Horse hooves

[Oceans11]

After the ferrier has been out to tend to our horses’ feet, there are shavings of horse hoof around which our Coton De Tulear loves to chew. Does anyone know if this is a “safe” treat for him to chew?

If you don’t use anything on your horses’ feet, they are safe. If you use much of anything on them, they are not.

Thank you theBCnut for your reply. Our mustangs’ hooves are all natural.

My dogs eat my horses’ all natural hoof trimmimgs too.

Please explain how to make the horse hoof dish for my dog??

I am not aware of a dish made from horse hoofs. I give some of the trimmings of the horse’s hoof to my dog as a chew. The trimmings are what’s left after the derrière trims their hooves. As someone responded to my earlier post, only offer them if there if they have not been treated with anything.
