The Benefits of Pheasant Feet for Dogs

Freeze-dried pheasant feet might not sound like a tasty treat, but for dogs they are a delicious and healthy snack. Intriguing? Well, let’s dig our toes in a little deeper and learn what benefits pheasant feet can provide for your dog.

Hip & Joint Benefits of Pheasant Feet for Dogs

Pheasant feet are a great natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin.

  • Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound that is found in higher amounts in healthy cartilage. It helps to repair body tissues which can be especially beneficial for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or spinal disc injuries. It is also great for preventative maintenance. 
  • Chondroitin is found in cartilage and promotes water retention and elasticity in the tissue. By doing so, it helps to ensure proper shock absorption and nourishment of cartilage.

Glucosamine and chondroitin work as a team to build and protect healthy or damaged tissue. Together, this dynamic duo can provide benefits to your dog’s bones, joints, cartilage, and connective tissue. They can also help to ease recovery from certain surgeries.

Dental Benefits of Pheasant Feet for Dogs

Our freeze-dried pheasant feet not only offer internal benefits for your hard-working dog, but they also help keep their dental health. When your dog chews on them, they act like a toothbrush by naturally removing plaque and improving gum health. While some dogs don’t mind a good tooth brushing, some do. If your dog is not a fan, pheasant feet are a great alternative. 

Dental disease happens to be the most common disease in dogs. It affects 76% of all canines in the U.S. every year. Without dental care, your dog can face not only bad breath but an increased risk of heart, liver, and/or kidney problems.

More Details & Where to Purchase

Freeze-dried pheasant feet are 100% healthy and safe for your dog to digest and break down easily due to their small size. Your dog will also love chomping on their crunchy texture which can be a nice change of pace from the common dog biscuit.
