Hi Leslie, I’m so happy you and your pup love the sweet potato chews! They’re such a cost-effective treat, and I agree—it’s hard not to snack on them while they cook. 😉 I hope your pup enjoys the PB & pumpkin treats too! Thanks for your kind words.

It's just hard to not snack on them while they're cooking.

I look forward to trying your PB & pumpkin recipe.

Thanks for sharing that info!

I know the fat content of sweet potatoes, and you have WPRM rounding up to the nearest whole number—the actual fat is way under one gram. A note in the recipe card or changing the setting might be good.

Again, nice blog, and thanks for keeping it simple.

Very nice Christmas treat idea - thanks for your review!

Thank you! My dog suffers from bladder stones so will re-think & look for more suitable options.

Meh. I really tried- they didn’t move my pooch. He’s a 10yr old Pitt mix so maybe he is just set in his ways.. he didn’t want anything to do with these treats- I found them delicious.

THANK YOU! Still so much less expensive than purchased!

Natural gas is clean energy source ya dope. Don’t be woke on here. Keep that goofiness to yourself. Maybe a battery operated oven or dehydrator.With batteries made by poor African children. Lazy

Yay!

I wouldn't use natural gas as I have 50lb dogs who snap through these in seconds, and that's a huge carbon footprint for little payoff. I use the dehydrate function on my hand-me-down Instantpot Omni because it's way more economical and green friendly. If you don't have an alternative option like an electric oven or dehydrator, I'd say skip the hassle and just buy a reputable, high quality dog treat and support a business invested in making healthy snacks for pets.

I've bought the commercially produced ones for my dog and she loves them but figured I was paying way too much for them, but have not seen these types of sweet potatoes before!

Thanksin advance 🙂

Thinking of doing them but also wondering if it will save money I spent $11 Canadian on a big bag at Costco

Wonderful!

I tried this recipe and they came out just perfectly.

How long are they in the dehydrator for and is there a temp for it??

Any idea how long these might last in the freezer? I like to switch between these, frozen carrots, and other things. I like to make larger batches when possible.

It’s like $15-30 for a bag of dehydrated sweet potato “chews” at any retail store that sells them. But for $3.00-4.50 I can make the same thing—and I know it’s 100% sweet potato, and there’s no dregs (only decent sized cuts that my dog will actually chew.)

Granted, I haven’t factored in the additional electricity cost. However, I’m positive running the oven for a few hours doesn’t come close to the ~$20 I save making them myself.

Hello, I see a lot of people saying they used a dehydrator but no one is mentioning what temp and got how long? thanks for your help!

Wonderful!

We're so glad the recipe was a hit!

I kept them in a container in the cupboard. They lasted 2 weeks- the dog scarfed them up!
