  Hot Dog Treats Reply Contact I'm hoping for a quick response so I posted this here, hope that's okay.... Several of you posted previously how you make hot dog treats in the microwave. I have some hot dogs that need to be used up and wanted to make them tonight. Will someone please share how you do it.... I wasn't sure if you cook them on high and for how long, what size you cut the pieces and how long they will keep in the fridge. Are they supposed to turn out chewy or crunchy?? Thanks guys!!

All the Angels were busy so they sent me Caleb instead.

  Re: Hot Dog Treats Reply Contact  I use hot dogs all the time for treats. They're nicely portable and Ari loves 'em. Well, I actually use lower fat turkey dogs - since Ari cannot tolerate a lot of fat in her diet and if we're training I can go through a lot of treats. I halve the hot dog lengthwise then slice them thin and then cook them in the microwave until dried out. Honestly, I'm on autopilot when I use the microwave so I couldn't tell you how long I let them cook in there. Maybe 45 seconds on high? ~Sharon
