1939 as Canis lupus familiaris, a direct subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus). Decades of genetic research have confirmed that dogs are descended from gray wolves — not coyotes, jackals, or other wild canines. Despite the huge variety in size, shape, and personality, all dogs are fundamentally carnivores, built to thrive on a diet of meat, organs, and bones....

Despite being a dietary staple (and priority) for their genetic ancestor – the wolf – organ meats are seriously lacking (or absent entirely) in the diets of our canine companions.  Here are 10 reasons your dog needs more organs in their diet: Nutrient Density – Organ meats are packed with vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, zinc, and selenium, often in higher concentrations than muscle meat. Supports Healthy Skin and Coat – Nutrients such as vitamin A, copper, and zinc found in liver and kidney help maintain shiny coats and healthy skin. Boosts Immune System – Selenium,...

When it comes to nutrition, organ meats are just as powerful for our furry friends as they are for us. Both humans and dogs benefit from the vitamins, minerals, and cofactors packed into organs like liver, heart, and kidney. But here’s the question many people ask: are organ supplements for dogs the same as organ supplements for humans? Let’s break down the differences, the similarities, and how to choose the right option for both you and your pup. Why Organ Supplements Work for Both Humans and Dogs Organ meats are often called “nature’s multivitamin” because they deliver so much in...
