Can dogs eat Kangaroo tail?
Benefits
- Kangaroo tail is a great chew for dogs as it helps improve their dental hygiene.
- Kangaroo tail is rich in vitamin B12 and zinc, which help strengthen muscles and boost the immune system.
Risks
- Kangaroo tail bones could cause choking, especially in small dogs.
- Cooked bones may splinter into shards which can injure the dog's mouth, throat, or intestines.
Servings
- Raw feeders give kangaroo tails to their dogs raw, as the bones are soft enough to chew.
- If you wish to cook the kangaroo tail, you can boil it without seasoning. It's safer to strip the meat off. Always safely discard the cooked bones as they can splinter into shards in their mouth.
- Dried kangaroo tail treats are a better option than cooked tails because they are dehydrated at low temperatures, so the bones break the same way as raw bones do and don't splinter.
