Premium Beef & Heart Raw Mince – Nutritious Raw Feeding by Durham's
Provide your dog with the ancestral nutrition they crave. Durham's Beef and Beef Heart Mince is a coarse-ground raw meal that balances the power of muscle meat with the unique benefits of heart. Sourced from high-quality British livestock, this 454g block is an essential component for any balanced raw food diet.
Heart is often classified as a muscle meat in raw feeding circles, but it functions as a "super-organ" due to its incredible density of micronutrients. Feeding heart provides your dog with a natural boost that synthetic vitamins simply cannot match.
Key Health Benefits of Beef & Heart
Adding Durham's Beef and Heart mince to your dog's bowl offers specific physiological advantages:
- Rich in Taurine: Beef heart is a fantastic natural source of Taurine, an amino acid vital for maintaining healthy cardiac function and preventing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
- Energy & Vitality: Contains high levels of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant that supports energy production at a cellular level and promotes longevity.
- B Vitamin Powerhouse: Loaded with Vitamin B12 and Riboflavin, which are essential for a healthy metabolism and nervous system.
- Essential Minerals: Provides a natural source of Zinc, Phosphorus, and Selenium to support a strong immune system and healthy joints.
- Highly Palatable: The rich, iron-heavy flavour of beef heart is irresistible to even the fussiest eaters.

How should I store these 454g blocks?
Keep the blocks frozen until ready to use. We recommend thawing Durham's minces in a sealed container at the bottom of your fridge.
Is this mince suitable for puppies?
Yes! Beef and heart are excellent for growing puppies as they provide the high-quality protein and amino acids needed for healthy development.
