All beef products, including organ meats, can be safely stored frozen for at least one year. If you grind the organs and portion them for meals (for you or your pets), be sure to freeze in an airtight plastic freezer-safe bag, or similar container.

Offal meats are rich in essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. They’re also an excellent source of high-quality protein.

Offal refers to the edible internal organs and other parts of an animal, such as the liver, heart, tongue, kidneys, and tripe. It’s often associated with nose-to-tail eating, a sustainable approach to utilizing the entire animal.

The term “offal” comes from the Old English word offall, which means “off fall” or the parts that fall off during butchering. Originally considered waste, offal has become valued for its rich flavor, culinary versatility, and exceptional nutritional benefits.

The easiest way to prepare organ meats for your dog is to grind them up in a food processor. Then, it’s as easy as portioning the ground organ meat into their daily rations. You can also ration it into single meal servings and freeze for ease of each feeding. As a general rule, organ meat should comprise 10 to 15% of a dog’s balanced diet. Always consult with your veterinarian before feeding raw organs or other raw food to your dog.
