www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-12-21-can-you-feed-chestnuts-to-your-petsStory at-a-glance The most notable benefit of chestnuts lies in their rich antioxidant profile. Studies show the antioxidant content of chestnuts is higher than that of many other food crops Chestnuts are a good source of antioxidants, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carotenoids and phenolic compounds such as gallic and ellagic acids Chestnuts contain betaine, a compound that acts as an osmolyte, facilitating water uptake and retention to protect the cell structure from damage, particularly in the kidneys and the gut Chop, crush or mash chestnuts before serving them to your pet to avoid any choking risk. You can use them as an ingredient in your pet's nutritionally balanced, homemade meal or training treat, or as a food topper My notes: Have you given your pet chestnuts? What did they think of it? I have never tried it as I don't care for them myself. Members may like this thread I had: Roasting Chestnuts

Don't like them myself. Never thought to give to our pets.
