The growths on the insides of a horse's legs are called chestnuts. They are what remain from the ancient horse's multiple toes. They do grow and you can peel them off; they don't hurt
Squirrels are known to eat horse chestnuts, also known as conkers. They are attracted to the nuts within the spiky outer shell, which they will feed on if no other food sources are readily available.
Horse chestnuts are not safe for human consumption, as they contain a toxic compound called esculin. Consuming horse chestnuts can cause nausea, vomiting, and other serious health issues. It is important to avoid eating them.
Roasted chestnuts are safe for dogs in moderation, as long as they are plain and not seasoned with any harmful ingredients like garlic or onion. Make sure to remove the shell before giving them to your dog, as the shells can be a choking hazard. It's always best to consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your dog's diet.
Conkers are the hard, shiny seeds found inside the spiky green shells of horse chestnuts. Horse chestnuts are the trees that produce these seeds, while the term "conkers" specifically refers to the seeds themselves. Horse chestnuts are not edible for humans, while conkers are often used in the traditional children's game of conkers.

When raw, Water Chestnuts are dangerous due to Fasciolopsiasis that can be found on the surface of the plant and therefore get into the product. When cooked, Water Chestnuts are fine. They act as ruffage and do not digest at all, therefore, chopped up or minced is better than sliced disks (as found in most cans). At the end of the day, I'd recommend to just stay away from them. If you want to give your dog ruffage, give them carrots. Our 2 Yorkies and 2 Maltese like carrots as treats.
