Mixed Tocopherol in Dog Treats

by Debra U.

I understand the benefits of using a natural preservative like mixed tocopherol, but how much do you typically add to a recipe? I have all these great recipes, but I don't know how much to add to help extend the shelf life. Are there any guidelines you can share with me?

The first Q & A is about using mixed tocopherols in homemade dog treats.

The second one is specifically about liver dog treats, but it has a lot of other information regarding keeping dog treats fresh and extending their shelf life.

Let me know if you still have questions.
