4 Benefits of Natural Dehydrated Treats for Pets

Dehydrated treats are healthier than highly processed pet treats. Also, they don’t have any preservatives that you can find in kibbles. For example, when meat is dehydrated, all nutrients within raw meat remain intact. There are two types of dehydrated treats commercial and homemade. Many pet owners choose to make pet treats at home and in this article, we will see the top 4 benefits of natural dehydrated treats for pets.

  1. Healthy & Nutritious

When you decide to make a dehydrated treat for your dog at home, the nutrients will be preserved and the only thing you’re removing is water. If you use raw vegetables, you can make a low-calorie and healthy goody for your dog. Also, if you choose dehydrated beef liver, kangaroo liver or lamb liver, you will be giving your dog vital nutrients such as high-quality proteins and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Home-made Liver treats are also an excellent source of essential fatty acids, vitamin B complex and minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorous, copper and zinc.  You can use these treats for dogs as obedience or reward tools, and they will definitely be jumping in joy!

2. Easy to Make

Today there are so many dog treat recipes from various helpful resources which are easy to follow. You have to do some research to find the quickest and simplest of them.  If you choose the right and easy recipe, you can play with your precious one while the treats are being made on dehydrator trays (or in the oven) and several hours later the treats are ready to be eaten, enjoyed and stored.

3. Store Easily & Keep for Extended Periods

The dog treats are moisture-free so you can store your natural dehydrated dog treats in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for a couple of weeks. They can be stored at room temperature for two to four weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to two months but you have to make sure they’re in airtight containers. Furthermore, you can use a vacuum sealer for storing your dehydrated treats and once you put the sealed bags in your freezer, they’ll be good for 9-12 months.

4. Cost-Effective

Most commercial dehydrated dog treats and chews are undoubtedly expensive to buy especially those that are meat-based. By making homemade dehydrated dog treats, you can save a lot of money. If you are planning to make dehydrated treats at home regularly, investing in a dehydrator can be a good choice because it can make the process much easier and faster. You can make dehydrated treats in your regular oven too if you prefer to do that.

If you are looking for healthy and nutritious treats or some training tools to reward your dog with, homemade dehydrated treats are a great option worth considering. Please always remember to make sure that anything you dehydrate is suitable for your pet since some fruit and vegetables can be poisonous to your pet and you should always consult with the veterinarian.
