Yes. Dried duck feet is a safe and nutritious snack for dogs. With its long-lasting chew, it doubles as a natural toothbrush that removes plaques. Senior dogs can benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin to improve joint health and mobility.

Benefits

health-benefits
  • Dried duck feet refer to the whole feet—skin, bone, and tendons included—that have been dehydrated to make nutritious chew treats for dogs.
  • Dried duck feet are a natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin, which help to lubricate the joints, improve movement, and regenerate cartilage. Older dogs or those with osteoarthritis may benefit from eating dried duck feet.
  • The dried duck feet are tough and chewy and can be used to brush teeth naturally. Chewing can help remove soft plaque and rub the gums in the process which helps improve oral hygiene.
