Have you ever thought of making dog treats at home? Sure there are plenty of receipts that you can find online, but most of them take time. To make a good dog treat, the food must be dehydrated. In this way, the food will become a crunchy, hardy snack your dog will love.
How it Works This pet treat maker lets you create healthy and natural treats for your pet through heated dehydration.
First, gather the ingredients for the treats you want to make. Use the receipt book that is included with your purchase for some ideas. Some of the receipts included with your purchase are sweet potato chews, pumpkin crisps, peanut butter biscuits, meat and “cookie” dough jerky, and avian seed cakes.
After you mix the ingredients together, shape them into treats either by hand or with the cookie cutters (bone or fish shaped) provided. Once they are shaped, load them into the dehydration unit. The five shelves inside allow for plenty of room so you can make lots of treats at once.
Turn the unit on and let it work. The dehydrator will blow heated air gently throughout the unit, which will slowly and effectively take the moisture out of the treats. The process takes a few hours.
Once the treats are done, give them to your pet right away or save them for later. Because all of the moisture is removed, the treats can last quite awhile.
For Happy and Healthy Pets Homemade dog treats are beneficial for your pet for a few reasons. For example, store bought treats contain preservative and chemicals that are not good for your companion. Making the treats at home means you can use only the best and freshest ingredients.
The treats made in the Hammacher Schlemmer homemade pet treat maker are the perfect texture for cleaning your pet’s teeth. They are crunchy yet slightly chewy and will remove plaque effectively.
Dogs and cats enjoy the homemade treats as much as we enjoys mom’s (or grandmom’s) cooking.
Bonus Tip Give your dog a cool treat during hot summer months with the Kool Dogz Ice Treat Maker. Freeze dog treats into a block of ice for a refreshing summer treat. The kit includes a reusable freezer bucket, mounting stand, and some receipts.
