This video has been such a huge help, thank you so much! I recently found out that my dog is intolerant to some of the preservatives found in most store-bought treats so I bought a dehydrator to start making my own. I've made multiple batches using this video as a guide and they turned out great!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I'm trying to get my 6 cats to eat an all raw diet, but I have 2 stubborn little guys who insist on crunchies. This method could be the GAME CHANGER!!!!!!
Great content, the research and data behind the videos are very much appreciated. As a future suggestion, if you are open to them, a video about preparing/preserving each protein and organs would be great. One of the greatest challenges when balancing my dogs raw diet came when i was searching the safety, based on bacteria preservation, of each meat.
This was super informative -and your pets are so cute, thank you so much! My dehydrator was just delivered a few minutes ago and I'm already looking for recipes 😂 anyways, new subscriber here! ☀️
Many ovens have a dehydration program. Our Miele oven have that, so handy. I dehydrate a lot, my family here in Norway hunt, so I always have things like moose meat in my freezer.
Would you recommend any additional safety recommendations for dehydrating ground Turkey? I form it into strips mixed with pumpkin puree and dehydrate it at 165 for 10-12 hours. Should I oven blast after? I want to give treats to friends but I’m scared of them having any type is surviving bacteria.
I want to buy this equipment, what is that machine? Also if I dry RAW meat do I have to worry about parasites or any bacteria or this equipment apply heat like when you’re cooking food. I’m a veterinary technician and I want to make lots of treats for my own small business but I want to avoid those risks. Thank you for the video, very detailed and easy to understand!
Just buy any mold. They have tons on Amazon. I just got 4 that's for less than $12. Makes bones, donuts, hearts and more. Plus I got one that makes 500 treats at a time or close to it. It's huge lol it was abt $13.
Omg yayay I was lowkey waiting for u to post my cat is doing sooo gud she is finally eating chunks omg ur prs are so cute tangy looks like my car aweee
I was waiting for this one!! 😜😜 Any books about raw canine nutrition that you would recommend for people that know the basics about raw feeding but would like to know about more in depth nutrition stuff? Also, how long can you store these treats for?
Some great books are Canine Nutrigenomics, Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet, K9 Kitchen Your Dogs' Diet: The Truth Behind the Hype, and Optimal Nutrition Raw and Cooked Canine Diets to name a few. You can store treats for a few months if they are fully dehydrated.
Please - i have to know; are your dehydrater trays designed so that the meat does not stick or did you spray the trays with cooking spray. will coating the trays with oil even help in that regard? Thanks you
Great video! I dehydrate treats for mine as well. Have you ever dehydrated chicken heads? Got a ton from a local farmer and have seen them sold but wasn't sure if they get too brittle
Are they still considered raw if they are dehydrated? If yes are they still considered raw after blasting in the oven for 3 minutes? Or does it change the composition?
Love all your videos you have been a great resource for us! One question if you are able to answer or maybe I missed it in the video - if feeding dehydrated liver as a training treat is it the same value as regular liver for their daily portion or is it now less because it's been dehyrdrated (for example if I weigh these and incorporate it into my dogs meal plan as their daily percentage is it the same value as liver that hasn't been dehydrated?)
So there is some nutrient loss, yes. It shouldn't replace the organ meat that should be taking up the 5% of the diet, however it shouldn't be disregarded either. If you feed a ton of dehydrated liver, it may be best to cut back on the liver in the meal just a bit that day, but because of minor nutrient depletion from dehydrating, it shouldn't be used as a raw replacement!
Hello :) are there no issues when it comes to the little square ones? I mean, will not they scratch our furry friend’s mouth because of the edges? Ordered a dehydrator machine yesterday and so excited to try these! Thanks very much :)
@@stellawu305 dehydrated food should only be given as a treat as there is a decent amount of nutrients depleted from the dehydration process. Not necessary to add water to them either. You're thinking of freeze dried meat! Freeze drying still keeps nutrients in tact for the most part, and that's what you add water to
Things i dehydrated today and where I got them Viva Raw Beef cat food (My cat dosent like it so now its treats) Cod Strips (wild caught by my dad) Ground Mackerel (Asian market) Chicken Gizzard Lamb Heart (Local halal market)
Oooo I have the get a dehydrator 😱😱 Question: How do these treats affect the ratio of food you feed them that day/week? Since liver should only make up 5% of the daily in take - if you know you're giving your pup liver treats that day do you reduce the amount of liver you feed them? Or these small amounts don't affect them too much? I'm getting my pup in a month and I'll obviously be doing loads of training and will need to have loads of treats on hand so I'm curious if that'll throw her meal off balance.
Pig ears form the store still have the skin on them. They remove the hair by dunking the pig carcass in boiling water for a minute or two. After that the hair is easy to scrape off. The process is called scalding the pig. You can do it too ears at home in a pot if you want to get rid of the hair. It would probably only take a quick dunk.
not from the Primal Pack but Matsu the dog is a mix between Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Cardigan Welsh Corgi called a Cardigan Pembroke Corgi again not from the Primal Pack
welp, amazing vid as always! I really enjoyed it lol. btw I have a question if you don't mind, but do you feed matsu the same diet he ate as a puppy today? much appreciated! 💖
Thanks! Yes I do, however he ate a lot more food per his body weight when he was a puppy because he needed it for growth. Other than that, ingredients are the same!
Hello! I’m new to raw feeding and have recently started my dog 50% raw and 50%kibble. Since I still feed kibble and some nutrients in the kibble can be more which may let me get away with supplementing some nutrients and I’m kinda lost on how I can calculate if I still need to add in foods to fill those nutrition holes. It’s kinda hard to explain ahhhh. I’m feeding nature’s logic original btw, perhaps you can make a video about it?
There is a myth about feeding kibble and raw together, but it has basically been debunked. If your dog is doing well with 50/50, then keep it up. I do have a balancing video of what you need to add in to the meal to fill nutritional gaps, but the amounts will depend on how much your dog weighs and how much raw you're feeding. Here are a few videos: th-cam.com/video/6yDyA0jh-sk/w-d-xo.html | th-cam.com/video/hHrR_M2HOOo/w-d-xo.html
I'd like to have a horizontal dehydrator just like yours ! I make my own dehydrated treats once a month for Happy my dog and he is kean on it ! +, it's much cheaper than buying already dehydrated food.
thank you so much for this! i recently got a dehydrator, so i’m very inspired to make my own dog treats! i even got a cute mickey mouse mold to put them in.
my oven only goes to 90 degrees C . OOFERS But maybe I can ask my parents to get a dehydrator sometime, I really wanna make my own treats, its healthier and you know whats in them. Maybe I can get one that is used or second hand, so its cheaper, does the job right?
Instead of leaving your oven open which seems very wasteful just go and wipe off the moisture every hour or so that condenses on the glas. I do this and just run my oven at 100celsius and dry meat in 5-8 hours like this.
Fat won’t dehydrate the same as meat. Trim away as much as you can ( put it on the bird table, in small pieces) then put the meat on the trays of the dehydrator to create tasty treats for your pal.
I would suggest to remove pig's hair before dehydrating. Don't want our pets to swallow loads of other animal hairs because it get clog inside their intestines. Surgery needed with Vet in many cases.
Too much of anything isn't great! But if you are giving them treats for training or just a few a day, totally fine. It's mainly organ meats that you shouldn't feed TOO much of.
This video was perfectly timed. I just started making my own treats. This was so helpful. Thank you
Perfect!
I died when that dog sat up on his back legs. What a cutie 💓 😍 💖 💕
It's his favorite trick 😆
Tangy was so adorable when he agreed to try his treat that I had to replay it like three times 😭
Also, super well done video as always!

I've been dehydrating treats for quite some time now and how to do liver has always eluded me .....so thanks for that.
So many fun options!
So genius to blend and then dehydrate in the molds!! Thank you so much for all the awesome tips!
Your music choices, are so appropriate. 😄
Haha thank you!!
Hi! Love your videos. Was wondering, my air fryer has a dehydrator setting, have you ever used that? Thank you!
Thank you for this informative video. Wondering why you have to oven blast first if giving to pets with autoimmune disease?
Amazing stuff as usual!!!
Thank you :3
Excellent video and just in time as I am getting my order today from the farmers for this purpose.
Perfect! :)
Thank you for the whole process.
such a good pet parent, love it

Im late to help but yes! Oven blast those turkey treats!
Great info video .. I always made chicken breast and sirloin steak for my fury ones. I’ll try liver this week . Thank you 🙏
I made dehydrated pig skin for my dog yesterday, I'm going to give them to her today to see if she likes them.
So does she like them?
@@jiliciar.1423 Yeah, she loves them.
Exciting!
I’ve been making my own dog treats for some years with a dehydrator. I learned temps over 115 kills the good nutrients. 😊
I’m going to start making my own! Tysm
Good luck, have fun!

Hi thank you for this! Do you need to oven blast the liver treats as well?
Wonderful video! Just wondering how long do dehydrated meats last once dehydrated? X
Omg yayay I was lowkey waiting for u to post my cat is doing sooo gud she is finally eating chunks omg ur prs are so cute tangy looks like my car aweee
So sorrry for the spelling mistakes I ment cat and pet

How long is the shelf life for these kinds of treats?
If we are going to dehydrate shrimps, do we boil the shrimps first?
Are they still considered raw if they are dehydrated? If yes are they still considered raw after blasting in the oven for 3 minutes? Or does it change the composition?
Thank you so much for the amazing video!!!
I would definitely give a try, but I may keep the meat size big enough in case my dog swallow up
Hi curious if you have done tendons?
I use my air fryer that has dehydration mode
Does the meat have to be at room temp before going into the dehydrator?
if you dehydrate snacks and they are not yet done, are they still ok to give to a dog or cat?
No, better to wait for it to fully dehydrate. Half raw meats can grow bacteria, especially if kept in room temperature.
@@PawsofPrey alright, thank you!
Can you do any kind of fish.
Thanks, super informative and useful!
Those pig ears are visually stunning! I’ve never seen pig ears with hair on.
Great video. Thank you
So informative just subbed ❤
How did you wash the pig ears? Just rinse with tap water or are there proper steps to do? Thanks :)
Can you use an air fryer to oven blast?
Where did you get the mould of little squares?

I don’t think that would really be a problem, however that does depend on your individual animal.
Great video!
shouldn't we cook boil (in water) meat (in my case i wanna go for chicken meat) before dehydrating it ?
Is it okay if it isn't thoroughly dry/dehydrated?
There are risks of bacteria growth if they are not fully dry
@@PawsofPrey Are there any nutrient defieciency if I dehydrate food, except for water?

Would this work to get the hair off rabbit hide? Or just lessen the hair
Woo what breed is that corgi? Is it a mix of husky? Looks cool
not from the Primal Pack but Matsu the dog is a mix between Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Cardigan Welsh Corgi called a Cardigan Pembroke Corgi again not from the Primal Pack
Please make a whole video on kidney disease in Cats and dogs

@@PawsofPrey ohhh alright! tysm! 💖
I just started raw feeding my dog and she doesn't like raw liver and raw heart. Can I give dehydrated liver as the 5% liver or should I just boil it?
try feeding it partially frozen. some dogs are weirded out by the texture of offal, even muscle meat -type offal like heart.
Why did you blend the liver instead of just cutting it in strips?
Is the mold silicone?
What about dehydrated chicken feet? I’ve bought those from an Etsy shop and my pup loves them!
Amazon link doesn't work :( love the video tho! can't wait for your next video!
Oh no! Just fixed it sorry
Do you know how long you can store the jerky form?
I don't off the top of my head, but you should keep it in the fridge if there is still moisture within the food
Do you use a air fryer?
Nope, dehydrator!
Oven blast for 3 minutes or 10 minutes?
Grazie, brava 👏👏 molto interessante👍🏼iscritto😉 un saluto e un'abbraccio dall'Italia🤗
Can you still do this with things with bone in them? Like chicken necks, feet?
Do i need fresh chicken and meat or is it okay to buy them from the grocery?

the molds are called lick mats
How long do dehydrated treats last? Sorry if I missed this info in the video
what if my oven has a dehydrate button ??
I wonder how much electricity it takes. Like. Do you really save money ?
Liked your video but the doggy doesn't need anymore treats!😄
2:12 😂
I admit, the pork ears made me gag a bit. 😂
Instead of leaving your oven open which seems very wasteful just go and wipe off the moisture every hour or so that condenses on the glas. I do this and just run my oven at 100celsius and dry meat in 5-8 hours like this.
Are the doggos going to eat the fur on the pig ears? Hmm. Wolf kids unite.
I came here for the pig ears

Don't you have a spatula? The hand smearing is really disgusting.
