Dried Liver Treats

Submitted by Dreamer in Ontario

"Your dog is going to love these. Probably your cat, too It will keep all day while you carry it around in your pocket. When the liver is dried it can be stored in the fridge for about a week or in the freezer for about 3 months (in a sealed container)."

Simple, cheap and delicious. Been making this for my Old English since he was a puppy. Works with other meats as well, heart, kidney etc. Everytime I make them, they seem to turn out different though, but dog loves them each way

Seems to be a lot of controversy over the garlic. Dr. Dressler, in his book, Dog Cancer Survival Guide, includes a home cooked recipe that includes a small amount of garlic. Garlic is known to have cancer fighting properties. However, unless you are giving this as a therapeutic for cancer treatment I believe it would be best to avoid the garlic. Why take the risk? If the dogs don't like the treats without garlic then don't feed them it at all. Mine love it without garlic [but they would eat the legs off my chairs if I key them. ] also, never give garlic to puppies less than 6 months.

Dogs love liver treats and I use them as a high value reward. Liver should be limited though when treating or feeding your dog. Garlic is an Allium and is a toxin to dogs & cats. There’s no benefit in giving your dog Garlic or a toxin even in small amounts. This liver recipe is perfectly delicious without the Garlic so WHY add it & risk your pet’s health?
