I buy my kitties food at a store that is part of a very small chain because they sell a lot of foods that the big box stores don't sell. I was looking for 100 percent liver treats that aren't chicken or beef. The only thing that they had was dog treats that were Wild Texas Boar liver, I didn't get them because I thought they were ridiculously overpriced. They were air dried rather than freeze-dried. I wonder if there would be more nutrient loss, I assume they use a dehydrator. I am thinking about using them in place of the liver in homemade food because my IBD kitty can't tolerate beef and has developed a chicken allergy so I need to make sure the nutrients are still there.
