How Much Liver Can I Feed My Dog?
Liver is a wonderful treat and a good source of vitamin A and iron, but should only be a treat. An overdose of Vitamin A causes hypervitaminosis, a chronic toxicity that builds up over time. Feed up to 1 oz. of liver per day for medium-large dogs, and up to 0.5 oz. per day for small dogs.

Blackstrap molasses has many uses, including as a dietary supplement, containing vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and potassium. Use blackstrap, not just molasses, which is made from sugar beets and is mostly sugar.
Kelp is an excellent source of iodine and minerals that promote thyroid function, and helps maintain a shiny coat and healthy skin. Dogs with dry skin, skin allergies, and alopecia can benefit. Powdered kelp is found in drugstores, health food stores, and grocery stores with organic food.
