How to Store Dehydrated Dog Treats

Natural dog treats like dehydrated chicken feet and beef tracheas are a healthy and satisfying snack for your pup. To keep these treats fresh and safe, proper storage is key. Here’s how to do it:

πŸ“¦ Store in a Cool, Dry, and Dark Place

Keep dehydrated treats in an airtight container and tuck them away in a pantry or cupboard. Sunlight, heat, and moisture are the enemies of freshness, so avoid storing treats near windows or appliances that generate heat.

🧴 Use the Right Packaging

Treats can be stored in vacuum-sealed bags or heavy-duty zippered bags to minimize air exposure. This not only helps preserve flavour and texture but also prevents mould growth.

Shelf Life

When stored correctly, most dehydrated dog treats can last for several months. That said, always check the manufacturer’s instructions for best-by dates and specific storage recommendations.

➑️ Tip: Label your storage containers with the date you bought.

πŸ’‘ Make Natural Treats Last Longer: Freeze Them.

Want to get even more mileage out of your dog’s chicken feet, duck wings, Rabbit ears, or tracheas? Try freezing them into a tasty, long-lasting snack!

🧊 How to Do It:

  1. Pick a lick mat or silicone mold – the kind with grooves works best.
  2. Add a natural treat: Place a chicken foot, piece of trachea, or other favorite treat in the center.
  3. Pour in a liquid base: Use dog-safe bone broth, goat milk, canned dog food, or even pureed wet meat.
  4. Freeze until solid: Leave it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours.
  5. Serve and enjoy: The combination of licking and chewing keeps dogs engaged and cools them down.

🐢 Why It's Great:

  • Extends the life of the treat
  • Provides mental stimulation
  • Perfect for hot days or energetic pups
  • Can help clean teeth and soothe anxiety
