Sweet Potato Dog Chews

Makes About 15 chews · 3 hours 10 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed

Instructions

  1. 1Heat the oven to 120°C / 250°F and line two baking trays.
  2. 2Scrub the sweet potatoes well. Peeling is optional.
  3. 3Slice lengthways into strips about 0.5 cm thick — thicker slices stay chewier.
  4. 4Arrange in a single layer without overlapping.
  5. 5Bake for about 3 hours, turning every hour, until leathery but still flexible.
  6. 6Cool completely. They should bend rather than snap.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Because these are dehydrated rather than fully dried, refrigeration is safer than a room-temperature jar.

Serving considerations

  • Always supervise chews, and take away any piece small enough to swallow whole.
  • Sweet potato is calorie-dense compared with a leafy vegetable, so count chews as treats.
  • Ask your vet before adding regular chews if your dog is on a weight or prescription diet.
