Oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes employs a catalyst, usually a mixed metal oxide, to convert, in the presence of oxygen, a lower alkane into its corresponding alkene. Continuous operation of an oxidative dehydrogenation process may result in a gradual decrease of catalyst activity and or selection, requiring downtime for regeneration. Provided herein is a process for regeneration of an oxidative dehydrogenation catalyst including initiating regeneration by passing a regeneration gas over the catalyst, monitoring regeneration by comparing the oxygen concentration of the regeneration gas before and after being passed over the catalyst, and ceasing regeneration when the oxygen concentration of the regeneration gas after passed over the catalyst is at least 90% of the concentration of the regeneration gas before being passed over the catalyst.
