Durham's Dried Goose Feet – The Crunchy, Nutrient-Dense Dental Chew
Our Durhams Dried Goose Feet are a premium addition to any dog’s raw food regime. Larger and more substantial than standard chicken feet, goose feet offer a longer-lasting chew that provides both mental stimulation and significant physical health benefits. These are 100% natural, consisting of bone, skin, and cartilage, which are essential components of a biologically appropriate raw diet.
Natural Joint Support & Dental Hygiene
Goose feet are a rich, natural source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, the building blocks of healthy joints. Regular feeding can help maintain flexibility and reduce inflammation in dogs of all ages. Furthermore, the act of crunching through the small bones and connective tissue acts as a natural toothbrush, cleaning the teeth and massaging the gums to promote excellent oral health without the need for artificial dental sticks.
Why Choose Goose Feet Over Other Poultry?
- Novel Protein Source: Goose is often better tolerated by dogs with sensitivities to more common proteins like chicken or beef.
- Rich in Healthy Fats: Provides a boost of energy and supports a glossy, healthy coat.
- Safe Bone Content: When fed raw and frozen, the bones are soft and fully digestible, providing a safe source of calcium and phosphorus.
- Ethical & British: Sourced by Durham Animal Feeds to ensure the highest standards of quality and freshness.
Storage & Feeding Guidelines:
Keep frozen until ready to use. You can feed goose feet directly from the freezer for a cooling, crunchy treat or defrost them in the fridge as part of a balanced meal. Always supervise your pet when feeding bone-in treats and ensure fresh water is always available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are raw goose feet safe for dogs?
Yes, raw poultry feet are completely safe for dogs. Unlike cooked bones, which become brittle and splinter, raw bones are soft, flexible, and fully digestible.
At what age can puppies have goose feet?
Puppies can be introduced to raw goose feet from roughly 10-12 weeks of age, once they are comfortable with raw food. They are excellent for soothing gums during teething.
How many goose feet should I feed?
Goose feet should be fed as a treat or as part of the 10% bone requirement in a BARF diet. For medium dogs, 2-3 per week is a common addition.
Can I cook these goose feet?
No. You must never cook goose feet (or any bone-in product) as the heat causes the bone structure to change, making it dangerous for your dog to swallow.
