Welcome to Liver Dog Treats by Donna K. On Donna's chicken jerky page, we asked the same question:
Are you fed up with mass-market pet jerky and treats that contain ingredients you can't even pronounce?
Here are some of the main health benefits of feeding your best friend (dog!!!) dehydrated liver dog treats:
(Heck, I think I need to start eating liver...)

If you are tired of mass-produced treats, these easy-to-make treats made from beef liver will please your pet.
Make the jerky treats right in your kitchen on your dehydrator.
Donna says, "It's not imported, it's not full of God-knows-what. It has no preservatives. No added color, or fillers. It has ONE (as in '1') ingredient. You gotta love '1'."
Dehydrating liver creates a softer, yet concentrated texture compared to cooked liver. Dogs find this texture very easy to digest, chew, and break down... as you can see in Kylee's photo above.
Dehydrating these liver dog treats gives you an extended shelf life of months - rather than days or weeks - like fresh liver. You can store bags of these beneficial delicious doggie treats as the dehydration process retains nutrients better than just cooking alone.
Of course moderation is still key to prevent overfeeding any one food item - and that goes for humans too. But overall, homemade dehydrated liver dog treats provide dogs with an exceptionally healthy, supplemental reward that packs highly bioavailable vitamins, minerals and compounds. It taps into cravings dogs naturally have for organ meat.

As a change from chicken for my dogs, I use beef liver. They love these liver dog treats. The nice thing about beef liver is you don't have to slice it!
Donna jokes: "For me, that's a good thing as sharp knives and I don't go well together!"
NOTE: Spray the dehydrator trays first with non-stick spray and lay the liver on them.
Is it just me?
Can you see a wild animal running towards the right - or a hand with a finger pointing (top piece).
How about a man with a sword and shield (center, right).
And the bottom piece: A Halloween scene with a cat with a huge tail, and another smaller cat to its right, catching a fish!
As seen on Donna's chicken pet jerky page, the same test applies for "doneness."
Simply bend the liver quickly and if it breaks, it's done. If it only bends, then there's still too much moisture in it. Put it back on the dehydrator and check every 12 to 18 hours.
Take note that on rare occasions meat can go bad. One time Donna forgot to turn on the dehydrator... and the other time she tested out dehydrating her treats in her shed in the winter time... it didn't work.
Do the "sniff test." If it smells bad, throw it away. Our pets are too precious to give 'em bad meat.

Stiff Joints Eased, and Fresh Breath too!
For Donna's senior dog, Kylee (a fabulous 12-year-young German Shepherd shown on the right, below), Donna opens a capsule of glucosamine chondroitin and sprinkles it on the raw meat.
When the liver dries, it's a joint supplement and a treat—all in one!
Donna says "If your dog has bad breath, you can sprinkle the raw meat with a bit of mint leaves. Use your imagination... just try to keep it natural for your pet's health!"
