Is canned liver spread safe for dogs? What are the health concerns?

Hello again! Yes you can potentially feed this much, but she doesn't need it daily. It's a treat, and treats should never be given daily or they no longer are treats. In addition, too much liver can lead to an overdose of vitamin A, which in turn leads to bone deformity, bone spurs, digestive problems, muscle weakness, weight loss, and stiffness. It's better to limit it to three times a week.

It can be ok in small amounts, but do not give Lily large amounts of it. Calves liver would be better as it has less fat that beef liver, but again in small amounts. No more than 5% of the total diet.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can give these to Thunder as long as they are cooked. Raw organs are not recommended as they can contain a large amount of bacteria and that would not be good for him. Good luck and have a great day!

No, I would not recommend doing this. Too much raw liver (and cooked liver) can be toxic for dogs in that they will get too much Vitamin A, leading to bone deformity, excessive bone growth on the elbows and spine, weight loss, and anorexia. Your dog's dry food will give him all the nutrients he needs.

Hello and thank you for more explanations. If you cooked the liver with the bile, it may not be very tasty. Your dog may refuse to eat it because bile makes the food taste bitter. But it will not cause any health issues.

They make prescription food specifically for liver disease. Meat is not ideal a very small amount occasionally may not hurt, but each dog is different in the response and the amount. It is safer to stick with protein sources from vegetables and dairy products rather than meats

Hello. Yes, they can, but should they? Hot dogs are loaded with fats, sugars & salt & not very nutritious for us or for our pets. An occasional treat or taste is fine, but I have seen too many dogs get hooked on fatty meats & refuse to eat their regular diet. As a result, we see obesity, pancreatitis, organ damage & skin problems. If you want to treat Piper, or use a small piece as a training aid, that is fine, as long as she eats a good balanced dog food diet daily.
