Liver Paté Bites Recipe for Dogs
Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. We all know liver is a favorite among dogs but did you know many like the sweet nutty taste of barley? You can substitute another flour but this is a tasty twist your dog will devour!
Can't stand the smell of liver? A trick is to place it in a covered container with about 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and refrigerate overnight. This will release toxins that were stored in the meat and remove some of the pungent liver smell. Also, be sure to rinse your utensils as you work! When liver dries, it's sooo hard to remove.
