Buying pet treats these days is scary, with so many being recalled and making cats sick. Not to mention, you never really know what is in them. Making your own cat treats is not only safer, it is generally less expensive.

Step 1

Drain the can of salmon thoroughly. Pour the salmon into a bowl and tear into very small pieces.

Step 2

Cut cat grass with scissors, creating pieces that are between 1/3 and 1/2 inch long. Mix the grass and salmon together thoroughly.

Step 3

Spread the mixture in a food dehydrator and dehydrate for two to three hours. Once it is thoroughly dried, break into smaller pieces and store in an airtight container.

Tips

Cat grass is grass from barley or wheat seeds that is grown indoors. Do not use grass from a yard where chemicals may have been sprayed.
