1. Fur cleans your dog’s teeth
When dogs chew on a furry treat, this creates a rubbing movement against their teeth. This works to prevent a build-up of plaque and removes food. Fur is so fine it can even get in between the teeth where commercial dog chews struggle. Fur is a brilliant natural dental floss for your dog.
2. Fur helps to express anal glands
There are easy ways and hard ways to express anal glands. The hard way is doing it yourself or taking your dog to the vet. The easy way is to give your dog plenty of fibre in their diet. Lovely firm stools press on a dog’s anal glands and express them naturally and regularly. So, if your dog has a problem with their glands, try furry rabbits ears.
3. Fur is a natural de-wormer
Some fur dog treats, e.g., rabbit ears, work to de-worm your dog naturally. It’s that brush action we were talking about. Fur picks up worms and eggs that can stick in the gut and removes them safely. So, no more expensive trips to the vet for de-worming tablets. Let nature help to keep your dog healthy and provide a tasty treat at the same time.
4. Fur firms up stools
Picking up dog poo is sometimes unpleasant, especially if your dog has an upset tummy. The fur helps to bulk up stools as they pass through the digestive tract. You can see them in the poo! Dog poos become firm, solid, and (we won’t say a joy) but much easier to pick up.
5. Fur dog treats help with digestion
The fur cleans your dog’s digestive tract. It’s a bit like brushing your teeth. The fibers grab onto and brush away undigested food that may have become lodged or trapped in the gut. This cleans the gut, allowing the digestive system to digest more nutrients.
