Beef Liver as a Superfood: Nutritional Power in Every Nugget

August 1, 2025Zora Tabin

When it comes to rewarding your pup, what’s in the treat matters. At Zora’s Best, we believe treats should do more than just taste good—they should nourish, support, and help your dog thrive. That’s why our 100% Human-Grade Beef Liver Treats are more than a tasty snack—they’re a superfood packed with essential nutrients your dog needs for optimal health.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes beef liver such a nutritional powerhouse and why it’s one of the most beneficial ingredients you can give your best friend.

Vitamin A: Vision, Skin & Immune Support

Beef liver is naturally rich in vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in your dog’s overall health. Vitamin A supports:

  • Healthy vision, especially night vision

  • Cell growth and skin regeneration

  • Immune function, helping the body ward off illness

Because vitamin A is stored in fat, it’s most effective when paired with a natural fat source—like the small amount found in our slow-roasted, freeze-dried liver nuggets.

Iron: Fueling Energy and Oxygen Circulation

Iron is essential for red blood cell production and oxygen transport throughout the body. Dogs with low iron levels may experience fatigue, reduced stamina, or pale gums. Liver is one of the most bioavailable sources of iron, meaning your dog’s body can absorb and use it efficiently to stay energized and healthy.

B Vitamins: Metabolism, Brain Function, and Nerve Health

Beef liver is packed with B vitamins—including B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). These vitamins help:

  • Convert food into energy

  • Support a healthy nervous system

  • Regulate hormone production

  • Aid in the development of healthy red blood cells

B vitamins are especially important for active dogs and growing puppies, who need consistent metabolic support.

Omega Fatty Acids: A Shiny Coat and Healthy Brain

Liver contains a small amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which contribute to:

  • Healthy skin and a glossy coat

  • Reduced inflammation in joints

  • Improved brain and cognitive function, especially in older dogs

These natural fats also help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin A and D, making liver a well-balanced choice for total-body nourishment.

A Nutrient-Dense Option Without Fillers

Unlike many dog treats filled with additives, preservatives, and unnecessary carbs, our beef liver treats are:

  • Single-ingredient

  • Grain-free

  • Gently freeze-dried to retain nutrients and flavor

We slow-roast each batch in our USDA-certified kitchen in Loveland, Colorado—so your dog gets clean protein and essential nutrients in every bite. No fillers, no fluff, just real food for real health.

How to Serve Beef Liver Treats Safely

Because liver is so nutrient-dense, moderation is key. Use beef liver as a high-value reward during training, or break it into smaller pieces for a light snack. As a general rule:

  • Small dogs: 1–2 small pieces per day

  • Medium dogs: 2–4 small pieces

  • Large dogs: 4–6 small pieces

As always, consult your vet before introducing new treats, especially if your dog has specific health conditions or dietary restrictions.
