NeedlenoseJake Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We feed raw, but Jake doesn't like the taste (or texture?) of raw liver. He refuses to eat it. We end up cooking it for him, but as you can imagine it's messy and smells up the house! I bought some dried 100% beef liver the other day and he loves it. Will this do for his organ meat, or do we have to keep cooking the liver. I'll do it if he needs it, but man it stinks!

heartdogs Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It should be good. I feed freeze dried turkey hearts & my kids love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Fletcher hated raw liver, he didn't like things with a slimy texture (I don't either ) I used the freeze dried, I figured it was better than none at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Don't see why it wouldn't be fine. Freeze dried beef liver was one of the few things Rex loved at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTRAWLD Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 i think it's fine. I'm deviating a bit, but it's timely - I was going over just this evening regarding what dried liver nutrients is in Springtime supplements and they had some interesting analysis breakdown in their dried formula that they put in their various supplements. Liver in general is good stuff to feed, full of vitamins and minerals, so I'd have to say dry or raw, they would likely be getting the same out of it. For easy organs to feed, I always went with chicken hearts. Cheap and very easy to add to food, since one little heart was generally enough to make up the ratio. On an aside, have you considered tripe instead of liver? Tripe can be a pretty good all around substitute for organs a few times a week.

RedHead Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Dried liver is fine but just remember to take into account the dried vs raw amounts. You need liver for certain vitamins but you don't want to overdose. You will be feeding less of the dehydrated (I am sure there are formulas if you google it to convert the amounts).

NeedlenoseJake Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks for the replies! Sounds like some dried liver a few times a week should be good. Unfortunately he's a brat and won't eat chicken hearts either! I am actually planning on buying some canned tripe today to try it out. I hear nose plugs will be in order!
