Rabbit Feet Dog Treats: Weird for Us, Wonderful for Dogs

We get it, rabbit feet dog treats look a little unusual. They’re furry. They’ve got bones. They don’t look like your average packet-store chew. But here’s the thing: for dogs, they’re one of the most natural and beneficial treats you can give. Let’s bust some myths and explain why rabbit feet are safe, sustainable, and seriously good for your dog.

Are Rabbit Feet Safe for Dogs?

Short answer: yes! when they’re dried properly.

Cooked bones are the risky ones. When you heat bones at high temperatures, they become brittle and splinter. That’s why vets say “no cooked bones.”

But air-dried bones are different. Our rabbit feet are slowly air-dried, which keeps them safe and chewable. The drying process changes the protein structure slightly (from raw to lightly dried), but it doesn’t make the bone brittle or dangerous.

👉 The golden rule? Always supervise your dog when chewing bones, no matter the type.

Why Do Rabbit Feet Have Fur?

The fur isn’t just there for shock value, it’s actually good for your dog.

In the wild, dogs and their ancestors would eat prey fur and all. That fur acts like a natural fibre: it sweeps through the digestive tract, bulks up stools, and supports overall gut health. Many raw feeders even use furry treats as a natural way to help keep worms at bay.

So yes, it looks weird, but it’s basically nature’s broom for your dog’s tummy.

Where Do Rabbit Feet Treats Come From?

Not all treats are created equal, and transparency matters.

Our rabbit feet come from wild rabbits in Victoria, collected from private properties where rabbits are a declared pest species. Rabbits cause enormous environmental damage, and landholders are legally required to control them.

We don’t use bait, toxins, or dodgy methods, just responsible sourcing that turns a pest problem into a safe, natural dog treat.

What Are the Benefits of Rabbit Feet for Dogs?

Rabbit feet aren’t just safe they pack a whole lot of benefits into one small treat:

• 🐾 Mental stimulation chewing something a bit different keeps dogs engaged.

• 🦷 Dental health – gnawing on fur and bone helps scrape away plaque naturally.

• 🌿 Digestive support  that fibre-rich fur aids digestion and firms stools.

• 🚫 A rawhide alternative – unlike rawhide (which is chemically treated and not digestible), rabbit feet are all-natural and fully digestible.

The Bottom Line

Rabbit feet dog treats might look a little wild to us humans, but they’re one of the most natural, safe, and beneficial chews you can offer your dog. They support gut health, help keep teeth clean, and provide mental stimulation all while being sustainably sourced right here in Victoria.
