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.
Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.
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.

Very easy to follow recipe. My dogs love dehydrated salmon & salmon skin. We use to order for them from a natural dog treat company that would sell salmon skin. But it got to expensive since the company usually wants bulk ordering on their items. Now I make more of their treats instead of buying. And since I’m dehydrating & freezing more treats for both my 2 year old Shichons (Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise mix) this dehydrated salmon recipe has made it into my rotation. And I like I can do both the meat & skin. Most recipes were calling for removing skin or removing meat & dehydrating one or the other. I like how you are using both meat with skin left on. So easy.

Delighted your dogs are enjoying the recipes! I need to try dehydrating treats too!
Sylve says
Can you leave the cooked salmon unrefrigerated and how long does it last?
AngelaC says
It can be kept in a cool dark cupboard and should last up to 3 months.
