Feeding raw meat, such as KB BARF — Chicken Hearts 1 kg, requires basic knowledge of composing a BARF diet for cats/dogs. When introducing chicken hearts as part of a cat’s or dog’s diet, portions should be adjusted according to the size, age, and activity level of the animals.

Supplementing Meat for Dogs / Cats

Raw chicken hearts can be fed as part of a daily diet or as a meal variety, depending on the animal's needs. For dogs and cats fully on a BARF diet, raw chicken hearts can be a regular part of meals. However, it is important that the diet is varied and includes other sources of protein, fat, vitamins, and micronutrients. It is recommended to introduce various types of meat and organs into the daily menu. Don't forget to also supplement the diet with oils that provide healthy fatty acids.

Once thawed, the product should be fed to the animal within a few hours.

Feeding raw meat, such as chicken hearts, requires following the usual hygiene practices used in the kitchen.

Why Are Chicken Hearts an Ideal Ingredient in a BARF Diet?

Chicken hearts are one of the most valuable ingredients in a BARF diet for cats and dogs. Their rich nutritional value makes them an excellent source of many essential nutrients required for the proper functioning of our pets.

Chicken hearts are especially rich in taurine, one of the most important amino acids in a cat’s BARF diet. Unlike dogs, cats cannot synthesize taurine on their own, which means they must obtain it from their meals. Taurine deficiency in cats can lead to serious health issues: heart disease, weakened vision, and nervous system problems.

Chicken hearts are also an excellent source of protein, which is the main building block of animal muscles. Protein plays an essential role in building healthy tissues, recovering after physical exertion, and maintaining a functioning immune system. For cats and dogs, which are carnivorous animals, an adequate amount of protein in meals is absolutely necessary to maintain health and vitality.

For animals that tend to be overweight or need a low-fat diet, chicken hearts are an ideal food ingredient. With low calorie content and high protein levels, the product helps maintain a healthy weight while providing cats and dogs with essential vitamins and micronutrients. Chicken hearts are rich in iron, zinc, and selenium — minerals essential for healthy blood, skin, claws, and the immune system.

Benefits of a BARF Diet for Cats

The BARF diet for cats, based on raw meat, healthy oils, and supplements, is becoming increasingly popular among pet owners seeking natural alternatives to commercial food. By introducing a BARF diet for their cats, caretakers can expect numerous health benefits for their pets.

One of the first noticeable benefits after introducing the BARF diet for cats is a significant improvement in the condition of the animal's coat and skin. Feeding raw meat, such as chicken hearts, helps supply cats with essential fatty acids, which promote healthy skin and fur. Additionally, the absence of artificial preservatives and fillers in natural meats and supplements reduces the risk of allergic reactions and dermatological problems.

Feeding cats raw meat, such as chicken hearts, also supports their oral health. Chewing raw meat and bones helps remove tartar and plaque, leading to healthier teeth and gums in cats fed a BARF diet.

Introducing products like chicken hearts into the diet can also positively affect a cat's digestive system, as the raw diet provides digestive enzymes that aid in better nutrient absorption. Cats fed a natural, high-protein BARF diet, based on raw meat, often have more energy derived from the protein. This leads to more healthy activity, play, and exploration, which are crucial for maintaining good physical condition.

BARF diet products, such as chicken hearts, are also a natural source of vitamins and minerals that support the cat’s immune system. With the right amount of protein, taurine, iron, and other micronutrients, cats can better defend themselves against diseases and infections. A healthy, varied raw diet strengthens the body, allowing cats to enjoy better health in the long term.

It’s important to remember that cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies require a diet rich in meat and its components. One of these components is taurine — an amino acid that plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the heart muscle, vision, and the nervous system. Taurine deficiency can lead to serious health issues, so an adequate amount of this amino acid in the diet is essential. Chicken hearts are a natural source of taurine (in addition to the necessary supplements in a BARF diet), making them a highly valuable element of a BARF diet for cats.

Benefits of a BARF Diet for Dogs

Similarly to cats, a BARF diet for dogs also provides numerous benefits. Choosing raw meat, such as KB BARF — Chicken Hearts 1 kg, allows dog owners to provide their pets with wholesome, natural nutrition.

Chicken hearts, as part of this diet, are rich in easily digestible protein, which is vital for muscle building and regeneration in every dog. Thanks to the high quality of this protein, it is not difficult for a dog on a BARF diet to maintain a healthy physique and strong muscle structure. This is especially important for highly active dogs.

Raw meat, including chicken hearts, is easier for dogs to digest than processed foods. Introducing a raw BARF diet can improve digestion, reduce stomach issues, and ensure regular bowel movements. Raw food also provides digestive enzymes, which support the dog's natural digestion processes, leading to better nutrient absorption from added omega oils and supplements.

A BARF diet rich in natural vitamins and minerals also supports the dog's immune system. With the right amount of nutrients, the dog's body is better protected against infections and diseases. It’s also worth mentioning that one of the most noticeable effects of the BARF diet is an improvement in the dog’s skin and coat condition. Regularly feeding chicken hearts as part of the BARF diet can also reduce skin issues like dandruff or dryness. The BARF diet for dogs, based on natural ingredients (meat and bones) and supplements, directly impacts the dog’s coat and skin health. Chicken hearts provide valuable fatty acids that improve skin elasticity, reduce irritation, and make the dog's coat smooth and shiny. Regular feeding of raw meat can also reduce the risk of skin allergies and decrease dermatological problems that some dogs experience.

Feeding dogs raw meat, such as chicken hearts, also supports oral hygiene. Chewing raw products naturally helps remove plaque and tartar from a dog's teeth, which can prevent dental issues. Dogs fed a BARF diet tend to have healthier gums and teeth and are less likely to suffer from periodontal disease.
