I am new to making my own dog biscuits and treats. The cost of treats now-a-days are outrageous, especially dried chews and those that are all natural with no preservatives. I started out with buying a used cheap food dehydrator (no fan, just a heating element). It did it's job and I was pleased with the outcome of my dried sweet potatoes (skin on).


I first fed JB two small 1 1/2' chips that were leathery. He loved them but noticed that in his stool, they were not digested. This made me think that all the good vitamins and health benefits did no good because they were never absorbed/digested. Now yesterday, I fed him 2 chips in the morning after he ate his kibble. Then I fed him his kibble for dinner. This morning almost 24hrs later he had diarrhea and threw up all the sweet potato. The kibble was digested but the sweet potato just sat in his stomach until he threw it up this morning. I decided to throw out the rest of the chips & I am now figuring out what I "CAN" make for him.


Anyone experience this with sweet potato or any other dehydrated "treat" for our babies?
