Can homemade liver treats be used for training purposes?

How should homemade liver treats be stored?
To maintain freshness, store homemade liver treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Alternatively, you can freeze them for longer-term storage, thawing them as needed.
Are there any risks associated with feeding homemade liver treats to dogs?
While homemade liver treats are generally safe for dogs, it's essential to avoid overfeeding, as excessive consumption can lead to digestive upset and too much vitamin A. Additionally, if your dog has specific dietary restrictions or health conditions, consult with your veterinarian.
