2/15/24: I made these yesterday, one batch w/lean ground beef & pureed carrots and the other w/ground turkey & canned pumpkin, using my trusty jerky tool & dehydrator & WOW! they came out great! (It took approximately 16 hours.) This morning, I gave one each to my two pups, & while waiting on bated breath, they lapped it up in seconds...they LOVED them! I especially love that I know what's in them, no preservatives of any kind, so they're getting the au natural best. Thanks so much for the recipe. I can now officially kick Pup-Peroni's to the curb and save myself $17. I am SO happy. Yay!! 😀
I made these in oven just as you described in the video and they came out pretty good the nice and crispy no moisture and my Bubba loves them it’s like a drug to him. I didn’t have the gadget that was using in the video, but I used Ziploc bag and cut the end and made it come out in a long cylindrical shape. I thought to come back and report my experience specially for dog parents whose pets are experiencing food allergy from commercial dog Food and treats. I cook for my Bubba at home every week treats were missing. This video helped. Thanks
would eggs work as a binder/filler as well? I always wonder why turkey and chicken treats are made at such high heats, seeing that the instant kill for bacteria is 165, but at 150 it takes only three minutes to kill all the bacteria, and at 145 it takes just under 10 minutes.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I will be trying these soon to save money. The ones I purchase that look just like these cost a fortune. Have you ever added any flours to stretch the recipe? I was thinking of oat flour or millet? If so, how did you adjust amounts? And last question- would vacuum packing increase shelf life for 2 months at room temp?I am worried if I vacuum pack and freeze it will introduce moisture. Thanks for any help😃
Ok...question. I did these in my oven with pastry disposable tube. After they cooled, my Papillon didn't hesitate to enjoy. My question, how do you prevent moisture from collecting after cooled in plastic containers? I also did a flat thin mixture in 9x12 lasagne dish. Cut into bite size strips when cooled. Great simplicity, one source protein, low fat and pumpkin fiber.
If you cooked them at a low temperature in the oven, take them out. Let me cool completely. Set oven again for 350 degrees, put the trays back in and turn off oven. That should help them really dry out and then put them in plastic bag the next day. Giving the jerky several hours to dry out the jerky more is key from collecting moisture for future batches. 🐶
In refrigeration, probably a few weeks. Shorter life in fridge then air temperature since all the moisture has been pulled out of the jerky from dehydration.
Ok please specify on how long the shelf life is. Do you put 5hem in an air tight container or fridge or freeze them and how long will they last in each method or what you would recommend please
Hi Anna. When jerky is dried after dehydrated, a ziplock bag is fine. Do not store in fridge or freezer. When left in a ziplock bag room temperature, it should last a month or two. Cooling the jerky will actually put moisture back into them and shortening their shelf life. I hope this helps!
Hello! I want to make these but have been reading that dehydrating poultry might not be enough to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens. Is dehydrating them in a dehydrator at 170 for 12 hours (my dehydrator doesn’t let me set it at 167) enough to kill everything and should I be concerned about putting them into the oven briefly afterwards? I would like to last at least a month on the shelf. Thanks for your help!
Hello I have 1 lbs of turkey how much pumpkin would I add .... and will these last a while like bully stick or do break easy n eaten in a few mins I want something to last awhile she weight 2.6 pound
What should the consistency be once completely baked. My daughter has 2 big labs and eat treats in seconds. Will these last or only in seconds. Also I have a 5 lb. Maltese with only 4 teach would these be to hard for her. I’m looking for treats she will and able to eat.
Question. Great idea. I wonder are these Easier to eat than standard DIY dog jerky which takes a LOT of chewing. I have a 15 pound dog who lost 24 of her teeth two weeks after I adopted her. Always bought freeze dried ones because they crumble better. However, maybe with ground meat and pumpkin they are softer? Thanks for letting me know! My vet recommends pumpkin added to homemade dog and cat food now and then!
Hi Morgine - with all the moisture taken out of the jerky in this video it becomes so easy to snap the jerky in small bite size pieces or you can crumble up. I would recommend this for dogs that do have teeth issues. Enjoy!
@@WaggMorePetBoutique okay awesome! I just keep seeing things online not to feed your dogs chicken jerky so I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the quick response!
Pumpkin is a fiber-rich food that also contains important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, E, and C, and potassium and iron. Plain, canned pumpkin is available year-round and can be a great addition to your canine first aid kit
Depends on how much you purchase to dehydrate. Example = 3lbs of ground turkey after dehydrating, will give you roughly 50% less of its weight giving you approximately 1.5 Lbs of finished project, jerky.
@@WaggMorePetBoutique Hi, is it a few months or weeks? I seen in another response you mentioned a few months, just wanted to clarify. thank you so much!
...Or... instead of spending money on a dedicated tool you'll use only a handful of times, hear me out - this will sound crazy! - You pull out a gallon sized bag, and cut a corner off... 😮
First of all, the gun is cheap. Secondly, the gun is much more efficient than that old bag trick. Third, who said it would only be used a handful of times? Some of us are making these treats for our dogs all the time. Speak for yourself.
Everything looks so yummy but looks are deceiving. They taste terrible. I ended up giving them to my dog which loves them and keeps me buying more and more.
I wouldn't give these to my dogs without adding curing salt to them and letting them cure overnight. They also need to be reach an internal temperature of 160°F and just bringing up to temperature without curing is still not safe. People are nuts about using sodium nitrate (pink curing salt), but guess what? so-called "uncured" meats use celery powder or celery salt which is, still curing salt, sodium nitrate (it's what was used in the old days before pink salt came along). The only difference is that celery is natural while pink salt is synthetic. Both do the same job and neither are any better or worse for your health (easy to Google). For those who will complain about the presence of salt at all, these are treats, not the dog's main diet. A little salt is okay. No big deal. But also, you're going to be using a very small amount of cure to meat ratio. Still, no big deal. Better to be safe than sorry. I've been smoking and curing sausages and jerky for a couple of decades. I urge anyone thinking about making these sticks for your dogs to research safe jerky making by visiting forums like The Smoking Meat Forums and the USDA site for food safety. Why take the chance? I know people are going to say, "I made these and my dog didn't get sick!" Good for you. What about the dogs that do get sick? Look at it this way, you've never had a car accident until you have one. Stay safe, please.
Wut??? You do know that dogs don't get "sick" as easily as humans do, right? Apparently not. They can eat chicken contaminated with salmonella and not get sick (but we would). Why? Because their gut processes food much faster than ours do, hence the contamination doesn't have a chance to infect. Ask any raw feeding dog owners, who don't worry about such things. Do YOUR research.
Baking destroys benefits and nutrients....dogs need moisture content from the meat. A vet told me that she sees sick dogs from all over the country because they are on a "dry" diet. VOPC in Orange County CA..she handed me a "Paleo" diet information sheet.... completely changed my dogs lives and health along with many of my friends dogs!

This is also good for their digestion health. I never would have thought to include pumpkin! Thank You for sharing.
Enjoy!
Thank you so much. These turned out great! My Newfound unfortunately has many allergies so being able to make these myself is fantastic.
Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique 😊
Doggy is adorable
Haha.. Your dog is so gentle. Mine would have ripped part of my hand off. LOL
Mine too
I love your taste tester.
thank you for sharing this. great idea, 👍
Thank you for sharing! This is very helpful!
Adorable. Pre sniffed to even consider taking. 😂❤
Great video! Love the opening scene.
Just discovered you today,thanks so much great video I am now a subscriber ❤ from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks For finding us! = - )
Making these?,"Most Def!"👍
Seems easy to make 💕💕
Wow! This is GREAT! Thank you!!
Can I use ground venison instead?
Sure. You might need to dehydrate longer.
How do you store it?
ZIplock Bag. Room Temperature.
Instead of oven bake can i do it on air fryer?
Try it!
Awesome video - could you share what dehydration machine you are using ?

@@WayWordWay I don’t see why you couldn’t add eggs to the mix. Let me know how they turn out!
Could this be spread out on a non stick sheet and then be cut into strips or rolled up (I don't have a jerky gun)
Absolutely. That should work also
How long this treat will be good?
a couple of months in a sealed bag = - ) Enjoy
What size nozzle you use ?mine is 0.06 in and I think they are pretty wide I have an Italian greyhound , currently in the dehydrator 🤞🏾
Have 1/2" round nozzle. Enjoy!
IGs are awesome!!! 😉
Making this now!
Cool Jerkey gun!!! can I have more information of your jekey gun??
@@joyfulj2542 a.co/d/emIWFyd
So I don't have one of these jerky making tubes. Can it be rolled out flat and get similar results??
if you can roll out the mix thin enough it should work. Once its dried out, you can always break the jerky into smaller pieces = -)
@@WaggMorePetBoutique sounds good - thank you so much!!
I use my Kitchen Aid dough hook to mix. Works great.
Excellent!! ❤️🐶
What would be the shelf life? Are they shelf stable?

Have never tried flour with the jerky. If the jerky if dehydrated properly, and vacuumed sealed, it should last a few months longer.

when you cook it in the oven, how long will this be good? does it get bad easy?
How long will these last and how do you store them please?
room temperature ziplock bag. Should get 4-5 weeks once the jerky is dried out and cooled from machine.
@@WaggMorePetBoutique thank you :)
shelf life please in refigerator

How do you store the jerky?
ziplock bag or container with lid at room temp.
How do you store these how long do they keep.
As long as the jerky as dehydrated long enough, a large ziplock bag should last about 4-5 weeks at room temperature.
Hello I have 1 lbs of turkey how much pumpkin would I add .... and will these last a while like bully stick or do break easy n eaten in a few mins I want something to last awhile she weight 2.6 pound
Aprox 1/2 cup of pumpkin. Enjoyable treat, but not as long lasting as a bully stick.

Do I need to cook the turkey first since it is raw? Does the dehydrator cook the turkey?
Its cooked in the dehydrator. Its like cooking jerky for yourself with raw ground beef and spices. But in the dog/cat one you do not add in spices.
Can these kept at room temperature?
Hi Mary, after dehydrated, in a ziplock bag they should last for several weeks.
Can I substitute ground chicken for the turkey?
Of course!
@@WaggMorePetBoutique okay awesome! I just keep seeing things online not to feed your dogs chicken jerky so I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the quick response!
Im going to try ground venison@@Atony_yo_homie
Is there a ratio of meat to veg that I need to follow?
Hi John, maybe for example one package of 1lb ground Turkey mix in 1/2cup of pumpkin purée. You want around a 70/30 or 80/20 ratio. Hope this helps!
Hi there can the pumpkin puree be replaced?
I don’t see why not! Maybe carrots blended? Or a veggie of your choice. Have fun with it!
How about sweet potatoes
Can I use these treats his training treats?
You can use any treat your dog likes to train them. Just be mindful of how much you give them vs their daily meal.
Of course! Enjoy 🐶
What does the pumpkin purée do?
Pumpkin is a fiber-rich food that also contains important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, E, and C, and potassium and iron. Plain, canned pumpkin is available year-round and can be a great addition to your canine first aid kit

Depends on how much you purchase to dehydrate. Example = 3lbs of ground turkey after dehydrating, will give you roughly 50% less of its weight giving you approximately 1.5 Lbs of finished project, jerky.

@@WaggMorePetBoutique Hi, is it a few months or weeks? I seen in another response you mentioned a few months, just wanted to clarify. thank you so much!
@@asyamonet2 I put these in zip lock bag with moisture absorbing package. Had them there for about a month and half and they still smelled/tasted fine
Would these work well for ground kangaroo too? How much do you sell these for? How do you wash the jerky gun too?
I've been dehydrating all sorts of meats n fish for my dogs...even their raw dog food and canned dog food for no waste.
How long do those keep?
A few months in a ziplock bag if dried out enough
Okay
how much month you can keep it?
If dried properly, should last a few weeks in a ziplock bag
@@WaggMorePetBoutique i want to make it as a small business and put it in a shop . how can i do to keep it longer

Do you sell these at your bakery? They look a bit “simple” and underwhelming compared to the stuff in the cases.
We do. They come bagged only. Not loose. Limited-ingredient treats do very well for us and customers dogs = - )
