Can dogs eat Kangaroo tail?

Overview

Can dogs eat kangaroo tail? Yes, kangaroo tail promotes good dental hygiene in dogs. Chewing on the tail gets rid of plaque and tartar in the teeth. Monitor dogs, especially small breeds, while they chew on kangaroo tails since these are a choking hazard.

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.
