CAN MY DOGS EAT SALMON?
Salmon is a great good to give to your dog as it is high in protein and a healthy source of omega-3, vitamin B-12 and fatty acids which helps keep their coat shiny.
Elderly dogs or those with arthritis can benefit from salmon as it can help reduce inflammation.
Salmon should be thoroughly cooked to ensure that any bacteria or parasites on the fish are eliminated. It should reach an internal minimum temperature of 145 degrees, according to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Limit salmon for your dog to once a week and remove any bones prior to cooking.
Always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new foods into your dog’s diet.
INGREDIENTS
All you need to make homemade salmon jerky is a salmon fillet. No seasoning, no other ingredients.
HOW TO MAKE SALMON JERKY DOGS TREAT
For this recipe we baked the salmon in the oven but if you have a dehydrator it can be made in there.
To make this salmon dog treat recipe it is as easy as:
- Thinly slice the salmon
- Bake until dry and crispy.
That's it! Possibly the easiest dog treat you can bake!
SALMON JERKY IN THE DEHYDRATOR
To make these salmon dogs treats in a dehydrator, slice thinly and place the strips on parchment lined dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at the highest heat for 4 to 10 hours depending on how thin the salmon strips are.
STORAGE
Once cooked, store the salmon jerky in an airtight container in a dark space for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.
