Chicklet, hi. I'd like to know what problems you've observed about dogs eating fur. I don't know of any. Any dog /wolf/coyote in the wild would certainly eat the fur, so I'd like to hear your take on that.

Thanks
Merlin
I always threw my left overs after skinning a rabbit to my big dogs,
If there was a lot I had to do then I’d freeze the extra and feed later on.
Figured it would be good for them, like in the wild,
They were use to getting a lot of different types of meats after butchering anyways.
And I never had a problem with any of them that I can recollect.

But then I started noticing different ones throwing the Rabbit all back up,
One especially (Lola a Big Bull Mastiff) got so sick I had to take her to the vets,
So I did the elimination thingy and it turned out the fur was the culprit.
Because of this I Stopped giving the fur and the problem ceased in all of them,
I have wondered tho,
Home rabbits tend to have thicker coats then the wild ones,
Maybe that somehow had something to do with it,

Anyways That’s why I mentioned not givin it.
But each dog is different, maybe hers will be fine with it.
