Feeding LGD's chicken feet.

[Stubbornhillfarm]

I will spare you all the details. However, we now have 36 chicken feet from 4 week old chickens. We saved them along with the breasts, liver and hearts as we are getting our LGD pups this weekend and figured that we would salvage what we could and feed it to the pups.

Can any of you tell me if you feed your LGD's chicken feet and help me with the following (keep in mind the chicken feet are small only 4 weeks old);

Do you remove the skin?

Do you remove the nails?

Do you cook/boil?

The pups have already been eating on meat bones at this point. Thanks a bunch!

You remove the skin, and boil. This is how you eat it for humans tho, so for LGD's just boiling them should be fine I would presume.

Remove the nails too. I know you do that for human consumption too. Never ate them myself (nor do I think I would) but saw them on Chopped before and they talked about the nails needing to be removed.

This is for animal consumtion.
Simply remove from bag, place in bowl, serve!
You do not cook meat or bones for the pups. Doing so changes the molecular structure leading to brittle bones. A reason why chicken bones are safe raw but deadly cooked. There is no need to clip or peel. Just wash/rinse to remove soil and feces. Give organs very sparingly! To much can easily upset their stomach.

X2. Dogs can eat raw bones but NOT cooked ones!


I just chop off the feet and throw 'em to the dogs!

OK. Thanks all for your replies! I thought especially since they are very young chicken feet that they would be fine like that. But I wanted to be sure as I have never done this before, but hated to waste anything that could be used!

I appreciate all your responses. Have a great day!

You never cook bone for animals!

I feed my dogs whole feet, just cut them off the bird or rabbit and feed whole, with skin, nails, feathers or fur.

Just don't feed all of them at once. I use them as snacks or one foot in with other food for a small dog, 2 feet for a larger dog.

crazyland and secuono are CORRECT.
