A tiny piece of plain cooked liver is fine as an occasional treat, but liver is extremely high in vitamin A. Feeding it regularly — even daily — can cause vitamin A toxicity, which leads to bone deformities and stiffness over weeks to months. Keep it to small, rare portions, and never feed raw liver.
