Next are mostly beef, then duck, and rarely pork or lamb. Jerky is usually dried, with varying moisture content, and comes in many types. Dried jerky with low moisture content lasts longer, is harder, suitable for young, strong dogs with good teeth; jerky with high moisture content is softer and smells good but spoils easily, so do not buy too much at once to avoid waste. Also, try to choose branded or previously tried jerky to avoid hygiene issues causing illness in dogs.

Regardless of the form, you can see that meat is combined with other ingredients. This type of snack uses the aroma of jerky to entice dogs to eat other things, such as carbohydrates, proteins, or dairy products. Usually, these snacks are made with jerky that has higher moisture content and combined with others.
