Have fed Rio raw for last couple of days got a couple of trotters just thought they might be nicer roasted.
But will it make the bones in it brittle??

I would not feed cooked pigs trotters to dogs, mine are very happy with them raw and so am I.

Raw all the way!!!

I got roasted ones years ago and they made a right mess in the house and they absolutely blooming stunk!

If you have only fed raw for the past couple of days, I wouldn't be giving trotters just yet. Although certainly raw when you do!

Mine don't like them
We butchered a couple of pigs last year and there was only 1 dog would eat them. A quick zap to blister the skin made them go down better.
I have very strange dogs

Definitely raw!!!!!

You could give it raw and let him have it for a limited amount of time, say 10 mins or so for the first time, then pop it in a carrier bag and stick in the freezer for use on another day

If you are starting out with trotters - you might use a cleaver to split the trotter a bit.

This is to allow your dog to get a good purchase on the trotter to start with - this is one cut of meat that is easier if the dog has a dew claw to hold the trotter while pulling off the meat with their front teeth.

If the toe nail is intact you might remove it - mine eat them as is now.

Raw of course.
