Recipes Tips

Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for your dog’s skin and coat. However, it’s important to remove any bones before making the jerky. Bones can cause choking hazards for your pup.

Be sure to slice the salmon as thinly as possible for even drying. Thicker slices may not dry completely, leading to spoilage.

You can also use a marinade injector to infuse the marinade directly into the salmon slices for a stronger flavor.
