Natural Homemade Vegan Dog Treats

Being the frugal gal that I am, I was researching dog treat recipes when I came across one that was too easy to pass up. Not only is it easy to make, it's vegan and healthy!!!
These meat-free dog treats are a satisfying alternative to rawhide or meaty treats. Sweet potatoes are known for healthy beta-carotene and can be broken down in some dogs more easily than rawhide.


Sweet Potato Chewy Treat Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 250° F

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Cut off one side of the sweet potato lengthwise, as close to the edge as possible.

  4. Cutting the side of the potato first allows you to then turn the potato onto this flat surface that you have just created. Having a stable area to rest the potato will make it easier to cut the potato into slices. Don't discard that first piece, it comes out just as yummy as the rest!

  5. Cut the rest of the potato into 1/3" slices, no smaller than 1/4".

  6. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Bake for 3 hours, turning half way through.

  8. Cool completely on a wire rack. (If you want, you can cut the treats into smaller pieces).

By the way, Lucky loves them!!!
