My dog is 12 Years old and looking like 4. We stopped giving her regular dog food and make our own homemade and the lumps on her belly disappeared and her ears naturally got rid of the yeast infections, and tbh she doesn't gather nearly as many ticks and hasn't had any fleas and she is outside all the time.

Hi! Thank you for another interesting video. Glad that you have included treats for our furry friends. I have not read all the comments, but I wanted to add something. I once belonged to a dogs treats group and they always stressed that any meat that was going to be dehydrated raw for pets had to be deep frozen for at least a week to kill parasites. Also, after the raw meat treats have been dehydrated, and depending on the protein used, they had to be "oven blasted" for 5 minutes at 150C in order to kill bacteria harmful to humans handling the treats. Keep dehydrating!! :)

Darcy I love this. Please do more dog treats. I rescue dogs and I have nine. I'm all about the healthy way2go. Thank you so much Darcy

I did sweet potatoes for our dog and used the canned sweet potatoes in light syrup since we don’t eat them sweet. Rinsed, cut into small slices and dehydrated. She loved them. She regularly gets bits of people food anyways so I’m sure she would love the chicken and the sweet potatoes in chicken broth.

Love this idea!!! I just got a puppy so it's a timely one!! I used to make jerky all the time for my family and I discovered a little secret that works amazingly well. Go to your deli counter at the grocery store and have them slice chicken or beef or whatever fairly thin, not shaved, just thin. This meat is already pre-cooked. Take it home, marinate it, then dehydrate for awesome jerky!

I dehydrate deli meat for myself frequently. I do try to find lower sodium cuts because the salt content can be very highly concentrated once the meat is dry. I wouldn't use it as dog treats due to the high salt. But they do get really crispy and tasty.

This is so much better to do your own treats, you can make them to your dog’s taste or needs… and it costs a lot less than bought at the store. Unfortunately for us, we lost our beautiful furry friend Kimo over three years ago, I know hw would have loced them. Once I started making his dog cookies, he did not want any others… sometimes friends of mine wanted to give him their dog cookies or treats, but if they came from the store, hexwould not eat them. So I would make a batch every second weeks and freeze them… even when we went camping with him, they were on his list. 😊 I will share your video with my friends, I really like your videos, they are cery informative as well.

I have done sweet potatoes cooked, raw, etc. for dog treats. I put a dab of peanut butter on them for a little snack every morning before we go out to the barn for chores. I've also done it 'perfect' for my own meals. Sweet potatoes aren't just for Thanksgiving!

Be careful with the broth that you use for pet treats. Most information sources warn against onion for cats and dogs. I looked up several brands and they all contained onions. Just something to be aware of.

I learned a few things and I know I'll be saving some money as well by making these treats for my two multi-Poo pups, sisters, who just turned 7 on 3/23! Once a month I make their ground turkey/lean beef and liver kibbles with veggies and brown rice that they love, so I'm going to get busy making both the chicken and sweet potato treats tomorrow. I love to have a variety of homemade everything for them. It just so happens I have the Herb Ox I got from Amazon (couldn't find it in stores, hmm...) so I'm prepared. Thank you for sharing your video. I appreciate and enjoyed it very much.

My dog just loves the sweet potatoes cooked but not needing to dry

We do pig ears.. I cut them into smaller bits (med size dogs) run the Cosori at 165 for 24hrs and the dog loves them.. No additives needed.

Great video and great tips. I make my own dog treats for my dogs as well. I do pork meat and various fruits. I season the meats in apple cider vinegar for a day and then dehydrate for a day too. I will add turmeric and pepper next time I make it. Thanks for the video.

I have done this for years - meat only. Used my oven before getting a dehydrator. So happy to see this video. Also, I use beef heart a lot. However, mine are minus any seasonings. Great video! Thanks!!! ❤ 👍

Safe food handling recommends it. But you can also put it into an oven at 250F to blast for about 15 min to get rid of any bacterial issues. Dehydrators don't always heat to a consistent 160F, which is where the concern comes -thus the recommendation.

I made my dogs food also.

My dog loves some treats from swanson vitamins called 'brewer's yeast formula'. The milk bones I have been feeding her are getting difficult to find so I am looking for alternatives. I have some of the non-fortified brewers yeast and think I might try to make this with some of the yeast in it.

Hello Darcy! This question is not about the dog treats, but about the DH Trays. The "book" says to "avoid scratching" the DH to put the trays in "smooth side" down. I wasn't too positive about which side they were talking about, but I see that you are loading the trays with the "lip" side down and the mesh side up. Is that what they meant? It made more sense to me to so it the other way since that gives you an "edge" to push your food against and contain it from spilling over, but perhaps my thinking is not correct. Can you confirm the correct direction of the trays? for me?

I was wondering, if I cook the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees just until done and then slice into thin pieces and dehydrate until completely dry will that decrease or even kill off the harmful germs? I saw another channel who said to "flash heat" chicken and any meats that might contain harmful germs for just a few minutes at the end of dehydration to kill germs and/or harmful bacteria. I am new to dehydrating and have no clue if this would work or not. What are your thoughts on this? Don't worry, I am not going to hold anyone accountable for my dog's health but myself. I am just curious as too whether or not cooked chicken dehydrated would be palatable. I am thinking my dog would like her treats prepared this way.

7 ай бұрын

Yep - it's what I said, too - 250F oven for 10-15 min after will do the same thing. I prefer it to cooking at 350 because that can dry out the meat in not a good way. But some of the safer dehydrating tips from the safe preservation NCHFP recommend cooking first. It's up to you. It's actually not your dog's health that is the issue - their gut is different than ours. You are the one handling the meat - so doing that flash at the end is protecting you, not your pup.

I do similar with raw liver. Some of the livers, as well as the kidneys and spleens when we have harvested our beef, pork or wild game, I flash freeze, take out and slice fairly thin. Liver doesn't matter if you slice a little to thick, since it dehydrates down to very thin slices. As you can imagine, we do have a very large amount of dehydrated liver after harvest season. I have never had an issue with any of the dehydrated organ meats when it comes to long term storage for up to a year in vacuum sealed jars. But, that could just be because our dog is a 1 quarter Arctic Wolf 3 quarter German Shepard mix and has a stomach of steel...
