The one time Ruby Doodle Dog doesn’t have selective hearing is when she hears the words cookie or treats! She loves homemade dog food treats like the turkey Pupperoni treats along with meatballs, dog food toppers and biscuits.

These easy to make pupperoni treats are a great source of protein. They are a healthy snack in between meals and great for training treats.

Ruby loves these in a variety of meats. We switch off between Turkey sausage, hamburger meat that we roll, to chicken.

Always remember that not all people food is safe for pets. You’ll never want to add onions, grapes, or any other item toxic to dogs.

Tips and Tricks for Making Treats for your Dog

All of the above recipes can be in a dehydrator or an oven.

If using the dehydrator the thinner the slices, the less time it will take to dry.

Thicker slices will take longer.

Not cutting off the fat from meat can cause the meat to take longer to dry.

When using the oven method, keep your oven on the lowest setting. It does take longer in the oven, but you should be able to accomplish the same results within 8-10 hours of drying.

Experiment with leaving your oven door slightly ajar. At times this helps to dry out the meat quicker.

So Without Further Ado – Here are the Homemade Dog Food Treat Recipes

The Cheapest Way to Make Dog Treats

To save money I started looking into different homemade treat recipes.

My best tip: I found that I could save money by buying meats that were on sale or special price reductions at the grocery store.

In addition to the cost savings, the food I make for my dog is much healthier than commercial treats.

I use my dehydrator or even for making treats on a weekly basis. Most homemade treats keep for a week or more, and you can freeze the treats so that you always have some cheap, healthy alternatives on hand for your dog.
