Making dehydrated liver dog treats at home is a great way to provide your furry friend with a tasty and healthy snack. These treats are rich in protein and can be made with just a few simple ingredients.

To get started, you'll need some liver, which is a nutrient-rich organ meat that's perfect for dogs. Liver is a great source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, vitamin A, and vitamin D.

You can use either beef or chicken liver for this recipe, whichever your dog prefers. Some dogs go crazy for the taste of beef liver, while others prefer the milder flavor of chicken liver.

Dehydrating liver dog treats is a straightforward process that requires minimal equipment. You'll need a dehydrator or your oven on the lowest temperature setting.

Making the Treats

Place sliced liver into the dehydrator on its highest setting. This is a crucial step in creating the perfect dehydrated liver dog treats.

We've found that using a high-quality dehydrator like the Excalibur nine-tray model makes a big difference in the final product. It allows us to set a timer and leave the treats to dehydrate for 24 hours or longer.

It's worth noting that the dehydrating time will vary depending on the thickness of your liver slices. For thicker slices, it's best to plan for at least 16 hours of dehydrating time.

Now that we've got our liver sliced and ready to go, it's time to set the temperature and let the magic happen. Set the temperature on your dehydrator to 160° degrees Fahrenheit.

You'll want to dehydrate for at least 5-6 hours, or until you achieve the desired level of dehydration. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overcook, as this can affect the final texture of your treats.

Usage and Care

Always supervise your dog while they're eating the treats, and make sure they have a bowl of fresh water available at all times. This is crucial for their health and well-being.

Feeding Instructions

Treat your dog to Bon Apawtit's in moderation, as they shouldn't replace regular food or occasional tummy rubs.

Make sure your dog doesn't consume the whole bag at once, and treats should make up no more than 10% of their daily diet.

Always supervise your dog while they're eating treats, and keep a bowl of fresh water available at all times.

Introduce Bon Apawtit's slowly to your dog if it's their first time trying them, and monitor for possible allergic reactions.

Bon Apawtit's can be broken into small pieces as a meal topper, making them a convenient and tasty addition to your dog's meals.

Storage and Handling

The treats come packed in a resealable stand-up pouch, making it easy to grab and go, or store at home. This pouch also contains natural Silica Gel to absorb moisture.

Best consume the treats within 30 days of opening to ensure freshness and safety.

Upon receiving your order, transferring the treats to an air-tight container with silica gel is a good idea, and storing them at room temperature is best. Avoid storing near a heat source or direct sunlight, and keep them dry and away from liquids.

Storing an open pack in the fridge or freezer can actually add moisture back into the treats, which can lead to mold growth.
