With fall here, hunting season is upon us. With being married to an avid outdoorsman, I find myself trying lots of new recipes. This time, it was a little different. Instead of making a meal for us, I used some of his harvest to make dog treats! Duck and geese feet are great treats for dogs as their bones don’t splinter (since they aren’t cooked) and they’re full of beneficial cartilage. Dehydrated Duck Feet 1. Remove duck feet from the body, I use game shears 2. Clip off the nails as they can be long and sharp, I use the game shears for this also 3. Wash feet thoroughly. (The feet can be fed at this point to your furry friend, or you can dehydrate so they last longer). 4. Pat dry and arrange on dehydrator trays. 5. Dehydrate at 165 degrees Fahrenheit until dried 6. Store in an airtight container Clip the toe nails off I made some dehydrated duck feet as Christmas gifts last year for some four-legged family members and friends. My taste tester dogs were all shapes and sizes from a Rat terrier-Chihuahua to a Coonhound-Lab. Most of the dogs didn’t quite know what to do at first with the duck foot, but once they bit in, they all enjoyed them! Dehydrated duck feet are a treat your dog is sure to love!
Try them out and let me know what your dog thought of them! Wanting to try more wild game dog treat recipes? Check out this article from the Nebraskaland Magazine:
