Healthy Dog Treats

[Tilzbow]

New hunting dog on the way, I’m looking for an alternative to Milk Bone, Pepperoni, Jerky Treats and other pet store staples.

What healthy dog treats are you giving your dog? Either home made or store bought suggestions are appreciated!

We use carrot chips and dehydrated liver. Both homemade. Liver is from beef, deer, or game birds if i feel like taking them.

The thing that we do and work unbelievably well is we save our trimmings and silverskin, etc, from deer and elk, freeze dry them, and then feed them in smaller pieces. They absolutely love it. We've got probably 6 sealed gallon sized bags right now, so we should uptick our disbursement.

They go nuts for them.

You can just make unseasoned jerky out of ground venison in your dehydrator. They love it.

Dehydrated Liver, dried fish filets, and Blue Buffalo high protein turkey biscuits.

I buy the dehydrated liver treats and milk bones from Costco.

Free range cat sh@t, apparently.

Zukes and string cheese for training. Pig ears and chicken jerky (both Costco) as a treat, now and then a bone (game animal when I have them, stock/marrow bones from the grocer when not).

Dehydrated sweet potato chips.

I do raw carrots, dehydrated liver and meat trimmings, Achilles tendon from beef. All of which I get for free except the carrots. I also take the left over bone and fat from the bandsaw and then cook it like hamburger, put in a container and mix in with dry food.

I make jerky in the dehydrator, no seasonings. Beef & deer mostly. Once it's dry, I cut it up into bite sized pieces.

My dog loves sweet potatoes, apples, and carrots. Dehydrated or not. He expects his cut when we have them in the kitchen.

I think my dogs favorite treat is ice cubes.

My dog loves fresh fruits and veggies. We also slice up bananas and freeze them.

 

[stank.243]

Carrots and celery

Expensive, but it’s the easy button. My wife has a dog training business and most dogs love this stuff.

Another vote for trimmings from cutting up deer, silver skin, etc.
they love it

we grill ground turkey and leave it in the fridge. Do it once a week or two, they love it and its stupid cheap.

bones leftover from butchering are the best treats. I don't scrape them so there is always plenty of meat and connective tissue left on them to make it a meal for the old boy

One of our dog’s favorite treats is the root side of a head of romaine lettuce. He loves all veggies, but will hop up and down for lettuce. Weirdo. Our other dog will try to eat it, but doesn’t understand it. lol

Carrots are a favorite but they get all over what they are chewing them on. Green beans, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers. Dogs like all sorts of stuff.

Dehydrqted sweet potatoe slices

Dehydrated banana chips. And humans like them too!
