Comment on Finding the best dog treat with statistics

Comments

My dog's favorite treat is the most expensive one. Or the one that causes the most intestinal (and therefore cleanup) issues. All it takes is a pause and some brief math to see that a lot of (good for your dog) dog treats are $16/lb. That's not even remotely the most expensive. It's cheaper to feed them straight meat. I've resorted to making my own treats. It's like $4/lb, plus you know exactly what goes into it (mostly ground turkey, yams, rice/chickpea flour).

care to share the recipe?

Not OP but one thing you can do is boil or lightly-pan-fry (don't use any spices, or at least check that they're dog-safe, _do not_ use garlic) chicken thigh or chicken breast, cut it into small cubes and freeze it in sandwhich bags.

Dogs love it because it's just little meat cubes. Thaw it before you give them.

You can do the same thing with hotdogs.
