Gourmate’s premium beef liver is sourced from 100% grass-fed and pasture raised cattle raised on the clean, green pastures of New Zealand. These animals graze freely on natural grass without exposure to growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, or GMO feed. Gourmate partners exclusively with trusted New Zealand farmers who follow sustainable and humane practices, ensuring both animal welfare and nutrient-dense meat.

The liver is processed in facilities that meet the strictest human food-grade standards, then gently freeze-dried to lock in nutrients like vitamin A, B12, iron, and CoQ10 — making it a clean, natural source of vital nutrition for your dog.

Grass-fed beef liver is significantly more nutritious than liver from conventionally grain-fed cattle. Compared to grain-fed alternatives, it typically contains:

• More omega-3s and a better fat balance: Grass-fed liver has a healthier omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, supporting reduced inflammation and improved skin, coat, and joint health.
• Higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins: Particularly vitamins A, D, E, and K2 — vitamin E levels in particular can be up to 3x higher in grass-fed liver.
• Better mineral profile: Grass-fed liver tends to contain more iron, zinc, and selenium in forms that are highly bioavailable to dogs.
• Lower copper levels: While copper is essential in small amounts, excessive copper may be harmful — and grass-fed liver typically contains less copper than grain-fed liver.
• Free from synthetic inputs: No antibiotics, added hormones, or pesticide residues that are often found in conventional liver.

In addition to nutritional superiority, grass-fed liver reflects higher animal welfare and lower environmental impact — making it a better choice for both pets and the planet.

Yes — beef liver can be fed daily as long as the portion is appropriate. It’s incredibly nutrient-dense, especially in vitamin A and copper, so it’s important not to overdo it. Small, consistent amounts are perfectly safe and can be a great way to support your dog’s vitality, immunity, and overall health. If liver is already included in your dog’s main meals, just adjust treat quantities accordingly to avoid exceeding recommended levels. For most dogs, a few small pieces of freeze-dried liver daily fits well within a balanced diet.

Yes, Gourmate’s Beef Liver treats can be used to balance a homemade or DIY diet — but portioning is key. Because freeze-drying removes nearly all of the moisture, these freeze-dried treats weigh roughly 75% less than their fresh counterpart, while delivering the same concentrated nutrients. If your recipe calls for fresh liver, you’ll need to reduce the amount accordingly — use roughly one-quarter of the recommended fresh liver weight. Adjust portions carefully to avoid overfeeding nutrients such as vitamin A and copper.
