My wife discovered two treats that the dogs love more than anything and they’re 100% natural, 100% safe, 100% healthy, and very easy to make. The only things you need are a sink (regular kitchen sink), a knife (sharp - for cutting), a cutting board, and a dehydrator. Might I suggest one of these at Amazon.com:
That’s all you’ll need for tools. As for the actual treats:
Dehydrated chicken:
- Get chicken (regular, skinless & boneless chicken breast from the grocery store, wholesale club (Sam’s, BJ’s, butcher, etc..).
- Clean it like you were going to serve it to yourself
- Cut it into strips about 1/4″ thick (like you were making a stir fry)
- Cook in the dehydrator according to it’s instructions
That’s it! The great thing is that it is safe for you to eat, too (it makes a great snack when you’re spending a day dog training, showing etc..) and our dogs go insane over them.
The second one is very similar but replace chicken with sweet potatoes (again, from a grocery store, wholesale club, or even a farmer’s market). Clean and cut them into 1/4″ strips and dehydrate according to the dehydrator’s instructions. Again, that’s it (and it’s safe (and good) for humans to eat. These will be tougher than the chicken so it’ll be better for an evening snack for them (to get them to calm down?).
