I’ve always bought jerky treats for Shep (my German Shepherd) and the price of them has always been high but lately they've gone out the roof. But we’ve spoiled him terribly so he doesn’t like the cheaper Milk Bone treats. Then there’s been this problem with jerky treats from China so we’ve been limited to what we can find that is made in the US, and Milo’s seems to have the market cornered in that area. Milo’s are about $10.00 per 12.5 oz bag which plays out to about $13.00 lb. Friggen outrageous but I took them anyway.
So fast forward to the meat section where I spot a nice 3 lb Angus boneless roast for $12.00 which I toss into the basket. It lands next to my $13.00 lb Milo’s dog treats. And in a moment of profound clarity I realize that my knife, my dehydrator and this roast are going to participate in a dog treat endeavor.
It’s simple enough and I’ll be damned if I can figure out why I didn’t do this before. Why buy store bought dog treats for $13.00 lb when you can buy very nice cut of beef for $3.99 lb and make your own? And a side benefit… I can eat the dog’s treats now.
