How to Feed Dogs Beef Liver
Beef liver should not make up more than 10% of your dogs diet. So, this should not be the only protein you give your dog. Beef liver makes a great food topper in addition to your dogs meals. Or, you can also use this as a high reward treat if you are training your dog.
The Biggest Mistake When Buying Beef Liver
When buying beef liver, make sure you are buying organic. My favorite and the one John John eats is Organic Prairie Beef Liver and you can order it online, so even if your grocery store doesn’t have it, it’s easy to get! You can even pick up some ground beef, pork, or chicken for you too!
The biggest mistake when buying beef liver is not buying organic. The liver is a cleansing organ. So, when conventional cows are fed a diet of grains, soy, corn, and GMOs, then the liver is what is going to filter these harmful chemicals and ingredients! And, that can then transfer into the conventional beef liver. So, buying organic is key for getting the most nutrients and benefits out of your beef liver for both humans and dogs!
Ingredients
- Coconut Oil: I use organic coconut oil so the beef liver doesn’t stick to the pan. This is a healthy fat for dogs and they love the flavor!
