Chicken feet contain high concentrations of glucosamine and chondroitin, which are commonly found in doggie joint supplements. These provide the building blocks for joint cartilage, and therefore help improve overall joint health for arthritic dogs, or dogs with joint conditions such as hip dysplasia. So, if you are looking for a natural alternative to joint supplements, it’s worth giving chicken feet a go! It’s been suggested that each foot is packed with approximately 450mg of glucosamine. In comparison to an average joint supplement, that’s a daily dose for a medium-sized dog!
Chicken feet are also fantastic for your pups teeth. The soft bane and nails are an alternative to traditional bones and gives your pup…. what they love the most, more chicken. The crunching action through the feet helps to clean the teeth. This is due to the mild abrasion it on the teeth helps remove plaque. We don’t advocate using this as the soul teeth cleaning method, however, small alternates to maintain your pups teeth has to be good.
