All Natural Homemade Dog Treats
If you’re wild about your dogs and want to show them how much you love them, I promise your dogs will go wild for these homemade chicken jerky dog treats. While the process of dehydrating the chicken does take some time, this is a single ingredient recipe and is super easy to do, whether you’re using a traditional oven or an air fryer oven. There’s also the added benefit of knowing exactly what is in the treats you are giving to your furry companions, or more specifically knowing what is NOT in these dog treats – no preservatives, dyes or other unpronounceable ingredients. You can add these treats to other homemade dog treat recipes like my Sweet Potato and Apple Dog Treat Twists, the No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Puppy Treats and my Blueberry Pup Muffins to keep your pups happy all the time.
I made three batches of these today (only have a 3 qt. air fryer). My aging Border Collie “Tina” has a sensitive tummy and anything other than chicken will cause her (and me) sleepless nights.
Anyway, the treats were a BIG hit with her (I must admit, I too had a nibble), have not seen her so animated in a long time. I gave her only 4 treats and will see how she tolerates them, but I think she’ll be all right.
I call the treats “chickchick”, and whenever I say that, she’ll come running. Works better than “come”.
Thank you, Meredith, for thinking of our furry family members. You made mine (and me) very happy.
Couldn’t people eat this? I tried making chicken and Turkey jerky once and it just didn’t look appetizing and I tossed it all. I make beef jerky for my husband that turns out great.
Sure – this is absolutely edible for people, but you might like to put a spice rub on it if making it for people. For dogs, keep it plain.
