Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | Freezed dried 100% beef liver Ok so I am looking to get some freezed dried liver for my 5 but as i was searching for them i ran across several brands and have never dealt with any so my question is do you use them and if so which brand do you prefer? Also i read that you can give 1-2 pieces to a small dog a day and was wondering what you are giving yours? Thanks

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I used this Stewart® Pro-Treat® Beef Liver Treats for Dogs - Treats & Rawhide - Dog - PetSmart during a trick training class, and Joey really loved it. It was the only store bought treat he loved week after week. I bought many things he lost interest in after a while. However, it's very expensive, and I thought overpriced. You can buy beef liver very cheap, about 1-2 dollars a pound. Most grocers have them in their freezer. If you boil it 30 minutes and cut it into one inch squares and bake in 250 over for a few hours until it seems dry, you get a lot of treats for your money. I kept the treats in the freezer and just kept a week’s supply in the fridge. They are nice because you can keep them on you in a bag and they don't spoil if left out all day. Joey absolutely loved them. If you prefer buying some, buy beef liver not chicken liver.

Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | i made a batch recently and mine loved it...of course i didn't know how much is too much so i didn't give it to them daily or much and they started molding after 2 weeks so i had to throw out half the batch...and was reading somewhere and all i kept seeing was freezed dried liver and since it was not cooked it holds more nutrients supposedly. so i was wanting to try them since others have mention them. do petsmart carry them in store by chance or do you have to order them online? and would 1-2 pieces a day be ok or is that too much in fat?

By the way, if your's molded after two weeks, you may have not dried them out enough in the oven. Mine have never molded, and I forgot about one jar in the fridge and it was probably in there a year, I threw it out, but they really looked the same.

Since all the issues with the chicken treats from China, I made my own chicken treats, as well as Sweet Potato, Yams and carrots. I slice sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley and bake in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 or 3 hours. My 4 love the treats. Will have to make them some of the liver treats, thanks for the recipe. | |

It is my understanding that garlic contains a sulfur-containing alkaloid compound which can be toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. I have made dehydrated chicken treats using fresh parsely and fresh mint that I have finely chopped and added to my freshly ground chicken breast before dehydrating. I do not used dried herbs unless they are organic.
