All Meat Dehydrated Dog Treats

My girlfriend made some of these for my dog and she loved them. They are all meat. No salt, sugar, preservatives...nothing but meat.

She bought some inexpensive organ meat (Beef heart, kidney, liver etc) and sliced it very thin. Too thick is difficult for the dog to chew. (1/4-1/2" for medium dog. Adjust for your size dog) and put it in her food dehydrator. It is advised to trim off all the fat possible as it doesn't dry and will spoil. I keep mine in the fridge but I will be making a large batch of my own and will freeze some too.

The treats come out very crunchy and I have offered them to a few dogs I know and no refusals. I like this treat and I am so glad my friend gave me this tip.


Editor's note: Sounds yummy! If you don't have a food dehydrator an oven can also be used to dry meat - see
