my dogs including every other dog I've know loves hoof trimmings! I've never seen any problem with them. I've seen them eat alot worse so I dont think the trimmings would hurt them. My beagel is the same way. She won't eat treats or store bought bone except for a pigs ear every now and than, but she just can't pass up a tasty piece of hoof. oh, and ths occasional deer bone she finds in the woods. I know what your thinking gross huh? maybe it's the hound in her.
