Sweet Potato Treats

[Richard Crowe]

We have a food dehydrator and I am using it to prepare healthy and safe chewies for the dogs.  My first try was sweet potato chewies.  I sliced sweet potatoes about a quarter inch thick and dried them in the dehydrator.  The dogs absolutely love these treats.

I have some tuna in my freezer that I caught on fishing trip.  I will slice that and make tuna jerky for the dogs.  I also plan to make chicken jerky and to dry green beans as treats....

Preparing treats at home is a lot more economical but, the most important aspect is that I know all the ingredients are safe and healthy...

Great idea, Richard.  I would love those sweet potato treats - I love sweet potatoes.

We have a whole section in The Food Group on making your own treats using a dehydrator.

Sounds easy enough, and healthy.  I'll have to give it a try.

How long did you dry them, I'm always trying to find things to give Jake.
