Overview
Can dogs eat Buffalo liver?
Benefits
- Buffalo liver is considered a superfood as it is very high in protein but low in calories and fat. It is also packed with amino acids, which are necessary to strengthen muscles and joints.
- Buffalo liver contains vitamin A, vitamin D, B vitamins, and folic acid, which boost the immune system and regulate various organ functions. It also has iron which supports blood and brain function and prevents anemia.
- Buffalo liver is good for dogs allergic to common protein sources such as beef and chicken.
- Air-dried or freeze-dried buffalo liver acts as a natural toothbrush. Chewing on it helps clean a dog's teeth and gums as it scrapes off tartar buildup.

Servings
- Raw feeders give raw buffalo liver to their dogs as part of their raw food diet.
- Clean the buffalo liver thoroughly before cooking. Boil or grill the buffalo liver without seasoning. Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve occasionally as a treat.
