Anyone use one to make dog treats/food? If so, would appreciate recommendations on make/models suitable for catering for one, max two dogs - preferably, at a less than extortionate price! :)

I have inherited a youngster from a pet home that was fed raw and trained, as it is VERY food focussed, with dehydrated home made food. The dog, when out and about, does not currently see raw/cooked food as a reward but goes yampy for dehydrated. Is this because the flavour is intensified or what? I don't generally use food treats for my dogs but this one has currently gone six days without eating anything and does not carry an ounce of surplus weight whilst still in a developmental/growth period. It is early days for his new regime but want to be prepared in case all the old tricks fail.

Thank you.
 
Not sure about dogs but my husband goes crazy for dehydrated meat for example beef jerky to the point he started making his own!
 
Spaniel?

The pet forum raved about dehydrators, they're fabulous for treats if you slice up liver into bits etc. Much less messy than feeding fresh from pockets as CC does (did?)! Let me scout out a thread.

I tried doing liver in the oven but our gas is very erratic and I ended up with some weird looking lumps. I think a dehydrator would be far better!

Spaniel? Nah! A bracco, sadly, god help me.

Thanks for the link....those are a lot more affordable than the ones I was given by the ex-owner where they were the best part of £200.

Much appreciated.
