Product Information
Full details
This guide is for dog owners seeking a high-quality, single-ingredient training treat. The key benefit is providing a nutrient-rich, easily digestible reward that supports coat health and is suitable for dogs with sensitivities. A potential caveat is the small size, which may not be suitable for very large dogs as a standalone treat. These treats are made from 100% naturally air-dried ox liver, offering essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-6 fatty acids in a gluten-free, hypoallergenic, and low-fat formula. They can be broken into smaller pieces or sprinkled on food.

FAQs
What makes these treats hypoallergenic?
They are made from a single ingredient (ox liver) and are naturally free from common allergens like grains, gluten, dairy, and soy, making them suitable for dogs with sensitivities.
Can these treats be used for dogs with pancreatitis?
These treats are low in fat, which is generally beneficial. However, due to the richness of liver, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new treats to a dog with a condition like pancreatitis.
How many treats can I give my dog per day?
These are intended as a complementary treat. As a general guideline, treats should not make up more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake. Adjust based on your dog's size, activity level, and overall diet. Always monitor your dog's weight and health.
Are these treats suitable for cats?
While cats can digest liver, these treats are specifically formulated and marketed for dogs. It's recommended to use products designed for the specific species.
What is the '1 Ingredient Award of Specialness'?
This likely refers to the brand's recognition or marketing emphasis on the product's purity, being made from only one ingredient without any artificial additives or preservatives.
Can I break these treats into smaller pieces?
Yes, the treats are quite dry and can be easily broken by hand or cut with a knife into smaller pieces, which is ideal for training smaller dogs or for more frequent rewards.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Please refer to the 'best before' date printed on the packaging. Once opened, it's best to use them within a few weeks, ensuring the bag is tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Treats seem stale or dry
Ensure the packaging has been properly resealed after each use. Store in a cool, dry place as directed. If stale, they may be less palatable but still safe to use, especially if crumbled on food.
Dog is not interested in the treats
While highly palatable for most dogs, individual preferences vary. Try breaking them into smaller pieces or crumbling them onto their regular food as an appetizer to increase appeal.
Treats are too hard for a very young puppy or senior dog
Gently break the treats into smaller pieces with your fingers or a knife. For extremely soft needs, you can briefly soak a small piece in warm water to soften further.
