I have been wanting to get this post done for a long time. Lots of folks ask me about my healthy homemade dog treats.

I always take a bag on our walks and sometimes share with their neighborhood K9 buddies!

I am going to show you how I make my beef jerky treats . You can even help yourself to some as well if you want!

Healthy Homemade Dog Treats

This treat is super easy to make and takes very little prep time.

You can find this recipe and others like it in my book titled: “Caveman Dog Treats For Your BFF: Easy Step-By-Step Instructions For Making All Natural Dog Treats Using REAL Food And Your Dehydrator.” It is available on Amazon.

Inside this book you’ll find other healthy homemade dog treat recipes. I also talk a bit about why I make my own dog treats, dehydrator selection, and a few other topics. While I prefer giving the BFFs treats without grains, Midge does give them Milk Bones, Brew Bones, all of which they gobble up.

For this recipe, I use the pre-sliced meat from our local megamart. They have several options to choose from, –thin cut milanesa, thin-cut sirloin, and sometimes a “thin cut something else.”

Sometimes you can find this on sale or discounted!

I use the thin cut milanesa steaks. It has less fat to remove and the slices are mostly of uniform thickness. If some of the slices are on the thicker side, I can use a meat hammer to flatten them a bit.

So how thick is “just about right?”

Maybe about the width of a nickel or so.

The preference is to have the jerky to all dehydrate at the same rate and finish at the same time.

To start, just trim away any bigger pieces of fat. The BFFs like to get, or rather expect to get, smaller tidbits of the raw meat as I am doing this.

Cut to the desired width and line your dehydrator trays. Easy stuff!

Next, dry the raw meat per your dehydrator owners manual. My experience is 6 to 8 hours or so.

Last thing is to just bag it then you’re done!

How easy was that?

Woof! Woof!

I think someone wants a treat!
