• To feed Bella her chicken hearts and livers, we simply take a zip lock bag out of the freezer and place the bag in a microwave safe bowl. Place it in the microwave and heat for approximately 40-50 seconds. Take it out of the microwave, cut the corner of the bag and drain the broth into Bella’s bowl. Cut the hearts and livers into small portion sizes and mix it in the broth and serve.
• Chicken livers are loaded with vitamin A, vitamin B12, iron, and much more.
• Chicken hearts have nutrients such as protein, Vitamin A, B6, and B12, as well as iron and niacin. These healthy vitamins and minerals help improve cardiovascular, vision, immune and digestive function.
• While chicken livers and hearts contain essential nutrients that are good for dogs, having too much of them is not good for the dog. We do not give Bella chicken livers and hearts every day. These are just one of the proteins that we give Bella. We give Bella different food every day and make sure she has a balanced, healthy diet.
