Replacing the elk liver

Can I substitute moose liver in the moose recipe? As it’s hard to get hold of, can I use dried beef liver from Pala? I have some of that. This is for a 5 kg dog.

  • Are you planning to use this diet as an elimination diet? If so, it is important that there is only one source of protein. You can buy elk liver here: {{ARTICLE:ingredients:Where to buy ingredients}}
  • No, I was thinking of using the diet as a complete meal. Is that alright? So they had dried elk liver at Preludo. Can I use that instead of fresh? I’m wavering between three low-fat diets for your Nani.
  • Oh, right, so it’s fine to use multiple protein sources! 😊 Yes, you can certainly use dried liver instead of fresh. In that case, you should give approx. 1/4 of the liver amount stated in the recipe (if it says 40g of liver, you should give 10g of dried). This is because dried liver is more concentrated as the liquid has been removed.
