The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support

Feeding a simplified, species-appropriate diet starts with understanding what each component contributes. At The Raw Concierge, we offer two distinct boneless options designed to support different feeding preferences—while maintaining clean sourcing, single-protein integrity, and nutritional intention.

What’s the difference?

Boneless Blends (100% Muscle Meat)

Our Boneless Blends are composed of 100% muscle meat from a single protein source.

These blends are most commonly used by cat owners and experienced raw feeders who prefer to:

• Build meals from the ground up

• Customize organ and supplement ratios independently

• Maintain full control over every component of the diet

Because these blends contain only muscle meat, they still naturally contain taurine—as all raw meat does—but they are intentionally simple and flexible and do not include additional taurine-rich organ sources like heart, which provide even higher concentrations of this essential nutrient.

The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support

The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support is our enhanced boneless format designed to address one of the most common considerations in raw feeding—natural taurine intake.

Each blend contains:

• 90% muscle meat

• 10% heart from the same animal

This keeps every formula strictly single protein, while adding a targeted functional component to support nutritional completeness.

Rather than incorporating multiple organs or complex formulations, this approach focuses on one intentional addition—heart—while keeping the base clean, simple, and highly digestible.

At this time, this is a uniquely focused category that offers:

• Single protein integrity

• Boneless muscle meat base

• Controlled 10% heart inclusion only

Why Add Heart?

Heart is technically a muscle, but nutritionally it functions as a taurine-rich organ source. It is one of the most bioavailable whole-food contributors of:

• Taurine

• CoQ10

• Heme iron

• Essential amino acids

Taurine is especially important for cats, who require it in higher amounts and cannot synthesize sufficient levels on their own.

By incorporating 10% heart, The Coeur Collection helps:

• Support natural taurine intake through whole food sources

• Reduce reliance on synthetic supplementation

• Move closer to a whole-prey nutritional profile

• Provide added confidence in taurine adequacy

Which Option Should You Choose?

Choose Boneless Blends (100% Muscle Meat) if you:

• Prefer complete control over organ inclusion

• Are following a fully customized or formulated raw diet

• Already supplement taurine or feed additional organ meats separately

Choose The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support if you:

• Want a more nutritionally complete starting point

• Are concerned about taurine levels in muscle-meat-only diets

• Prefer a simplified approach with built-in organ support

• Feed primarily cats or taurine-sensitive animals

• Still want a clean, single-protein formula

Single Protein Integrity

Both Boneless Blends and The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support are strictly single protein.

This means:

• The muscle meat and heart (when included) come from the same animal

• No cross-protein mixing

• Ideal for elimination diets and sensitive pets

• Greater transparency and traceability in sourcing

Available Protein Options

Both formats are available across a wide range of thoughtfully sourced proteins to support rotation and dietary sensitivity.

Red Meats & Novel Proteins

• Beef (grass-fed and finished)

• Lamb (grass-fed and pasture-raised)

• Venison (wild-harvested)

• Elk (wild-harvested)

• Antelope (wild-harvested)

• Pork (pasture-raised)

Poultry

• Chicken (free-range)

• Turkey (free-range)

• Duck (free-range)

Each protein is available in:

• Boneless Blends (100% muscle meat)

• The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support (90% muscle meat + 10% heart)

Adding Organ Variety to the Diet

While the addition of heart supports taurine intake, a balanced raw diet often includes a broader range of organs.

For those looking to introduce additional organ variety in a simple, controlled way, we offer an Organs Only Boneless Raw Blend. This blend is thoughtfully formulated with:

• 1/3 heart

• 1/3 kidney or gizzards

• 1/3 liver

It is available in six different single-protein options, making it easy to rotate proteins while maintaining dietary consistency for sensitive pets.

This option can be paired with either Boneless Blends or The Coeur Collection to build a more complete, whole-prey-inspired diet without sourcing individual organs separately.

Why Cat Owners Often Choose Boneless Blends

Cats thrive on high-protein, species-appropriate diets, and many raw feeders prefer to:

• Control exact nutrient ratios

• Add organs separately

• Supplement strategically

Boneless Blends offer maximum flexibility for this approach.

The Coeur Collection adds a more structured option for those who want built-in functional support—especially for taurine.

A Thoughtful Approach to Raw Feeding

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, these two categories allow you to choose the level of control and nutritional support that best fits your feeding style.

Whether you prefer to build from the ground up or start with a more functionally complete base, both options are designed with:

• Clean, ethical sourcing

• Minimal processing

• Single-protein transparency

• Alignment with ancestral feeding principles

Learn More About Taurine in Raw Feeding

Taurine is one of the most discussed nutrients in raw feeding—especially for cats. While heart is a natural way to support taurine intake, understanding how taurine functions in a raw diet can provide additional clarity and confidence in how you feed.

Final Considerations

Both Boneless Blends and The Coeur Collection: Whole Muscle Support are designed as part of a balanced raw feeding approach.

A complete diet may also include:

• Additional organ variety (liver, kidney, etc.)

• Calcium or bone sources

• Protein rotation across multiple species
