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.

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.
