Now, here’s a one-ingredient doggie treat that you must try because it’s so easy to make and tasty.
Ingredients:
* 2 sweet potatoes
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 250°F (121°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Wash the skin of the potatoes thoroughly and then cut their ends off. Using a sharp knife, slice them evenly. Make sure, however, that the slices are at least 1/4 inches thick. You don’t want it to be too hard for your dog.
4. If your dog is small, you can cut them into little coin shapes.
5. Once you’ve cut the slices, place them on the baking sheet, and bake for about 3 hours. This is a long process and you will need to keep flipping them over halfway through the cooking process.
6. Turn off the oven and leave the chews inside as they cool down.
7. You can then easily keep the chews in a sealed container for close to 2-3 weeks.
