Dried Liver Treats

Recipe #223415 | 2¾ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

Your dog is going to love these. Probably your cat, too (omit garlic if making this for your cat). 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). Regarding garlic and dogs: Many dogs enjoy the taste of garlic and it's a natural flea repellent. A small bit of cooked garlic should not be toxic. However, according to the American Animal Hospital Association, raw and spoiled garlic is toxic and potentially fatal to dogs. Consult with your veterinarian before using and use in small quantities. This recipe instructs the cook to discard the garlic after it has been cooked.

    Hi Dreamer. Unfortunately, my two cats didn't like them. The one actually ran when we showed her one, LOL. And the other one, who usu. eats almost anything, turned his head. Next time, I'll use the liver for myself! Made for Zaar Stars.

    Well 2 out of the 3 dogs loved it. The third ate one then turned her nose up at the second one. I didnt have any whole garlic so I used a tablespoon of minced. I may try this again this summer since garlic is suppose to keep fleas away.

    Tigger (AKA Queen of Sheaba, Craybait or Miss FUSS Potts) completely turned her nose up at them but then she normally will only eat raw meat or cooked fish (never cooked meat or raw fish). Have given them to a friend to try on her dog and depending on their reaction will rate then. Made for 123 Hit Wonders. UPDATE - the neighbours dogs couldn't get enough absolutely loved it.
