A simple, gentle treat dogs instantly understand


If you’ve ever opened a bag of chicken liver treats, you’ve probably seen it happen.

Your dog notices immediately.
No hesitation.
No convincing.

That’s because chicken liver dog treats have a natural pull dogs don’t need to be taught. The smell, the richness, the texture — it all just makes sense to them.

And the best part? You don’t need to buy them.

Making chicken liver dog treats at home is one of those things that sounds more complicated than it actually is. Once you try it, it quietly becomes part of your routine.

Why Chicken Liver Works So Well

Chicken liver is naturally softer and milder than beef liver, which makes it a great option for:


  • Puppies

  • Senior dogs

  • Dogs with sensitive stomachs


It’s still rich and nutrient-dense, but it tends to be easier to digest. That’s why many dog parents reach for chicken liver dog treats when they want something effective without being too heavy.


They’re high-value without being overwhelming.


Homemade Chicken Liver Dog Treats (Simple Recipe)

This is one of those recipes where less really is more. No fancy tools, no long ingredient list.


What you need:

  • 250 g raw chicken liver

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup oat flour (or oats blended into flour)

  • ½ cup plain pumpkin purée (unsweetened)


Optional:

  • A small splash of water if the mixture feels too thick


How to Make Chicken Liver Dog Treats

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F

  2. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor

  3. Blend until smooth — thick but pourable

  4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper

  5. Spread the mixture evenly (about 0.5–1 cm thick)

  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until just set

  7. Let cool completely, then cut into small pieces


Are Chicken Liver Dog Treats Safe?

Yes — when fed in moderation.


Chicken liver contains vitamin A and other important nutrients, which is great in small amounts. Like all liver treats, it’s best used as a reward, not an everyday meal replacement.


Small pieces, given occasionally, work best.


What They’re Like

These chicken liver dog treats turn out:

  • Soft on the inside

  • Slightly firm on the outside

  • Easy to break into small training bits


They’re especially nice if you prefer treats that aren’t rock-hard or overly crumbly.


If you want them firmer, just bake a little longer or dry them out at a low temperature.


Storage Tips

Because these are homemade and preservative-free:


  • Fridge: 4–5 days in an airtight container

  • Freezer: Up to 3 months


Freezing small batches makes life easier.


A Few Simple Feeding Tips

  • Keep portions small — chicken liver is rich
  • Introduce new treats gradually

  • Never add salt, spices, garlic, or onions

  • Treats should support meals, not replace them


🐶 Final Thoughts

Chicken liver dog treats are popular for a reason.


They’re gentle, effective, and easy to make with ingredients you recognize. They don’t try to be impressive — they just work.


When you make them yourself, you know exactly what’s inside. No fillers. No preservatives. No second-guessing.


Just real food, made simply, and a dog who’s very happy to see you reach for the treat jar 🐶💛
