How to Dehydrate Pork Skins in a Microwave for Dogs

Dogs love pork skins. And that goes double for dehydrated pork skins. Not only is it a tasty treat, but it is also something to gnaw---which dogs need. Dehydrated pork skins can easily be found at your local pet store. But, it is just as easy to make them at home in the microwave. However, because a microwave does not allow any moisture to escape, the pork skins will not become fully dehydrated like the ones in the store. For added crisp, pop them in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and leave the door ajar so that moisture can escape.
