Beef Spleen is a nutrient-dense superfood pet treat
Farmer Pete's Dehydrate Spleen for Dogs and Cats is a high-quality protein and packed with essential vitamins, minerals and specific peptides that are produced exclusively in spleen tissue. These nutrients have been reported to have a positive effect on health and well-being, especially the immune system, skin health, energy levels and cognition.
Beef spleen is an exceptionally rich source of highly bio available iron, containing five times as much total iron and nearly 30 times as much heme iron, as compared to beef liver. Iron is vital for a number of key bodily functions, such as helping to provide oxygen to organs and muscles, and for certain enzymes in the body to function normally. When a dog is deficient in iron it can become lethargic, weak, and more prone to disease and illnesses. Great for growing puppies!
Beef spleen is a rich source of selenium. Selenium is a potent antioxidant essential for correct metabolic functioning. In a dog’s and cat's body, selenium is important for its role in thyroid health, synthesis of DNA and reproductive health. Its antioxidant properties can help to prevent oxidative damage that can contribute to premature aging, cancer and a range of inflammatory diseases.
Beef spleen provides high levels of vitamin B12 and vitamin C. Vitamin B12 is crucial for healthy nervous system and brain function, as well as for the production of healthy red blood cells. It's also involved in maintaining healthy digestive function. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that can help reduce harmful free radicals, support healthy aging, and reduce inflammation. Vitamin C can also support your dog's or cat's immune system and improve energy.
Spleen tissue extracts may be of benefit in enhancing general immune function because of the many potent immune system-enhancing compounds secreted, such as the peptides tuftsin and splenopentin.
Tuftsin stimulates macrophages (a type of white blood cell), which act as a first line of defense against invading pathogens. Tuftsin also helps mobilise other white blood cells to fight against infection and cancer. A deficiency of tuftsin has been associated with signs and symptoms of frequent infections.
Splenopentin, like tuftsin, has also demonstrated significant immune-enhancing effects by promoting the production of white blood cells. Splenopentin has also been shown to enhance the activity of natural killer cells. Natural killer cells destroy cells that have become cancerous or infected with viruses.
