No Trust in Dog Products-Make Your Own Treats

Since the dog food recall now almost 18 months ago, Chinese products sold at dollar stores and cheap big box stores like Wal Mart are tainted and dangerous to your dog’s health.

No recalls can protect you from the products that are coming into this country if they are not tested consistently and accurately. Products coming from China have continued to be dangerous to people and animals even babies formula and now drinks such as Ensure for people are suspected as having melamine.

To ensure your pet gets the very healthiest treats, maybe you should try making them yourself as they are easy to prepare and more nutritious.

Recipe for Chicken or Beef Jerky Treats:

Use a food dehydration unit which are made to dehydrate fruits, vegetables and other foods to preserve and dry the product. Sun dried tomatos are made in this manner and are delicious in salads for people.

Or you can use your oven right in your own home.

Cut the chicken or beef in thin strips and lay them on a cookie sheet that is nonstick.

You can add garlic powder or paprika or dry barbeque powder spice for flavor.

Bake at 180 F for at least 4 to 5 hours or leave overnight to the right consistency, which is dry and leathery.

Let the strips cool and put them in plastic bags in the refrigerator.

To save energy do a sheet of chicken, one of beef and also you can use liver strips. You can also freeze a batch for later use and store in plastic bags.
