Dog-Friendly Trail Mix
You bring your own trail mix along with you during your walk or hike, so why not prepare a treat that your furry friend can enjoy while on the go, too? This recipe can be altered to best fit your dog’s tastes. Use plain meat (with no seasoning) that has been cooked until done. You can use chicken, ground beef, or steak – whichever you have on hand and that your dog enjoys the most. You can also mix in potatoes and other vegetables, but make sure to avoid onions as these can be dangerous for dogs. You can also add in fruits, but please avoid grapes or raisins. Cut up the ingredients into small pieces that are about one-half inch. Place the food into a food dehydrator or the oven heated to 200 degrees until dried. You can then store the mix in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh.
