About

Over the past few days I have been reading about all the dogs that have gotten sick and died from Dog Jerky treats purchased from China. Ever since the last major dog food tragedy I have been making my own dog jerky. It is super easy and affordable.
I just purchased two sweet potatoes weighing 1.59 total pounds. At 79 cents a pound the total for the sweet potatoes was $1.26. The potatoes yielded 7 oz of treats. To buy 7 oz of Sweet Potato Jerky treats at a store would cost between $7.00 - $8.00.
Besides being very inexpensive I do not need to worry if the treat is safe. This recipe works just as well with thinly sliced chicken.
