I'm sure many of you have heard about the dangers of those chicken jerky treats and such! Not to mention they are quite expensive. So I bought a Nesco dehydrator on Amazon (think it was around $40 at the time). I buy either organic chicken from the butcher (you can use regular chicken too) and have them make thin strips for you. You just throw them on the dehydrator and usually after about 14 hours you've got a ton of healthy treats. I also use ground venison and flatten it out and dry them. The dogs go CRAZY for both! Venison also dries a lot faster! Within a few hours. You can buy the filets at mexican markets as well and slice those up. Also, my ex's bully that I take care of, has arthritis so i sprinkle Dasaquin on the venison. Just thought I'd share. It's a lot cheaper and safer!
