P.S. This oven-baked chicken jerky for dogs is the all-time favourite recipe of gorgeous Baloo the Newfypoo, who featured in our Pet Friendly Home Tour with his owner, Annika Mieling – the author of this quick and clever recipe!

Is chicken jerky good for dogs?

Chicken jerky is an excellent (and tasty!) way to provide your dog with the protein they need to thrive. But, it’s still important to remember that like any dog treat, chicken jerky should be fed to your dog in moderation, as part of a balanced diet.

How to Make Chicken Jerky For Dogs:

INGREDIENTS:

Free range chicken breast (One is more than enough!)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Slice the fresh chicken breast in very thin strips (the thinner the better).

2. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper, then place the chicken strips on it. Put them into a cold oven and heat to 300 Grad F (150 C). Cook for 1 hour.

3. Reduce the temperature to 210F (100C) and crack the oven door open to allow the moisture to escape. Leave the chicken strips in the oven for another 1.5 – 2 hours, then remove.

4. Allow the chicken strips to dry overnight at room temperature.

5. Store the chicken strips in a zip lock bag or similar, and serve as required!
