Produced by the DEFRA approved Devon manufacturer using ethically and locally sourced UK livestock, this single ingredient product consists of 100% human grade British beef liver. Departing from standard ground or minced textures, this selection is packed as whole, substantial chunks. This presentation aligns perfectly with the brand philosophy of offering honest, unadulterated components, giving owners complete freedom to feed the pieces as large, engaging rewards or slice them precisely to fit daily meal requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust profile of essential vitamins and minerals, making it an indispensable part of a balanced raw diet. Structurally, liver is a classic secreting offal, meaning it fills the crucial 5% liver allocation required in standard ancestral raw feeding guidelines. Ox liver is a true nutritional powerhouse, naturally packed with exceptionally high levels of preformed Vitamin A, which supports optimal vision, immune function, and skin health. It is also an abundant source of bioavailable iron, copper, B group vitamins (especially B12), and essential trace elements that work together to facilitate cellular energy release, healthy blood formation, and steady daily stamina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pure offal component, these liver chunks are classified as a complementary raw food item. This makes them a highly versatile asset for experienced raw feeders who prefer a hands on DIY approach to building their dog's bowls. They serve as a wonderful foundational building block for hitting precise offal ratios, balancing out pure muscle meat selections, or acting as an intensely flavorful, high reward training treat that satisfies your dog's ancestral drive for fresh, nutrient dense organ meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs, working dogs, and cats. Strictly not for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreed Size: All breeds and sizes; the substantial liver chunks can be effortlessly sliced down for small toy breeds and felines, or left whole as a rich addition for large and giant breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife Stage: Formulated for adult pets and older puppies or kittens from 24 weeks onwards.

Liver should make up exactly 5% of your dog's total daily food intake. It is highly recommended to introduce liver gradually to your pet's diet if they are new to raw feeding to prevent digestive upset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary Balancing: This is a complementary, pure offal ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these chunks are paired with appropriate muscle meats, bone sources, and a further 5% of other secreting organs (such as kidney or spleen), alongside optional seasonal fruits and vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 500g pack and portion the chunks directly into your pet's bowl, or cut to your preferred dimensions using a sharp kitchen knife. If smaller serving amounts are required, allow the pack to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely slice, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling and Thawing: Store at 18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 8 to 10 hours) before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat destroys the delicate heat sensitive vitamins and vital enzymes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the ox liver chunks in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw organ meat product and should be handled with standard hygiene rules. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555821539662,"sku":"TDBOXLC","price":2.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/OxLiverChunk.png?v=1787820657","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-500g-ox-liver-chunks","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
