Can dogs eat Rabbit tails?

Overview

Caution. Rabbit tails are generally safe for dogs to chew on and are highly digestible. However, they should be offered in moderation. The fur acts as a natural source of fiber, which can support digestive health, but too much may cause minor digestive upset in some dogs.

Benefits

Rabbit tails can be good digestible chew treats for dogs.
The hair on rabbit tails can add fiber to your dog's diet. Fiber aids in proper digestion and can cleanse the gut.

Risks

Dogs that are not on a raw food diet might have trouble digesting rabbit tails with fur on. Eating rabbit tails might cause intestinal tract blockage, especially for small dogs.
If your dog has eaten a rabbit he found in the wild, he might potentially get infected by worms. You should take him to the vet; a deworming treatment may be given.

Servings

Rabbit tails can be used as occasional treats, not dietary supplements.
Raw feeders feed rabbit tails to dogs as raw treats. When feeding raw animal parts to dogs, strict hygiene measures should be carried out to prevent contamination.
