New PetIs homemade beef jerky safe for my dog or puppy to eat as a treat?
Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
While a very small limited amount of salt/spice free beef jerky is okay as a treat once in a while, feeding more frequently may cause an upset stomach and also may be too many calories and fat. There are a lot healthier treat alternatives out there such as a small amount of green beans, carrots, or even blueberries and apples are tasty treats without all the fat and extra calories.
I hope this helps and thanks again for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
