Rawhides. I LOVE rawhides. They are my go to when I have an excited dog in my face and I'm not in the position to get down on the floor and play with her. I especially love rawhides on rainy days when it's impossible to take the dog out to get some good exercise. However, rawhides really are not the best for your dog. So I started researching and found a good alternative. Homemade sweet potato rawhides. Since I'm all about easy recipes... this is, of course, super simple.
All you need is a sweet potato, a sharp knife, cookie sheet, and oven!
Step 1: First, preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Step 2: Slice one end of the potato off.
This allows you to turn it on its side and cut with a flat surface.
Step 3: Slice the potato into small pieces, no smaller than 1/4".
Step 4: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 3 hours, turning the slices over half way through.
Step 5: Cool after baking and have an entertained, distracted dog for a few minutes!
Refrigerate for up to three weeks.
Emma threw hers up in the air and chased it a bit before finally settling in to chew.
