BOL RED HEART SPANISH TREATS
Out of Stock
Bark Out Loud Red Hearts Soft Chews by Bark Out Loud by Vivaldis are a premium, European-manufactured complementary treat for dogs, purpose-designed to address one of the most persistent gaps in everyday canine care: the near-total absence of prebiotic support, micronutrient enrichment, and antioxidant protection in conventional commercial dog treats. Standard treats in the market offer palatability alone, with minimal nutritional contribution and no active support for the gut microbiome, immune function, or cellular health. Bark Out Loud Red Hearts targets these gaps directly, delivering a heart-shaped soft moist chew crafted from fresh chicken and enriched with a curated blend of prebiotics, Vitamins A, D3 and E, essential minerals, and natural antioxidants. Manufactured in Spain by United Petfood Spain S.L., a globally trusted contract manufacturer producing pet food to European Union regulatory standards, and imported and marketed by Vivaldis Health and Foods Pvt. Ltd. in India, these treats carry the dual assurance of internationally benchmarked manufacturing and a veterinary science-led brand. Sugar-free, soft, moist, and irresistibly flavourful, Red Hearts are as easy on your canine companion's sensitive teeth and gums as they are on their gut and immune system. Animeal is proud to offer Bark Out Loud Red Hearts Soft Chews as part of our curated range of premium canine treats and daily wellness essentials.
Ingredients:
Fresh Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus - Muscle Meat): Fresh chicken provides the primary protein matrix of this treat, delivering a complete profile of essential and non-essential amino acids including leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan, which are required for the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass, immune cell biosynthesis, tissue repair, and enzyme production. As the first ingredient, fresh chicken ensures the treat is predominantly protein-based with minimal filler content, providing a highly palatable flavour foundation that appeals naturally to the carnivorous palatability preferences of your canine companion.
Prebiotics (Fructooligosaccharides - FOS): Prebiotics are selectively fermentable dietary fibres that are not digested in the small intestine but instead travel intact to the large intestine, where they serve as the preferred substrate for the growth and activity of beneficial commensal bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. The fermentation of FOS by these bacteria produces short-chain fatty acids including butyrate, propionate, and acetate. Butyrate in particular functions as the primary energy substrate for colonocytes, reinforcing the structural integrity of the gut mucosal lining and reducing intestinal permeability. By selectively promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, prebiotics simultaneously suppress the colonisation and competitive advantage of pathogenic organisms, actively contributing to a balanced, resilient gut microbiome and improved stool consistency, digestion, and nutrient absorption in your canine companion.
Vitamin A (Retinyl Acetate): Vitamin A in its esterified retinyl form is absorbed in the small intestine and converted to retinol, the biologically active form that plays an indispensable role in epithelial cell differentiation, mucosal barrier maintenance across the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and normal retinal photoreceptor function. At the immune level, Vitamin A is required for the differentiation of naive T-cells into regulatory T-cells and for the normal maturation of dendritic cells, making adequate intake a prerequisite for a balanced, responsive immune system in dogs.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Cholecalciferol undergoes sequential hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys to produce calcitriol, the most biologically active form of Vitamin D, which binds to the Vitamin D receptor expressed in intestinal epithelial cells to upregulate calcium and phosphorus transport proteins. This genomic action directly governs the absorption efficiency of both minerals from the gut, making D3 the master regulator of skeletal mineralisation, bone density maintenance, and neuromuscular calcium signalling in dogs across all life stages.
Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol): Natural-source Vitamin E is the most potent lipid-soluble chain-breaking antioxidant in the body, functioning within phospholipid bilayers of cellular membranes to intercept and neutralise lipid peroxyl radicals before they can initiate a damaging chain reaction of membrane lipid peroxidation. Beyond its antioxidant role, Vitamin E modulates immune responsiveness by supporting T-lymphocyte proliferation and natural killer cell activity, and protects red blood cell membranes from oxidative haemolysis. Regular Vitamin E supplementation through the daily diet supports cellular longevity, immune competence, and the healthy maintenance of skin barrier lipid integrity in your canine companion.
Essential Minerals Complex: The mineral complement in Red Hearts supports a broad spectrum of physiological functions at the cellular and systemic level. Calcium and phosphorus work in concert to provide the inorganic mineral scaffold of hydroxyapatite crystals that constitute bone tissue, and both are essential for neuromuscular transmission and ATP energy metabolism. Trace minerals including zinc, iron, and selenium play cofactor roles in immune enzyme systems: zinc activates over 300 metalloenzymes including DNA polymerase and alkaline phosphatase; iron is the central atom of the haem group in haemoglobin and myoglobin, governing systemic oxygen transport; and selenium is an essential component of glutathione peroxidase, the primary selenoprotein antioxidant enzyme protecting cellular components from peroxidative damage.
Natural Antioxidants The antioxidant compounds incorporated into Red Hearts function both as ingredient stabilisers during storage and as bioavailable free radical scavengers when consumed. In the body, dietary antioxidants reinforce the endogenous enzymatic antioxidant defence network, reducing the burden on the body's own glutathione and superoxide dismutase systems. Regular dietary antioxidant support is particularly important in active dogs and ageing dogs, where oxidative stress loads are elevated by exercise-induced reactive oxygen species production and age-related decline in endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity.
