Tiny baked liver treats sized as rewards — rich in flavor, offered in moderation.
Homemade guidance, not veterinary advice
Liver should only be given in moderation, since it's very high in vitamin A and too much over time isn't appropriate for cats. Cook it fully and keep these as small, occasional treats. This recipe avoids onion, garlic, and other common pet-toxic foods, but it's general guidance, not veterinary advice — check with your vet about how often to offer liver.
Instructions

Mix the mashed liver with the egg and oat flour into a stiff dough.
- 4
Spread thin and cut into very small, pea-sized pieces.
- 5
Bake for 12–15 minutes until firm. Cool completely before serving.
Nutrition character
Tiny, strongly flavored baked liver treats — very appealing to cats, but liver is rich in vitamin A, so these are meant as small, occasional rewards rather than a regular food.
Serving guide
Keep these to a few tiny bites at a time and only occasionally — liver is rich in vitamin A, so it should be a small part of the diet, not a daily staple.

Storage

Suitable for
Cats of any age, as small, occasional training rewards given in moderation.
Common questions
Is chicken liver suitable for cats?
Cooked chicken liver is very appealing to cats and useful for training, but because it's rich in vitamin A it should be given in moderation as an occasional treat, not a daily food.
Why can't cats have a lot of liver?
Liver is high in vitamin A, and too much over time isn't appropriate for cats, so it's best kept to small, occasional amounts.
How small should training bites be?
Cut them pea-sized so you can reward your cat several times without overdoing the liver during a session.
