What's inside

A whole-animal organ blend.

Organ Medley is a whole-animal blend of nutrient-dense organs: liver, heart, lung, and kidney. Because we source from a single founding farm partner and follow what is available at peak quality, the exact mix rotates from batch to batch. Every bag is single-source, pasture-grazed organ meat and nothing else.

This batch: lung, heart, and kidney

  • Single-source, pasture-grazed organ meat from Zinniker Family Farm, Elkhorn, Wisconsin
  • Slowly dehydrated to preserve natural nutrients
  • No fillers, no binders, no preservatives
  • No artificial colors or flavors
Why organs

Nose-to-tail nutrition.

Before kibble, dogs ate the whole animal, and they went for the organs first. Organ meat is the most nutrient-dense food in nature, the part wild canines prized and the part modern processed food leaves out. A rotating medley is closer to how dogs evolved to eat than any single cut: nose-to-tail nutrition, the way the old farms did it.

The blend

What each organ brings.

Liver

The most nutrient-dense organ in the animal, often called nature's multivitamin. A natural source of vitamin A, B vitamins including B12, iron, copper, and choline, nutrients that support energy, immune function, and healthy vision.

Heart

A working muscle rich in taurine and CoQ10, two nutrients tied to cardiovascular health and cellular energy production. Also a source of B vitamins, zinc, and iron.

Lung

A lean, light protein dogs find highly palatable. Lower in fat than other organs, with natural connective tissue that provides collagen.

Kidney

A source of B12, riboflavin, iron, and selenium, a mineral that supports the body's natural antioxidant defenses.

Whole, real food the way dogs were built to eat it. Not a supplement. Not a formula. Just organs from one pasture-grazed herd, dried and bagged.

The Process

Whole organs in.
Only water removed.

Dehydration removes only water and leaves the nutrients behind. Fresh, pasture-grazed organs are slowly dried at low temperature until they are shelf-stable, concentrating whole-animal nutrition into a clean, single-source treat. No smoking, no curing, no cooking, no fixed formula.

Zinniker Family Farm
Where it comes from

Zinniker Family Farm has been doing this since 1943.

Zinniker Family Farm, our founding farm partner, has been practicing Biodynamics, a more comprehensive approach to land stewardship, for over 80 years, long before "regenerative" was a selling point.

Their cattle graze on open pasture year-round. No pesticides. No feedlots. No shortcuts. The organ meat we use comes directly from their butcher, using the whole animal, the way it was always done.

Chuck Ginsberg

Founder · Elkhorn, Wisconsin

Chuck has been thinking about dog nutrition differently for a long time. It started in 1996 with Elvis, a 220-pound English Mastiff who couldn't eat dry dog food without getting sick. After doing some research, Chuck learned that the dog food was making Elvis sick. A veterinarian Chuck trusted, one who had been practicing since the 1960s, gave him a different answer: switch to real food. Chuck switched Elvis to raw. The problems cleared up within weeks and never came back, ever.

"Before commercial kibble and fast food, dogs ate real food, the leftovers from our plates. That's all we're doing here. Bringing back high-quality food."

That experience sent Chuck looking for health giving food, and eventually to Zinniker Family Farm, one of the oldest continuously operating biodynamic farms in North America. He spent years learning their Biodynamic approach: focus on soil fertility. No pesticides. No chemicals.

"Healthy soil leads to nutritious plants for the cows to graze, which gives us nutrient dense food that supports good health. Clean animals, closed loop, nothing wasted, no shortcuts."

Most people do not eat organ meat which happens to be the most nutritious part of an animal. Chuck saw that as an opportunity and a responsibility.

Natural Dog Health exists because Chuck couldn't find what he was looking for on a store shelf. Real ingredients. One founding farm. Nothing added. So he built it himself, hand-slicing and drying every bag out of his Elkhorn kitchen, the same way he feeds his own dogs. This is what he gives them. Now you can have the same exacting quality for your dog.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does the mix change from batch to batch?
Yes. Organ Medley is a rotating whole-animal blend of liver, heart, lung, and kidney, and the exact mix depends on what the farm has at peak quality when we make a run. Some batches lead with one organ, some with another, and some organs may be absent from a given batch. The current batch is lung, heart, and kidney. The ingredient line on the bag always matches exactly what is inside it.
Why organ meat?
Organ meat is the most nutrient-dense food in nature. Before commercial pet food, dogs ate the whole animal and went for the organs first. Organs deliver a range of vitamins and minerals that muscle meat alone does not.
Why a blend instead of a single organ?
Different organs bring different nutrients. Liver, heart, lung, and kidney each contribute something the others do not, so a medley is closer to whole-animal nutrition than any one cut. It also lets us follow what our founding farm partner has at peak quality, which keeps every batch true to the farm and the season.
Is organ meat good for my dog?
Organ meat has been part of the canine diet for as long as dogs have existed. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and natural nutrients. As with any change to your dog's diet, introduce it gradually and consult your vet.
If it's so nutritious, why is it called a treat?
Honestly, "treat" is just the closest existing category. This is whole-food organ meat, dried and bagged. There are no treat ingredients in it. No grain, no starch, no flavoring, no binders. We call it a treat because that's how most people will use it, but what's in the bag is closer to food than anything you'd find in the treat aisle. Feed it accordingly.
How much should I give my dog?
For a small dog, one bag typically lasts one to two weeks. For a large dog at a larger daily amount, plan on replenishing more frequently. Because pieces vary in size by batch, use weight as your guide rather than counting pieces. These are dense, nutrient-rich treats, not small training nibbles.
What does the research say about processed dog food?
A 2026 independent study by the Clean Label Project tested 79 top-selling dog foods and found that dry kibble contains dramatically higher levels of contaminants than fresh or minimally processed alternatives, including up to 21x more lead, 19x more mercury, 10x more cadmium, and 24x more acrylamide, a carcinogen formed during high-heat processing. Fresh and frozen food tested cleanest across every category. We're not kibble, and we're not processed. Whole-food organ meat, slow dehydrated, nothing added. You can read the full study at cleanlabelproject.org/dog-food-study.
Can I give these to a puppy or a senior dog?
Yes. The simple, whole-food format makes it easy to know exactly what your dog is getting, which is especially useful for dogs with sensitivities or older dogs on restricted diets. As always, consult your vet if your dog has specific health conditions.
What if my dog doesn't like them?
If your dog tries them and isn't interested, reach out. We'll make it right. Dogs have turned their noses up at stranger things, but real organ meat tends to have the opposite problem.
