Question

Is it ok to give jasper cow hooves to chew on? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 7 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Cow hooves are not really recommended. The reason is that they are very hard and many dogs tend to break their teeth on them. That being said, many people do give them to their dogs with no issues. I gave them to my dogs. So, it is completely up to you. If you do decide to give them to him, I suggest you only give them while you are supervising him. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
