Stewart Pro-Treat Beef Liver Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats

The large (21 oz) bucket of freeze-dried beef liver is a great value and I'm really glad I went for it to use as training treats. The only downside is that many of the pieces are large chunks and need to be cut to "training size", which can be tedious, but it's still worth it to give something wholesome and nutritious that's very "high value" to my dogs. Plus, they don't seem to have much of a smell (to humans at least). The pieces can be quite large - many large chunks will make 6 to 8 smaller pieces - and it takes time to cut them up. Some pieces are very tough so I just give them whole to my larger dog. The freeze-dried liver seems to be less dense than a lot of other training treats out there The large (21 oz) bucket of freeze-dried beef liver is a great value and I'm really glad I went for it to use as training treats.

The freeze-dried liver seems to be less dense than a lot of other training treats out there, so don't go by weight when comparing the volume of treats you'll get; I haven't done detailed calculations but am pretty keep sure I can give more of these treats by volume with less calories in comparison to many others, so hopefully won't make my puppy too pudgy during obedience training! … more

Other freeze-dried raw food toppers can be $$$/oz. I make my own and save money doing it using this product. I shop to find Chewy's lowest price per ounce in the Stewart raw treat varieties (it's usually the largest size of the Beef Liver flavor), I put the contents into a food processor, and pulverize it into a cost-efficient raw food topper. My dog loves this raw, meaty addition that spices up her regular food. The "dust" coats every piece of kibble in a raw-meat "seasoning." She literally licks the bowl. The largest size lasts me a good amount of time. It's one ingredient, so I feel good about what I'm giving her.

When I had my own dogs, this was an easy treat to carry for training/bribing. Now I offer these liver treats to my neighbor's Braunschweiger-loving dog when he visits. It's a bit more popular with him than Chewy's made-in-USA chicken jerky. Some of the liver pieces are pretty big for smaller dogs, so I cut them up some. Some "liver dust" remains in the bottom of the bucket, and makes a great sprinkle on top of dry dog food to make it more appealing.

A dog trainer showed me the value of freeze dried Beef liver to get my puppies attention. These have to be cut into smaller pieces to be used for training. Puppy (6months) loves them but they are to rich for him. A few pieces give him mushy poop so have to limit them. Not sure if it is just his age.

I bought these to help my pup with leash-walking. We live in a city, so it's very easy for her to become distracted. The downside is that this treat attracts all of the other neighborhood dogs, too! The treat comes in big chunks, so I take a pair of scissors to cut them into smaller pieces, or else I just hold the big chunk out so it's easier for my pup to see it. It's a pretty high value treat, right up there with cheese and chicken.

It is SO difficult to find a treat that all three of my dogs enjoy (Yes two of them are picky eaters). However, my Yorkie, Shih Tzu, and Rottweiler L-O-V-E these treats. I also love them (but not for their taste ;) ) because they're so high in protein and they're a healthy alternative to other dog treats that tend to be highly processed. I feel guilt free for tossing these to my doggies throughout the day....and it makes them think their puppy-dog eyes are working :)

These are really great as a treat or a food supplement for my standard schnauzer. They don't really smell that much and my dog loves them. I cut them into little pieces and use it as a topper on his kibble when he gets a little tired of his food. They come cut in different sizes, which is really helpful. I chop them up into small pieces when I want training treats, medium slices for a food topper, variable sizes to fit into his treat-dispensing toys, and keep the big pieces when I want to give him a bigger treat for whenever he's being a good boy.

I use a mix of these and freeze dried chicken for training--they get my picky girl's attention more than any other treat I've tried and I can give her a ton of small pieces without having to adjust her daily food. They're hard to break with your fingers but you can cut them up ahead of time, it'll produce some dust but that can be sprinkled onto food/added to a puzzle toy. One star off for needing to prep ahead of time and the smell (it's very liver-y) but overall a great treat.

I've been using Stewart's Freeze Dried Beef Liver pieces for years as yummy nutritious treats for our retired racing Greyhounds. For the past year I've been using it as a nutritious food topper ( with Wellness Core Kibble) for our newest adopted boy, Aslan. They've all loved them`~ Aslan seeks and relishes each morsel before diving into his breakfasts and dinners! I like that he's in glowing good health ~ and he's happy, has great energy and a coat that gleams. As with the comment after this, I've noticed my last couple of shipments have been cut in a bit larger chunks. Most dogs, except perhaps tiny toys, would be able to bite through these easily and enjoy it.

But if you decide to cut them, save every freeze dried chip to add back to the container ~ this is precious nutrition! When chunks are gone, I pour remaining chips and powder over a dinner and mix with a little hot water for gravy, as usual. Aslan licks his bowl clean, so will yours! Bursts of pure protein, highly recommended. … more

This is a great treat! It is not too hard, you can break them with your hands. My dog is a picky eater and has some tummy issues and so far he really enjoy these treats and has had no problems with it. I also use it as a food topper by gridding (making a powder) and then putting it over the kibble with a little bit of water, it is a success!!
