This past summer I received an e-mail/press release from a PR firm representing Excalibur dehydrators (I own one and love it) and they were highlighting the fact that their dehydrators could be used to make treats for your pets. Â Seeing as we had just lost our beloved pup, I did not have the motivation to make any nor did I have a taste-tester even if I had made any.
Fast forward to the present. Â We have now had our Goldendoodle, Dug, since September and after months of trying to find a food that worked for his sensitive tummy, Dug is FINALLY able to partake in some treats.
These vegan raw hide chews were so simple to make and HE LOVES THEM! Â All you do is:
- Clean some sweet potatoes
- Slice the sweet potatoes length-wise 1/4″ thick
- Dehydrate the slices until they are hard (it took about 24 hours at 125 degrees)
Now that I know Dug digs these treats, my next batch will be a huge one…his cousin Rufus (my sister’s Newdle/Newfypoo…aka Newfoundland Standard Poodle mix) may even receive a package in the mail!
Do any of you make home made dog treats?
