toe nail clippings

[gravitate]

my puppy loves to eat them. Why?

No idea why they do it gravy, but loads of them do, i presume you mean after you have clipped the dogs nails? or are you cutting yours and feeding them to the dog? either way lots of dogs will eat them, never tried to eat them myself. give it a go and let us know how you get on, you can eat the dogs and the dog can eat yours.

Full of calcium ..... and if you live near any horses and spot the farriers showing them at some time, stop and ask for some hoof clippings..... your puppy will be your best friend forever then. My dogs have always been around my horses and the only time a fight has broken out is over the last bit of hoof trimming at shoeing time. It's the same principle with dogs gnawing on bones, although not all bones are safe for dogs as I am sure you are aware. Hope that helps.

Well, I never thought a Gravitate joke thread would actually turn out to warrant real, serious answers! Thanks, people.

My neighbours Dog,a Schnauzer, loves to lick my bare feet.
They say it's because naked male human feet smell like a Bitch in heat. Can this be true ?

Nails are mainly keratin which is full of protein.

brionon, I wouldn't go'n visit gravitate with your feet if I was you, gawd knows what would happen!
