Liver dog treats with carrot made with gluten free flour

by Lesley
(Norwich, England)

Made the liver and carrot dog treats today, used gluten free flour instead of wheat as I'm gluten intolerant and that's what I had in the cupboard.

My dog, Kes, was very interested in the whole process, think it was the smell of the liver, and she snaffled a bit of carrot as usual.

Once in the oven she wandered off but as soon as they came out she was back and bouncing round the kitchen desperate for a taste. Her reaction on trying a cube was so funny, her tail was going round in circles, she had a grin on a her face and was begging for more. I think I can safely say I will be making more.

I'm back to work tomorrow and a couple of my colleagues also have dogs so will be taking some along for them to try.

And yes, before you ask, I did try them and they were tasty!

Liver and carrot dog treats were devoured

by Brenda

I have 2 dogs -one small Bichon and one that is 100 lb. mix breed and I made these and they were laying by the oven as they baked. They devoured them in just a few days, so easy to make and low cost.

Great recipe - Thanks from all of us!!!

I've read that dogs don't digest carrots?

I haven't made these yet, still picking out what Henry wants me to make him!

Chef's Answer ~ All the research I have done says that dogs can safely eat carrots. However, you can omit the carrots from this dog treat recipe, if you'd like.

To substitute the grated carrots, I would recommend 1/3 cup of canned green beans. If at all possible, use low sodium green beans, drain and rinse them. Then give them a rough chop before adding into the dog treat batter.

Liver & Carrot Dog Treats with a Substitution

by De
(Phoenix, AZ)

Oh My Gosh! My dogs knew I was making something for them and once the aroma was wafting through the house, all 4 of them (all lab X's) were hovering in and around the kitchen, drooling. lol

They absolutely loved them! Since I didn't have any carrots, I substituted natural apple sauce.

Thank you for this wonderful site. I'm going to try out other recipes.

Extending Shelf Life of Liver Dog Treats

by Kelly
(Montreal)

Hi, can you please tell me how I can make a liver carrot dog biscuit, dehydrate it enough so that it will have a minimum 7 month shelf life?

Thank you!

Chef's Answer ~ The liver and carrot recipe is meant to have a brownie or bread type texture, so you'll have to experiment with the recipe to get the shelf life you're looking for.

As a few suggestions to get you started....

1. Try using dried egg powder instead of a fresh egg. Anytime you can substitute a dried version of a dog treat recipe ingredient it will help the end product last longer.

2. Follow the recipe as it is currently, then after it bakes and rests for 5 minutes, cut into squares inside the pan. Then place back in the oven to dry out further. The amount of time you leave in the oven will depend on how dry you want it. I would start checking it every 5 minutes to see how it goes.

3. If you want your dog treats to last, and you don't want to freeze them, try adding natural preservatives and/or mixed tocopherols. Also, be sure to read my tips and techniques for storing homemade dog treats.

I have also answered similar questions regarding shelf life, storing and preservatives that may help you with this liver and carrot recipe on my Ask the Chef page.

Hope this helps! :)
