Pigs trotters??

My butchers just given me some in the bag of scraps he saves for me and Bailey hasn't eaten his Unbelievable - he eats everything !!! and Kiara munched away then promptly threw it all up all over the kitchen floor

Guess I won' be getting anymore of them

Are they any good for dogs??? Is it something they usually should be a able to eat ??

Rupert was a little confused by his at first but since the first one he's been more than happy to eat them.

Ranger is exactly the same lol. He wanders about the house with it whimpering and then goes and finds a corner to stash it in. Tried him twice now, the first time he ended up burying it in the garden!! Not willing to try a third time, it'll just have to be the one thing he wont eat

Cain loves them, keeps him quiet for 20 mins or so. He has no problem eating them at all, they are quite boney though so he ends up doing several white poos the next day

Jess and Harley both went off them after I'd bought a fair few of them They just point blank refused to eat them, so I've just stopped getting them. They used to like them though.

Mine love them. I used to get them free off the butcher, then he stopped giving them me so the dogs didnt have them for ages, now he gives me them free again.

It takes them quite a while to eat them, Jessie will take up to 3 hours to eat hers. She gives me this look when I give them to her as if to say "you are joking, give me something easier to eat!"

As already been mentioned, they can give dogs quite hard poos the following day. When my ex gave his dog one for the first time, she struggled for 2 days to have a poo, she was really constipated.
