Can dogs eat liver?
Yes — liver is generally safe for dogs in moderation, as long as it's plain and prepared properly.
Why
Cooked liver is safe and nutritious for dogs and cats. It's rich in iron, B vitamins, and protein. Avoid raw liver due to parasites.
What to watch for
No toxicity risk from cooked liver. Raw liver may carry parasites.
What to do
Offer cooked liver (no seasoning) as a healthy treat or meal topper.

It's a general reference for a common food, and it can't account for your pet's size, age, health conditions, medications, or how much they actually ate. Toxicity is almost always about dose. If your pet has eaten something you're worried about — or is showing any symptoms — call your veterinarian, an emergency animal hospital, or a poison control hotline right away. Never induce vomiting unless a veterinary professional tells you to.
