Furry dog treats explained: Gut Health, dental care & more

Furry dog treats might look a little unusual at first, but they’re one of the most natural and beneficial chews you can offer your pup. From supporting digestion to keeping teeth clean, these treats do more than just keep tails wagging.

What Are Furry Dog Treats?

Furry dog treats are chews that still have the fur or hair attached - think cow ears, kangaroo feet, goat tails or rabbit skin. They’re gently air-dried, contain no preservatives or fillers, and are as close to nature as it gets.

The Health Benefits of Furry Treats

Gut Health Support
The natural fibre in the fur acts like a gentle brush through your dog’s digestive system. It helps sweep away build-up, supports healthy stools and can even assist in reducing the risk of worms.

Dental Hygiene
The texture of furry treats encourages chewing, which naturally scrapes teeth and massages gums. It’s a tasty way to help keep your dog’s smile clean.

Enrichment & Satisfaction
The unusual feel of fur makes these chews extra engaging. They take longer to finish, keeping dogs mentally stimulated and satisfied.

Natural Fibre Boost
Unlike processed dental chews, furry treats provide real, functional fibre. It’s a simple way to add variety to your dog’s diet.

Are Furry Treats Safe for Dogs?

Yes, when sourced from trusted suppliers, furry chews are safe for most dogs. As with any treat:

  • Choose the right size for your pup
  • Supervise chewing time
  • Introduce them slowly if your dog has a sensitive stomach

Which Dogs Benefit Most?

Furry treats are especially good for:

  • Dogs on raw or natural diets
  • Pups who need extra fibre
  • Chewers that get bored easily
  • Dogs prone to digestive issues
