Easy Homemade Treats

• If your dog is crazy for dehydrated chicken strips (chicken jerky), you can make your own quite easily and avoid all those dicey commercial brands. Just buy some boneless chicken breasts, clean them, and slice into long, thin strips – the thinner the better. Place the strips on a greased or non-stick cookie sheet and bake them for at least three hours at 180 degrees.

The low temp dries the chicken out slowly, and the strips wind up nice and chewy. Let the strips cool, and then store them in plastic bags or another airtight container. You can also freeze them. If you buy commercial canned food for your dog, you can re-purpose a can for use as a supply of healthy treats.

• Open a can of your pet’s favorite brand and spoon out little treat sized amounts onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Put the baking sheet into the freezer until the bite-sized bits of food are frozen. Then move them to an airtight container and put them back into the freezer until you’re ready to feed them.
