Beef Liver Bites For Dogs

We have been getting a lot of requests for a one-ingredient treat from our customers, and we're happy to announce that we delivered! ButcherBox For Pets is now offering single-ingredient, freeze-dried, grass-fed Beef Liver Bites! These treats have the benefits of being highly palatable, highly nutritious, lower in fat, and low mess! Let’s break down each of these benefits below.

Why Choose ButcherBox For Pets Beef Liver Bites?

Beef liver is a wonderful, simple single-ingredient treat for your dog. It's low in fat, meaning it’s relatively low in calories, yet still a high-value treat. Most tasty, high-value treats tend to be high in fat, which can upset your pet’s stomach. ButcherBox For Pets Beef Liver Bites are highly palatable (tasty!) making them a perfect training treat to help your dog learn even the most challenging tasks. These liver treats are ideal for potty training new puppies or incentivizing dogs to perform tasks they might not be highly motivated to do (like stopping barking, crate training, or coming when called away from distractions).

Unlike other high-value treats such as fresh meats or moist treats, ButcherBox For Pets Beef Liver Bites will not leave any greasy residue or cause excessive smells from your pockets. This means you can carry these treats in your pocket or in a treat bag without smelling like a walking barbecue or the Boston Harbor. The low mess and stink-free nature, combined with their light weight, make our beef liver treats an excellent option for travel.

Nutritional Benefits of Beef Liver Bites

Liver is a nutrient-dense food that can be a fantastic addition to your dog's treat plan. It contains high levels of protein, iron, zinc, vitamin A, B vitamins (especially B12), and copper. These nutrients support your dog’s overall health, including immune function, energy levels, and skin and coat health. However, remember that more of a good thing isn’t always better, and treats should not make up more than 10% of your dog's total calorie intake. Overdoing a nutrient-dense food like liver could lead to nutrient excess that might be detrimental to your pet's health. This applies to all treats, chews, and food toppers, and as long as you remember the 10% rule, you can treat safely.

Additional Uses for ButcherBox For Pets Beef Liver Bites

While ButcherBox For Pets Beef Liver Bites are perfect as training treats, they can be used in a variety of other creative and enriching ways for your dog:

Best Treating Practices with ButcherBox For Pets Beef Liver Bites

  • Introduce Gradually: Start with small amounts to see how your dog reacts.
  • Use as a Special Treat: Given its richness, beef liver is best used as an occasional treat rather than a regular snack.
  • Follow the 10% Rule: For example, a 50 lb dog who is moderately active and needs about 1000 calories a day should not exceed 100 calories per day in treats (1000 x 0.10 = 100). This means you can safely set aside 100 calories per day for treats and toppers.
