Beef liver is a super food. Liver, is referred to as "nature's multivitamin," is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. It contains protein, iron and many vitamins and minerals. Specifically, it is loaded with protein, vitamins and minerals that collectively support immune function, digestion, reproduction, mental health, as well as bone, joint, skin and coat health. Beef liver is a superfood.
According to Traditional Chinese Veterinary medicine, feeding a specific organ actually benefits that organ. So by feeding your dog liver, your dog's liver will benefit by boosting or tonifying the liver, which improves blood health. Beef liver is a superfood and is loaded with the following vitamins and minerals:
- Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that supports digestion and reproductive health
- Vitamin B including folic acid and B12 that promotes optimal mental and nerve health
- Vitamin D supports optimal immune function and promotes muscle and bone strength
- Iron also supports a strong immune system, endurance, brain function and regulates body temperature
- Copper and Zinc which are minerals that support bone, joint, skin and coat health
Beef liver is a super food.
Additionally, "it contains 10 t0 100 times the nutrients of muscle meat," which is the typical protein that is used in kibble, like plain beef, chicken, turkey etc. In fact, muscle meat contains more unwanted toxins than liver. Although the function of the liver is to filter out and purify the body of toxins, it doesn't actually store them. You can also offer liver in treat form. We feed and highly recommend Stewart's Beef Liver treats, which only contain one ingredient: beef liver. So, by feeding your dog liver, you are not feeding them toxins, you are feeding them one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. So if your dog is sick, sluggish, anemic or you are looking to optimize his/her diet, consider adding beef liver to it
Grass-fed is always best because prior to slaughter, the cattle consumed grass and forage and not grains, which are typically high in pesticides, antibiotics and hormones. Raw liver is ideal, because cooking it actually depletes nutrients. If this sounds unappealing to your or your dog, mix it with other meats to disguise the taste, or add a product like this to their diet because beef liver is a superfood.
If you have a Bedlington Terrier, Doberman, West Highland White Terriers, Dalmations or Labrador Retrievers, be particularly mindful of how much liver you give because of their susceptibility to copper toxicity as beef liver is high in copper. You won't notice a change immediately, but if you notice your dog has lost weight, has a less of an appetite, is excessively peeing, has diarrhea or is vomiting these could be potential signs that liver enzymes are high and could lead to copper toxicity.
It's important to know the pros and cons of everything, but in this case, mindful beef liver supplementation outweighs the risk. Beef liver is a superfood.
