Eastern Food Therapy is the thousands-of-years-old idea that food is medicine. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, the basic thought is that specific ingredients and food preparations can balance the body’s energetic properties (Yin and Yang) to promote health and wellness. There are three classes of food — warming, cooling and neutral — that can counteract a body’s specific imbalances. Long used on the human body, the idea is now in the pet space, and some pet food companies are using the practice to create their own formulas aimed at helping animals live their best lives.
Side By Side is one such company, focusing on the unique needs of its customers’ pets to offer warming, cooling or neutral formulas to ensure the best possible nutrition.
