Dehydrated Chicken Liver Treats for Dogs Recipe

Try this healthy alternative to heavily processed store-bought biscuits.

20-30 servings SERVINGS

Ingredients

1 pound chicken liver, rinsed

Directions

Spray the dehydrator trays with nonstick spray.
If any livers are too thick, use a fork to flatten them slightly.
Lay out livers on dehydrator trays, leaving space between them so there will be good air circulation throughout the trays.
Allow livers to dehydrate, check drying level periodically.
When livers are noticeably dryer, swap position of drying trays and allow to further dehydrate, roughly 4 hours. (Drying times will vary by model of dehydrator.)
Once done, allow the chicken livers to cool, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (although they didn't last anywhere near that long here . . . our dogs loved them!) or freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Try this dehydrated chicken liver treats for dogs recipe as an alternative to heavily processed store-bought biscuits.

In recent years, numerous dog deaths and illnesses have been attributed to tainted jerky chews. There’s absolutely no need to put your dog’s health or your own peace of mind at risk, though, because it’s super easy to make your own healthy jerky and chews for your dog. You’ll know just how the chews were prepared, and you’ll know they were created with human-grade ingredients.

Homemade jerky chews also have the advantage of letting you customize the thickness and chewiness of the chew based on your own dog. If you have a senior who is missing some teeth, create a softer chew. If you’re sharing your home with a young chewing machine, create a tougher chew. Even better–you can make them all for a fraction of the price you’d pay for chews in the store.
