Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium cod fillets skin removed

Instructions
 

Air Fryer

  • Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Removing excess moisture helps them crisp up instead of steaming.
  • Slice the fillets into strips or small bite-sized pieces, depending on your dog's size. Thinner strips (about ¼ inch) will get crispier; thicker chunks stay chewier.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 175C/375°F for about 3 minutes.
  • Arrange the cod pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd them, or they'll steam instead of crisp.
  • Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the outside is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Let cool completely before serving. Fish holds heat, so give it a few extra minutes.

Oven Baked Option

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the cod as described above and arrange in a single layer, leaving space between pieces.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping once, until firm and lightly golden.
  • Cool fully before serving.

Dehydrator Option (For Longer-Lasting Treats)

  • Slice the cod into thin, even strips, about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
  • Arrange the strips on dehydrator trays without overlapping.
  • Dehydrate at 145°F (63°C) for 6-8 hours, checking at the 6-hour mark. The treats are done when they're firm and dry all the way through, with no soft or moist spots.
  • Let cool completely before storing.

Notes

Yield - Approximately 40-60 small treats, depending on the size of your cod fillets and how large you cut each piece.
