Why feed rabbit ears to dogs?
Quick Summary
Feeding rabbit ears to dogs improves their digestive health, natural parasite control, and dental hygiene. The undigestible fur on the ears acts as a physical sweep through the digestive tract, clearing away food residue build-up. This brushing action also helps remove intestinal worms and eggs naturally, reducing the need for chemical worming treatments. Additionally, the abrasive texture of the fur gently rubs away surface plaque from the teeth and gums. Regular feeding of these natural treats maintains clean intestines and supports overall canine wellness.
The fur covering the rabbit ears is a good source of fibre – this aids good digestive health…
As fur is undigestible, it basically brushes its way through the digestive tract and helps to clear away food residue which can build up over time. This build-up can cause a sluggish digestive system,.
The ‘brushing’ action of the fur also acts as a natural protection against worms by brushing away worms and eggs in the digestive system. To achieve optimum protection, it’s advised to feed regularly. PLUS it helps negate the need for harsh worming tablets if you combine natural wormers such as these with a worm count test twice a year.
The fur also aids in cleaning teeth as it rubs a little of the surface plaque off the gums and between the teeth.
