Freeze-Dried Bison Liver: Single-Ingredient Training Treats for Dogs & Cats
Quick answer: Shades of Gray Freeze-Dried Bison Liver is a single-ingredient, high-value training treat made from 100% bison liver farmed in Canada. The liver is freeze-dried into light, savoury bites with nothing added, and it's 60% protein. Bison is a novel protein for most pets, so freeze-dried bison liver suits dogs and cats that react to chicken or beef.

One of the things pet parents should think about is what is the source of the treats that they buy for their pets. The pet stores are overflowing with products.
My choice was to look into Indigenous Treats, where they from, who makes them, how they are made what , if anything, are they adding. In this case, what you see if what you get. Trusting that I am giving my dog and cats the best nutrients all the time is important to me. It is I who feeds them and makes decisions for them. Thankyou to all of you. Wendy.
My dogs love these products and the owners are fantastic!

I have an Akita whom I show and we used this product over the weekend. He received a 2nd place , 2 third place and a fourth place. I used this as bait. He rocked it and loved the liver.
Finally, pieces of dried liver that don't give my dog gas!

My dog’s favourite treats!
These are much higher value to my dog than ordinary beef liver. The texture is more pleasant, too, not powdery. They are able to be snapped into smaller pieces, too. My dog's favourite dried liver treats.
Both of my cats really enjoyed these bison liver treats ;)
