5 Reasons to Feed Pig Trotter
Can my dog eat Pig Trotter?
It’s rare that dogs cannot consume pig trotters. However, it is a fattier bone-in chew and can be easy to overfeed. Be sure to introduce in short sessions. If your dog is a gulper, they must learn how to properly chew bone-in foods to avoid swallowing too quickly and regurgitating this food. Senior dogs with poor dental health may have trouble with these as well, but you can soften these chews by soaking in warm water before feeding.
Why should I feed Pig Trotter?
Pig trotter is a great source of protein, calcium, and collagen. They are great bone-in chews to help keep your dog’s teeth clean!
