Liver Bread

Submitted by Goldragon

"I use this recipe as bait for my show dogs and as a treat for my obedience dogs. I can just throw it into my tack box and go. I freeze it in batches of 10-12 1x4 sticks. I have only met about 3 dogs that did not like this treat."

Woof!! My dogs loved this stuff! It was easy to make (a little sloppy) and not for the faint of stomach - but if you love your dog(s) like I do, you're up for the challenge. This cuts nicely into squares of your choice, which was great for me as one of my dogs is 4#, one is 9#, and the other is 100#! A great way to use up the liver I had in my freezer - I used pork & lamb. So, Goldragon: Toby, Sindee & Keywee thank you so much for this recipe!

I heard about this at a dog training class and had to try it. The dogs loved every step of the process! I will say that my bread did rise while being baked so next time I will do a thinner layer in the baking pan. I also did reduce the amount of garlic powder since it can be toxic to dogs. I also had bacon fat from baking bacon this morning and used that to keep the bread from sticking and added some into the mix for extra flavor and that worked perfectly. No sticking at all here!

I'm guessing Storm would give this 5 stars. I gave her two pieces and she has since laid down on the kitchen floor in front of the counter where the rest of the batch is right now. As in...I'm not moving in case there's more in it for me! I used 1 lb liver and 1 box of Jiffy (that's what I had). From that, I got one jelly roll pan of treats. Thanks for sharing. WARNING: I really like liver, but before it was baked, this was quite possibly the grossest thing I've ever had in my kitchen.

Jimmy says thanks! He loves this recipe. He is by my side drooling as soon as I pull out the chicken livers. The smell as they cook drives him crazy! LOL! He knows what's coming. LOL! This recipe makes one large cookie sheet worth of treats at my house. I use Baker's Joy to spray my pan down and I have no trouble removing these from the pan to cool on a rack. My only word of caution is that some pets have severe corn allergies so be careful. :)

This is a most wonderful treat. Actually I dropped the garlic, and added a fresh bunch of Italian parsley (ground up). As Blitz is one of those smart Weims, I told him during the whole process that this is going to be his. He watched and waited attentively, but as it was baking my mouth watered. Yummy fragrance (really!). When it came out of the oven, he had no choice but to share it with me. Then along slunk our cat, and you can guess what happened next. Anyway it is a healthy treat and I know what is in it. I am about to make it again, and this time will add chopped carrots too. Almost like cooking for kids, you know? Disguise the healthy stuff.
