Beef Liver and Oat Squares


Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz beef liver, cooked and chopped (most nutrient-dense protein available)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (heart-healthy fiber and binding)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted chicken broth (moisture and familiar flavor)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped carrots (beta-carotene and natural sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Cook beef liver completely and let cool—proper preparation ensures food safety and best texture for blending.
  2. In blender, pulse cooked liver, rolled oats, and chicken broth until smooth—your dog will get excited from the incredibly nutritious aroma.
  3. Transfer mixture to bowl and stir in beaten egg and finely chopped carrots until evenly distributed.
  4. Spread evenly in greased 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish—uniform thickness ensures even cooking and cutting.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until set and slightly browned—squares should feel firm when pressed.
  6. Cool completely before cutting into squares—patience prevents crumbling and creates clean portions!

Notes:

  • Use only fresh, high-quality beef liver from reputable sources
  • Cook liver completely before blending for food safety
  • Start with small portions for dogs new to organ meat

Storage Tips:

  • Refrigerate for up to 1 week in airtight containers
  • Freeze for up to 3 months (nutrients remain stable)
  • Cut into appropriate sizes before storing
  • Perfect for therapeutic feeding and supplementation

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Beef liver provides more nutrients per ounce than any other food, including bioavailable iron, B-vitamins, and vitamin A. The square format makes precise dosing easy for therapeutic feeding while oats provide digestible fiber and familiar texture.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Digestive Support: Add small amount of pumpkin puree for extra fiber

Training Size: Cut into tiny squares for high-value training rewards

Smooth Texture: Blend carrots completely for dogs with chewing difficulties
