    i was told to give jasper a little tip bit of raw liver, so i tried this, jasper spat it out, rolled over it and looked at it like it was a full grown animal, any one else seen any thing like this, :)

    I have a dehydrator that I bought off amazon and I use it for nothing else but to dry liver for the dogs. The pieces are easy to carry in my pocket, not dried to a crisp but slightly gooey in the middle. As far as the dogs are concerned it is the best treat in the world and even my Alice who is not food motivated at all goes absolutely mad for it. None of them are very keen on raw liver though.

    I know people who bake it in the oven to get a similar texture to dehydrated liver. I just can't stand the smell of liver cooking. The dehydrator is set up in an outhouse because it does give off a strange smell. :eek:

    Not raw, only dried. We have a dehydrator but found drying liver in it all a bit full-on, LOL. So we buy it pre-dried. Very high in iron!

    I get mine at pet shops (I am in Australia). I'd say that UK pet shops would stock it too :) It'd be cheaper to dry your own if you don't mind the aroma :)
