This is my second attempt at making sweet potato dog chews. I made them previously and you can click here for the original recipe. Buddy and Ellie absolutely love these sweet potato dog chews but they don't last as long as the rawhide chews. I do freeze them to try to make them last longer but Buddy eats them in less than 5 minutes. Ellie takes a little bit longer to chew them. I think if you had a smaller dog who isn't a strong chewer, they would be comparable to a rawhide chew. Overall, these sweet potato dog chews are a healthy treat and are inexpensive to make.
