Home Made Liver Treats for Dogs !

Good tip for today is that I heard you can make your own chicken liver dog treats which you can chop up and freeze. What a good money saving idea !
Here is the recipe I might try which I got from a friend :

• 2 cups Flour
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup wheat germ or cornmeal if wheat allergies are a problem
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tsp. parsley
• 1 cup cooked chicken liver, chopped or mixed in a mixture

Combine flour and wheat germ. In separate bowl, beat egg with oil, then add broth & parsley, mix well. Add the dry ingredients to bowl a little at a time, stirring well. Fold in chicken livers and mix well. Dough will be firm. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out 1/2" thick and cut into shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet 1" apart. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes or until firm. Store in refrigerator or freeze.

I will try this out and let you know how it goes !

Or for an easy life here are some liver treats to buy online.

As they are hard treats remember I think the dogs need to be over 3 months to eat them.  If you want to make or buy liver treats for puppies then you need to buy liver cake. I bought some lovely liver cake from Princess Sisky's Dog Treats at a local craft fair this weekend and Tika loves them ! However they are not available online.
