Treat Recipes For Dogs With Liver Disease

THESE RECIPES ARE NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN AND ARE NOT MEANT TO BE SHARED ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET, ETC. WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT

These dog treat recipes are part 4 of an article series on dogs with liver disease.

The following recipes were the actual recipes that I prepared and used for Lulu as part of her diet for liver disease. Diet is EXTREMELY critical when you’re dealing with a dog who has liver disease and treats are an enjoyable part of your dog’s daily diet.

The treats are low in phosphorus and safe for dogs who are suffering with copper storage disease.

Both of these recipes are low in phosphorus and sodium and should be okay to use for dogs with kidney disease as well.

Developed by a nutritionist, the recipes are pretty simple to prepare and Lulu actually loved them. The treats were about the size of a quarter and I used a lid from a bottle to cut the shapes.

*NOTE: Use parchment paper for these recipes and NOT ANY KIND OF COOKING SPRAY which can alter the recipes.

Vanilla Yogurt Cookies

3 Cups of White rice flour
4 Beaten egg whites
1 Cup of Plain whole fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons honey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the beaten eggs, vanilla, honey and yogurt. Stir in the flour until a nice dough consistency is formed. Roll out to 1/4″ thickness on a floured surface and cut out into the shape of your choice. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake the treats for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Fennel Dog Treats

Cut into shapes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake the cookies about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.

Other Treat Ideas for Dogs With Liver Disease

Lulu always enjoyed chewing on a nice hard treat and really enjoyed every minute of it. We used get the biggest kick out of watching her. She would close her eyes and just enjoy it immensely.

Outside of Lulu’s baked treats which only lasted a second,  I would give her one tripe Stick or bully stick daily (made in USA ONLY) which are both low in fat.  Lulu really loved bully sticks, but they are pricey.  Shadow River offers what I think is the best price on them over at Amazon, and they are from American cattle, all natural and they don’t cheat on the size of the stick.
