Back 2 Basics Beef Kidney (Raw & Frozen Cubes)

Secreting Organ for Dogs & Cats | Essential DIY Raw Component

Back 2 Basics Beef Kidney is single-ingredient, raw beef kidney cut into convenient cubes for easy portioning. As a nutrient-dense secreting organ, kidney plays an important role in building a properly balanced DIY raw diet for dogs and cats.

Rich, flavorful, and biologically appropriate, kidney adds essential micronutrients that muscle meat alone cannot provide.

Why Feed Beef Kidney?

Beef kidney is classified as a secreting organ in raw feeding and should be included as part of the organ portion of the diet.

It naturally provides:

• B vitamins to support energy metabolism

• Selenium for antioxidant support

• Iron and trace minerals

• Highly bioavailable whole-food nutrition

Secreting organs are nutrient-dense and should be fed in appropriate amounts to maintain balance.

How to Use

In a balanced DIY raw diet, secreting organs typically make up 10% of the total diet, with:

• 5% from liver

• 5% from another secreting organ (such as kidney)

Beef kidney can fulfill that second 5% portion.

Because organs are rich, introduce gradually and monitor stool consistency.

Kidney can also be served in small amounts as a high-value topper or training reward, but it should not replace muscle meat entirely.

Beef kidney is not a complete meal. A balanced raw diet must also include muscle meat, edible bone or a calcium source, and liver to ensure proper nutrient ratios.
