Liver is an organ where even a small amount moves the nutrition numbers a lot. Copper and vitamin A in particular build up in the body, so use it as one part of a meal, not the main meat.
In breeds known for a tendency to store copper in the liver (Bedlington Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, and others), take care that copper-rich foods do not appear day after day.
If it was sold for people's tables, such as at a supermarket, cook it through to the center before feeding. If it was sold as raw food for dogs, follow that product's instructions.
