Have you ever wondered whether it's okay for your dog to eat feathers? Here you can find out whether it's okay and what you should bear in mind.

Are feathers dangerous for your dog?

In principle, it is not dangerous for your dog to eat feathers. Feathers consist of protein and are therefore not harmful to dogs. However, there are a few things you should be aware of.

  • Firstly, you should pay attention to the type of feathers. Feathers from wild birds can contain parasites or diseases that can be dangerous for your dog.
  • Secondly, eating feathers can cause constipation in some dogs. Since feathers are difficult to digest, they can get stuck in your dog and cause discomfort.
  • Thirdly, you should also pay attention to the amount your dog eats. If your dog eats too many feathers, it can cause constipation or even dangerous stomach injuries.

If your dog eats a lot of feathers, you should definitely take him to the vet.

 

To summarize, it's okay if your dog eats feathers as long as you pay attention to the type of feathers, the amount and possible symptoms. Always remember that every dog is different and it is therefore possible that your dog does not tolerate feathers well.
