Their longer shape and layered texture create a more engaging chewing experience, while the natural fur gives every piece a distinctive appearance and feel. Size, thickness and length will vary because these are genuine animal based treats rather than machine made products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwisted for More Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rabbit skin is twisted before dehydration, creating natural folds, layers and varying thicknesses. This gives dogs different textures to grip, pull and chew through. Rabbit skin twists are not extremely hard chews. Strong chewers may work through one relatively quickly, while smaller or more careful chewers may take longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Fur On Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fur is intentionally left on as a natural part of the rabbit skin. It provides natural fibre and bulk and creates an interesting texture for dogs that enjoy fur on treats. Rabbit fur is simply a natural source of fibre that may contribute to normal stool bulk as part of an appropriate and balanced diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Less Commonly Fed Protein\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRabbit is often described as a \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/novel-protein-dog-treats-australia-natural-guide-for-sensitive-dogs\"\u003enovel protein\u003c\/a\u003e because it is less frequently used in everyday dog food than chicken, beef or lamb.

The scent, fur and twisted texture can provide an engaging activity and a satisfying reward when the chew is selected appropriately for the dog and offered under supervision.

We have worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, dietary needs and chewing styles. That experience has taught us that no natural chew is right for every dog.

Introduce rabbit gradually when your dog has not eaten it before. Choose a twist that is appropriate for your dog's size, chewing ability and eating style. Treats should generally contribute no more than approximately 10% of your dog's daily energy intake. Adjust regular meals when necessary and always provide fresh drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant Safety Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways supervise your dog while they are eating a rabbit skin twist.

They provide a flexible, textured chewing experience and measure approximately 35 to 42 cm. Rabbit Feet are shorter and crunchier and contain the natural foot structure and small bones.

Because these twists measure approximately 35 to 42 cm, a small dog may take longer to work through one.

Cutting it into small pieces may make it easier for a dog to swallow a section without chewing properly.

A smaller or careful chewer may spend considerable time working through the 35 to 42 cm twist, while a powerful or determined chewer may consume it much more quickly.
