Cow hoofs are regularly marketed as dog chews - see https://www.chewy.com/bones-chews-cow-ho.../dp/183938

I imagine deer hoofs (hooves) are okay for them to eat. It’s probably just collagen. Might even be good for them. It seems like a natural part of their diet.

I think the major concern was whether Corbu swallowed it largely intact.  But we weren't there as witnesses, and I don't know how much Mitch saw.  I'm assuming given enough time without a problem, it breaks down.

On a largely irrelevant sidenote, I remember seeing on nature shows how calves, colts, or fawns are born, how the hooves are encased in a membranous sac that protects the mother.
