“Sammy's indifferent to most treats, but these he actually asks for. One ingredient, no mess on the hands (mostly), and they last ages. The smell's rough on you, not him.”

For Yorkie parents who want only the purest nutrition, these freeze-dried beef liver treats are a game-changer. With just one ingredient, pure beef liver, you know exactly what your Yorkshire Terrier is eating. This matters especially for Yorkies with sensitive stomachs or food allergies, which are common in the breed. The freeze-drying process locks in all the nutrients and that irresistible liver aroma that makes Yorkies go absolutely wild. High in protein and naturally rich in iron and B vitamins, these treats support your Yorkie's energy levels and beautiful, silky coat.

The pieces break apart easily, perfect for creating training-sized portions for your 4-7 pound pup. No fillers, no grains, no artificial anything, just real meat your Yorkie's ancestors would recognize. These premium treats are ideal for reward-based training when you need something your Yorkie simply cannot resist. Small, lightweight, and mess-free, they are perfect for keeping in your pocket during walks.

Watch for

− The smell is genuinely awful for humans: 117 of 181 odor comments are negative. One reviewer said it reeks like dead fish; most recommend airtight storage

− Raw freeze-dried texture means you need to wash hands after handling — minor hygiene consideration some found off-putting

What owners say

From the reviews.

These are solidly-rated treats (4.6 stars, 6,749 reviews) with genuine dog appeal and clean ingredients. The core value is clear: single-ingredient, healthy, training-effective. Odor is the main trade-off — not a dealbreaker for most, but it's real and consistent across complaints. Size is a non-issue if you're using them for training or know they're bite-sized; a few reviewers just expected larger pieces.

Customer questions

Things people ask.

Q01. Do these really smell that bad? +

Yes. 117 of 181 odor comments are negative — described as fishy, rotten, or rank. The upside: dogs go wild for them because of it. Reviewers manage it by storing in airtight containers and washing hands after handling.

Q02. Are these actually good for training? +

Excellent choice. 144 of 147 training comments were positive. Dogs find them highly rewarding, they break apart easily for smaller rewards, and they're light to carry. High-value treat dogs especially respond well.

Q03. How much do you actually get in the bag? +

Multiple reviewers say the quantity is generous — you get 'a ton in the bag' and they last a long time. Pieces are small/bite-sized, which divides opinion on size but multiplies portion count.

Q04. Are these safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs? +

Single ingredient (beef liver only) makes them suitable for sensitive dogs. No fillers, additives, or preservatives. One reviewer specifically noted they work for dogs with stomach sensitivity, and all 105 health-related comments were positive.

Q05. Do I need to worry about freshness or storage? +

Reviewers report they arrive fresh and well-packed. The bag recommends using within 30 days of opening. Storing in an airtight container keeps them fresh and helps contain the smell.
