Liver: nutrient-rich organ meat that most dogs really enjoy. It provides your dog with protein, fat and vitamin A. It is also a good source of copper, iron, niacin, phosphorus and zinc. It provides many B vitamins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and essential amino acids your dog needs in his diet to keep him healthy. However, like anything, to much of a good thing can be harmful to your dog. It can cause loose poos to an overdose of vitamin A.

Most vets recommend once or twice a week by giving him small amounts of fresh cooked liver to their diet.
