I recently purchased a used Excalibur Food Dehydrator at a really reasonable price. This is the first thing I made!
Doggie #1 wrestling chewy away from me. I couldn't even get Doggie #2 to take a picture!
All it is is dehydrated sweet potatoes, but they are really good!
I do not have a mandolin or other food slicer, so I made them into little chips. If you have a food slicer, the chewies would be more like "real" chewies by cutting them lengthwise.
These can be raw but technically I do not think they are since I set the temperature to a higher setting so they would dry faster. Do not dry them all the way, leave a little "give".
Both of my dogs are vegetarian*, 99%vegan, so we do not feed rawhide. Both dogs were ambushing me for 2nds and 3rds. Even if your dogs are not vegetarian, they will enjoy these!
*Having a happy, healthy vegetarian dog is easy. There are commercially available dog foods in larger Pet store (right now I would suggest Petco over Petsmart, as Petsmart is using glue traps and generally treating the animals there horribly, according to Peta). My dogs are on a mix of Natural Balance and V-Dog.
Neither of these companies tests on animals, like other brands such as Iams (warning- graphic pictures at Iams site). My dogs are happy, healthy, energetic, and have soft, shiny fur. We're very happy with their diet.
