Looking for a simple, healthy, and budget-friendly dog treat that your pup will love? These homemade sweet potato chews are the perfect alternative to store-bought treats. Not only are they natural, preservative-free, and rich in vitamins, but they also help promote good dental health by giving your dog something delicious to chew on!

Why Sweet Potatoes?

Sweet potatoes are a superfood for dogs, packed with fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants that support digestion, immune health, and coat shine. Unlike rawhide or artificial chews, these baked sweet potato treats are easy to digest and naturally sweet, making them a tasty and safe option for all dogs.

Easy Homemade Sweet Potato Dog Chews Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for added flavor and nutrition)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes – Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra nutrients. Slice them into ¼-inch thick strips for a chewy texture or ⅛-inch for crispier chips.
3. Coat Lightly (Optional) – Toss the slices in a little melted coconut oil for added flavor and health benefits.
4. Bake Low and Slow – Arrange the slices on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, flipping halfway through. The longer they bake, the chewier they become.
5. Cool Completely – Let the chews cool before serving. They will firm up as they cool.

Storage Tips

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for up to 3 weeks.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months, then thaw before serving.
