Sweet Potato Chews; a safe alternative to rawhides

Simply peel sweet potatoes, cut into slices 1/4 – 1/3 inch thick, and bake at 250 degrees for about 3 hours. Flip halfway. If you don’t have a non-stick pan, use wax paper or a light coat of olive oil to keep them from sticking. You can also put the slices in a dehydrator if you have one. They’ll store in the fridge for up to a week.

These treats are full of vitamins and minerals, appeal to your dog’s sweet tooth, and are easier to digest than rawhide. The first time I made sweet potato chews, my dog Nala did tricks every time I went to the fridge in the hopes they would earn her a chew!

I’ve got a few more recipes in my blog post “Can Dogs Eat Fruit?”
