Freeze Dried Holistic Dog Treats

Smiling Dog Treats

Smiling Dog Freeze Dried Treats - 2.5 oz.

Herbsmith Treats are meat-based with balancing vegetables and fruits. We add no grains to replicate a more natural diet!

Herbsmith treats are different. Made purely of meat and biologically complementing fruits and vegetables, Herbsmith’s Smiling Dog treats help dogs live the way they are supposed to live.

Dogs are natural carnivores, and their diets should reflect that. A dog’s body is designed to primarily eat and digest meat with some vegetables and fruits and little or no grain.

At Herbsmith, we feel that pets should not simply eat to live… they should eat to thrive! The right diet can bring your dog into a whole new state of health and wellness.

Duck Treats: Freeze-dried duck with oranges
Chicken Treats: Freeze-dried chicken with apples & spinach
Beef Treats: Freeze-dried beef with potatoes, carrots & celery

The Energetics of Pet Food - Chinese Theory

The food we feed our dogs impacts their health, their mood and their general wellbeing. A dramatic improvement can be made in so many animals just by changing the foods we feed them.

Every food has properties and actions in terms of how they affect the balance of the body in Chinese theory. Dogs that have a tendency to be hot in nature should be fed cooling foods and a dog that tends to be cold in nature should be fed warming foods. This is a similar concept to how we tend to eat certain foods according to the season.

The Cold ~ A dog that has cool tendencies should be fed warming foods. A "cold dog" may show signs like general weakness, fatigue, exercise intolerance, poor appetite, shortness of breath, slow moving and a preference to lay around. They may also seek out warm places, have fecal or urinary incontinence, stiffness that gets worse with rest, joint pain that gets worse in the cold weather or have coldness of their ears, back and limbs.

All of these symptoms of coldness can be aided by feeding warming foods like turkey, chicken, squash, sweet potatoes, cherries or oats. Similarly, a dog that is affected by arthritis tends to be cold in nature. (This is why arthritis gets even worse during the winter months.) For this reason, a dog that needs added joint support would benefit most from a warm diet.

Feeding a hot dog hot foods (like lamb or venison, which are considered the hottest proteins) is like throwing kerosene on the fire. Hot dogs should be fed cooling foods to dampen the negative effects of heat on their bodies. Proteins like duck, rabbit or fish are considered cooling by Chinese theory. and are best for a dog that has allergies or is generally hot in nature. For a dog that is on a raw or real food diet, you can explore other options like fruits, vegetables and grains. For example, some great cooling fruits and vegetables are apples, bananas, oranges, pears, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and mushrooms.

Great treat for all dogs! If you want to apply Food Energetics/Chinese Theory, The Duck See Spot Smile would be an appropriate treat for a Cold Dog.
