CHICKEN LIVER BENEFITS FOR DOGS

Chicken livers are a good source of vitamins, minerals and protein for dogs. It's also a great source of omega-3. It does have a high fat content so should be served in moderation.

We find our chicken livers in the freezer section of stores sold in tubs. If you have a butcher they should be able to provide you with fresh livers.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN LIVER MEATBALLS

Before you make the meatballs, the chicken liver must be cooked first. They are then blended with the other ingredients and baked.

Unlike chicken meatballs for humans, these chicken meatballs are not seasoned. Salt and pepper are not suitable for dogs digestion.

INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken livers - If you purchase frozen livers, ensure that they are completely defrosted before cooking.
  • Spinach - Kale could be used instead.
  • Parsley - Fresh parsley is great for dogs nutrition.
  • Coconut flour - This flour is a great source of fiber and is gluten free too.
  • Nutritional Yeast - A small amount of nutritional yeast is a great source of B vitamins and protein for dogs.
  • Egg

HOW TO FREEZE CHICKEN LIVER MEATBALLS

These chicken meatballs dog treats freeze very well. Store them in an air tight container or zip lock bag and they will last for up to 4 months in the freezer.

Defrost them in the fridge and ensure that they are thoroughly defrosted. Reheat them in the oven for

STORING THE MEATBALLS

Keep the meatballs in an air tight container, ready for snacks and dinner. They should last 4 to 5 days in the fridge.

RECIPE TIPS

The coconut flour can be swapped with other flours but the quantity may need to be increased.

If your dog is new to chicken liver, feed them a small bit at a time for them to get them used to it.

    My pugs love this. I don't have coconut flour, so i used ground flaxseed mixed with oatmeal flour. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
