Has anyone dried chicken tenderloins? If so, how did they turn out? My vet recommends using chicken we as humans eat vs the chicken jerky for animals.

OHHH my little one loves them. I do this every week. I usually buy chicken breast, freeze it so it is easier to slice, then I slice it nice and thin, and use my dehydrator to make the jerky. He goes nuts for it and will actually wait by the machine till its done. Its great for drying liver for treats to!

I was worried about this product being produced in China, but have had no issues for past two years. I feel because they are 100% dried chicken, and the reputation of PCI they are safe. I have bought some of the chicken jerky made in USA that my dog has negative bowel reactions to.

While I cannot say for certain that death or illness occurred, I CAN say these are, by far, the BEST jerky treats I've ever purchased, EVER. I've been giving our dogs (4 of varying sizes, big to small) chicken jerky for many years, w/ no ill effects. I happened on these after the recall of the commercial brand. I have never been happier. The jerky treat "crew" are top notch for quality, shipping and customer service. The treats may be a tad pricey but they seem to last longer as they're chewy, not brittle or hard. Really though, who can put a price on good, healthy treats? Give the small bag a try, you will not be disappointed!

I am not sure about your question. I cook thawed chicken tenderloins on mine. Sorry, can't help you with that one.

I get a can of science diet dog food beef or chicken gourmet and cut it into three sections. I then quarter each of the three sections. I dice one of the quarters and sprinkle it on that. It doesn't do well on the dry food.

We add a little Tylan to our dog's food at the recommendation of our veterinarian.He has food allergies, and it's helped. Sorry, I don't know anything about chickensor peacocks!

This was not meant to be a primary food source. Great for sick dogs or short duration. A better food is IVET dry in 33 lb sacks at your vet. Watch out for suspense dates, the last batch I bought said the expiration date was in 4 months. Of course you need to rehydrate them before feeding them to your dogs. Not doing so could have dire consequences. d

It should be OK. Go to their website and compare ingredients. I'm guessing it is a little lower in fat and protein which means you can feed your pup a bit more treats, but not much more, LOL! I accidentally purchased the puppy formula instead of adult and my dogs were fine. The puppy formula has more protein and fat, but to tell the truth, not much! And the price was so much cheaper than the adult formula, I just might buy it all the time! Its a good seven bucks less per case! Wellness and some of the other so-called high quality foods have much more protein in their dry food alone. My pups eat Taste of the Wild dry food, which is an excellent, never advertised, (so the cost savings can be passed on to the consumer) lower cost, high quality, no grain, high quantity of meat (not meat byproducts) food and the doggies love it. Their protein is a little less than those other popular high prices brands. My sisters German Shepherd could not handle the high protein and ToTW had just enough. So, I dont think messing with a few grams of protein one way or another makes much of a difference for the time it will take for your pup to eat one case of dog food. I have two standard Dachshunds (6 y.o. & 4 y.o.) & a 5-1/2 y.o. Boston Terrier mix. All very healthy. They share 1/3 can of CSFTDLS as a flavor enhancer (little princess Bostey girl doesn't like just dry food, the Doxies will just about eat beef flavored cardboard, they don't care, LOL), 2x's per day.

Wow, that is very odd. My dog is fine with this food, but is fussy from time to time so I switch it up with PRIMAL FORMULA brand, and also give the Stella's Surf and Turf and the chicken. Why not call the phone number on the package for more information from the company' maybe they could shed some light on it.

Because the dog food is dehydrated (and completely dried), it remains fresh. It can be fed either in its dry form (I break it up into almost a powder) or it can be reconstituted. Highly recommended!

If sprinkling it on dry food does not work maybe you can broil a PLAIN chicken breast, mince a small piece of it in a food processor and add the omega oil to it, then mix in some dry food to see if she will eat it. Sometimes it is all trial and error until you find a solution. Hope this helps.

What is "wheat germ"? What is in it? How is it made. I guess the question is "where does it come from"? It is in quite a few dog recipe in smaller quantities. I wonder if it is bad for them? Do you know?

My dog cannot eat chicken. There is chicken in a lot of dog food and cookies. My vet put her on duck and potato and she does very well. There are several brands out with just these two ingredients but I have been pleased with Natural Balance both canned and dry.

use chicken broth instead of water for starters. 2nd day, like stew, tastes better. try adding beef cubes, chicken bits or sausage...

Janet,So sorry but my dogs have not had Southwest - they have had wetlands in their diet and have loved it, I usually mix it with either the dry High Prarie or the dry Pacific stream. Chose this dog food as a result of checking out dog food advisor.com and finding a great quality dog food then researched all prices and availability on Amazon. I know it doesn't answer your question, but perhaps helps in other ways. Thanks

Thank you for posting this. I didn't know that this was happening so I checked with the company. They did, indeed, confirm that they are switching to chicken byproduct meal, although they insist that they are using only "clean" byproducts. I do not wish my dogs to eat any byproducts at all so I will not be using this dog food any more. It's a shame that they feel they need to cheapen their great product to make more money.

I have noticed that some bags have crisper patties than others. I break up a patty and put it on top of my pup's kibble and they absolutely love it. I have only bought the chicken and I agree with the other reviewer that said its like "crack" for dogs. One of mine will push me away so he can get at it!!!
