Dehydrated Food
I just placed an order for a food dehyrator. I wanted one to make some
jerky, fruit, etc for myself. I also wanted to make the dogs a few healthy treats. I already know about using sweet potato to make a nice rawhide like treat. What others things are healthy, good and simple? THANKS! |

Also, I bet the dogs will appreciate you sharing some of that jerky with them. Heck, you could make those dehydrated liver treats and such for them. Suja |

I wonder what would happen if I just threw on some blobs of canned pumpkin? I will have a lot of fun experimenting! |

If it's summertime, you're in a hot climate, and need to dry more than your dehydrator will hold, try our method. Park your car in the sun, front windows cracked about 1/2". Put food in car on nonstick cookie sheets, or thread on string and tie side-to-side on the clothes hooks. My kids' friends used to get a big kick out of the strings of drying peppers, heh. flick 100785 |

Theoretically they keep for 3 months if you cut the fat off. I don't bother doing that, since I do them in small batches from the freezer and the dogs polish them off in less than a week. The big favourite is fresh green tripe (with the dehydrator running in the garage, I hasten to add). Sally |

Suja Homemade dehydrated treats, what a great idea. My vet has recommend adding canned (pure) pumpkin mixed with her dry dog food and she loves it. The dehydrated pumpkin would work out wonderful for us. Thanks for the suggestion, Trax www.thedogshows.com |
