Sweet potato dog chews
Be the first to rate it
Sweet potato slices baked low until chewy. A cheap, one-ingredient chew for dogs.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
Equipment
- chef’s knife
- baking sheet
Directions
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, and cut away any sprouts or green spots.
- Slice lengthwise, no thinner than 1/4” (thicker slices are chewier but dry less fully and keep for less time).
- Lay the slices on dehydrator trays so none touch each other or the edges.
- Dry for about 14 hours, depending on your dehydrator. With no dehydrator, bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 hours.
- Let cool, then refrigerate.
Notes
Refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze airtight up to 6 months. Safety: discard green or sprouted parts (solanine). Plain sweet potato only, no seasoning. Give in moderation; supervise chewing.
