seeh2o Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My dogs love raw chicken feet. They've never had the big D from them, but one of Ed's Boston Terriers did when I gave him one.

Remolacha Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Chicken paws are a big favorite here. Even the one who doesn't like chicken likes these no D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydyelady Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Chicken Feetsies!!!! I actually bought some today for Opie, because the store was all out of turkey necks. He's had them before and love them. So after his after-work walk today with DH, I had a nice feetsie waiting in the bowl for him when he came in. Was he ever excited!

Neighsayer Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My dogs get a raw foot for dessert twice a day. They all love them. Mickey got an extra one on his birthday on Sunday, Never a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh yeah ... Frozen feet are the bomb. Even tho the nails are soft, I do cut them off before serving. We've had no problems.

racindog Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've fed them. So far all dogs have liked them. Never any D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tiptons_Mom Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I feed my boys two everyday with dinner. They LOVE them. I give them frozen since they seem to last a few minutes longer that way. No soft serve here, actually I have noticed firmer poops since we made them a daily item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BrianRke Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 All of mine LOVE LOVE LOVE Chicky Feets!!!! I try to always have them on hand. I give them raw. I've heard its not a good idea to give them dehydrated ones because the bones become brittle. Someone correct me if Im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trihounds Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Regular chicken feet consumers here too. Our dogs are fed all raw, though, so this is one of the rotations of cartilage / bones and of course, they love them!

Guest LadyChester Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Those that feed chicken feetsies - do you feed them in the house or is it too messy, like marrow bones? Do most of you cut the nails? Also, where do you buy them? Edited April 12, 2012 by LadyChester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happygrey Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 We don't cut the nails. I haven't gotten them for the boys in a while, but they LOVE them. Our guys have never had GI issues after eating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoundHeavenAZ Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I try to always feed them outside and I do not trim the nails first. I do rinse and clean them before freezing them if they are fresh. We find them at our local grocery that caters to the Hispanic shoppers. They are also the only grocery here that has fresh beef hearts and they will order turkey or chicken necks for us - we love Food City. Good produce prices too and since I cook sweet potatoes and other veggies for the hounds it helps cut costs.

Those that feed chicken feetsies - do you feed them in the house or is it too messy, like marrow bones? Do most of you cut the nails? Also, where do you buy them? I used to feed them in the house, but I recently learned my lesson when one spurted some blood. So now they are given to the dogs when they're in crates eating on their rugs or on my deck. That's how they eat their regular raw meals. I've never had a big D issue with them, but again my dogs are raw fed. I do also use dehydrated ones that I buy online as treats - they're the perfect treat for an extra special reward when someone does a great recall - easy to carry, not messy, the right size and very high in value.

OwnedBySummer Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) I don't trim the nails and Summer likes them raw and defrosted best. She gets raw chicken or duck feet -- duck feet are easier for me to get as there is a huge commercial duck farm about 30 minutes from here. And nope, she's never reacted poorly to them. There was an earlier poster who said something about how they wish their pup wasn't sensitive to chicken -- I've "heard" that raw chicken is often a very different story and that many chicken-sensitive dogs have no problem with raw chicken. Here she is outside with a raw duck foot: And inside with a raw chicken foot: Edited April 12, 2012 by OwnedBySummer Quote Lisa B.

Guest JustGreyt05 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I bought some a few weeks ago. They've been in the freezer and I've been too nervous to feed him one. Hopefully they're still good because after reading this thread I think he'd love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
