Coco-Carnivore Meatballs – Beef + Orange + Coconut

1. What ingredients are in the Beef + Orange + Coconut meatballs? 

A: These unique treats are made from only five ingredients: beef heart, beef kidney, beef liver (for a trio of organ meats), plus real oranges and organic coconut chips. That’s it! No grains, no preservatives. The beef organs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, while the oranges add a touch of natural sweetness and vitamin C. The coconut chips contribute dietary fiber and healthy fats. Every ingredient is human-grade and sourced in the USA, so you know your pet is getting a pure and nutritious snack. 

2. Why include orange in a dog and cat treat & is it safe? 

A: The bits of orange in this recipe are absolutely safe and beneficial in small amounts. Oranges are rich in antioxidants (like vitamin C and flavonoids) which support immune health. In these meatballs, the orange also adds a light, sweet citrus note that complements the rich beef flavor. Pets often don’t even notice the fruit; they just enjoy the yummy taste! The orange pieces are dried and finely mixed in, so they’re easy to digest. It’s a clever way to sneak a little extra nutrition into a treat without any fuss from your furry friend. 

3. My pet is allergic to common proteins. Are these beef treats a good option? 

A: Yes, if your dog or cat can’t have chicken or turkey, these single-protein beef meatballs are a great alternative. They contain only beef organs as the protein source, making them suitable for pets on limited-ingredient or novel protein diets. They’re also free of common allergens like wheat, corn, soy, and dairy. Many pets with food sensitivities do well with simple recipes like this. As always, introduce any new protein slowly if your pet has known allergies, but CocoTherapy’s minimalist ingredient list is ideal for sensitive tummies and itchy pets looking for relief. 

4. How do I feed CocoTherapy Beef & Orange Meatballs to my pet? 

A: You can offer the meatball treat directly to your dog or cat – the size is a bit bigger than a bite, about an inch across, so larger dogs may crunch it in one go, while smaller pets might chew or need it broken up. Feel free to crumble it into smaller pieces for training rewards, or rehydrate it in a little warm water if your pet prefers a softer texture (this also releases a tempting aroma!). Some pet parents even crumble these beef meatballs over dinner as a nutritious topper. Because they’re rich (organ meats are nutrient-dense), a little goes a long way! One or two meatballs per day as treats is plenty for a medium dog, and perhaps half of one for a cat. Always supervise to ensure they chew properly.  

5. Do Coco-Carnivore Beef + Orange treats need refrigeration? How should I store them? 

A: No refrigeration is needed. These treats are raw freeze-dried, which means almost all moisture is removed, giving them a long shelf life at room temperature. Keep the meatballs in their resealable pouch, sealed tightly after each use, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. This keeps the natural flavors and texture intact. Because they have no preservatives, it’s best to use an opened bag within a few weeks. But given how much pets love them, the treats rarely last that long in the pantry!
