The advantage of using your own dog liver treats recipe to make the dog treats is that you can control the ingredients and you don't use harmful preservatives.

This recipe uses all natural whole grains and I've included brewer's yeast as well.

Brewer's yeast is rich in B complex vitamins, is heart-healthy and helps to keep the fleas away from your pet. And the oatmeal helps to keep your pet's cholesterol count down!

This liver dog treats recipe is made from healthy ingredients and is nutritious for your dog—but there is a caveat to this.

The treats are rich in iron – which is a good thing. But, as with many things in life, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing!

By the way, this also applies to other treats that have lots of meat. Dogs are not true carnivores (in contrast, cats are true carnivores). Even though meat and iron are very healthy for your dog, you want to make sure that your dog doesn't get too much meat and iron!

Skipper, our miniature schnauzer, loves these homemade dog biscuits liver treats. I give them to her as a special treat, and she gobbles them up—sometimes before they could hit the floor! I think that your dog will like them too!

Here's the recipe...

Ingredients for Dog Liver Treats

• ½ pound of chicken livers
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• ¾ cup soy flour
• ¼ cup wheat bran
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1cup dry milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 ¼ cup water
• 1/4 cup canola oil

Directions

• Cook the chicken livers. I usually just steam them or boil them until they are done.

• Drain the livers.

• Place the chicken livers, water, and oil in a blender or food processor and process until the mixture is smooth.

• Put the liver mixture in a large mixing bowl.

• Add the other ingredients slowly and mix until they are completely mixed together. I use the dough hook on my mixer, as the dough gets pretty stiff. If you don't have a mixer with a dough hook, you can finish mixing everything by using your hands.

• Take sections of dough and roll each chunk until it is 1/4” thick.

• Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into ¾-1” squares.

• Using a spatula, transfer the dog biscuits onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

• Bake the liver biscuits for 30-45 minutes at 300 degrees F or until they are nicely browned.

• Turn off the oven and let the biscuits continue to dry in the oven overnight. They will be very dry and crisp in the morning.

Because these liver dog treats contain fresh liver, I always refrigerate or freeze the biscuits to make sure that they stay fresh. Any pet treat that contains meat should be refrigerated for safety.
