If you’ve ever given your dog a liver treat, you already know what happens.
Suddenly they’re right there.
Focused.
Alert.
Possibly sitting before you even ask.
That’s why beef liver dog treats are often called high-value treats. The smell alone is enough to get a dog’s full attention, which makes them perfect for training, rewards, or those “okay, you really deserve something special” moments.
But here’s the thing — you don’t actually need to buy them.
Making beef liver dog treats at home is way easier than it sounds.
Why Dogs Love Beef Liver So Much
It’s not magic. It’s instinct.
Beef liver is naturally rich, smelly (in a good-to-dogs way), and packed with nutrients. Dogs are drawn to it immediately.
That’s why beef liver treats:
Work insanely well for training
Get results even in tiny pieces
Feel extra special to dogs
Because liver is so rich, you don’t need much. One small piece goes a long way — which is honestly kind of perfect.
Are Beef Liver Dog Treats Safe?
Yes — as long as you don’t overdo it.
Liver is full of vitamin A, which is great in small amounts but not something dogs should eat constantly. That’s why beef liver works best as a treat, not a meal.
A few small treats a day? Totally fine for most dogs.
Homemade Beef Liver Dog Treats (No Fancy Stuff)
This is one of those recipes that looks impressive but is actually very simple. No special tools, no weird ingredients.
What you need:
250 g raw beef liver
1 egg
½ cup oat flour (or oats blended into flour)
½ cup plain pumpkin purée (no sugar, no spices)
Optional:
A splash of water if the mixture feels too thick
That’s it. Seriously.
How to Make Beef Liver Dog Treats
- Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F
Throw everything into a blender or food processor
Blend until smooth — it should look like thick pancake batter
Line a baking tray with parchment paper
Spread the mixture evenly (about 0.5–1 cm thick)
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until set in the middle
Let them cool, then cut into small pieces.
Done.
What They’re Like
These beef liver dog treats turn out:

Freezing small portions makes life easier.
