How They're Made

TriPom Chews Chicken Jerky is handmade from whole Premium American 100% USDA Grade 'A' fresh, not frozen, Chicken Breasts purchased from a high-end restaurant supplier.

Our Jerky is NOT chicken parts ground up and pressed into strips with cheap fillers like many other products that 'say' they are a chicken treat but, in reality, contain very little chicken.

Each piece is hand-cut from whole chicken breasts and dehydrated by us. We only sell Chicken Jerky that WE make. Some companies may claim to make their own Chicken Jerky but may be purchasing in bulk and simply packaging in their own bags.

Take a good look at our pictures. This is really what our Chicken Jerky looks like. In fact, our Jerky looks and smells so appetizing that when we’re at non-dog events like craft shows and have it sitting on platters so people can touch and smell it, it’s very often mistaken for human food samples and people try to eat it before we can stop them!

Most Chicken Jerkies are cut by machines that make long, narrow, thick strips of chicken that are dehydrated. The finished dehydrated jerky tends to be rock-hard. Many Pet Parents have observed these types of jerkies tend to splinter and produce sharp edges. The concern is these pieces can become choking hazards and/or irritate intestines. This is why we hand cut our Chicken Jerky.

We wanted to make a product we felt comfortable giving our furbabies and yours. We hand cut our chicken breasts into wide, thin pieces (not possible with machines) that wind up being softer and chewier.

Also, because our pieces are thinner, if you ever want them even softer, you can simply moisten them with a bit of water and they will rehydrate quickly. We've found that rock-hard jerkies don't rehydrate well because of their thickness.

Because we use No Preservatives whatsoever, your TriPom Chews Chicken Jerky needs to be refrigerated to preserve it and maintain its freshness for your furbabies. We are the only treat we know of which is kept in either the refrigerators or freezers of retailers.

Note: The time your package spends in transit is completely fine. Keeping your TriPom Chews in your refrigerator simply extends the shelf life to 3-6 months and helps maintain that fresh chicken smell for your pooches.
