Anco Burns Hot Dog Sticks Natural Dog Treat

Anco Burns Hot Dog Sticks

The Hot Dog is the mildest of the Burns sausage sticks — turkey and chicken rather than beef, which gives it a lighter smell and a paler colour than the black pudding or the salami. It is still 100% meat, with no biscuit or cereal used to pad it out, and it holds its sausage shape well enough to be pocketed and broken up on a walk.

Poultry suits dogs that do not get on with red meat, and at 33.1% protein this sits between the pizza round and the black pudding stick. Anco supply it to shops in fifty-piece counter tubs; here it is sold as a single stick.

Performance & Benefits

• Made with 100% meat: turkey, chicken and meat product.
• Gluten free, with no biscuit or cereal ingredients and no artificial flavourings.
• Poultry-based, so it is an option for dogs that do badly on beef and lamb.
• 33.1% protein and 26.8% fat — a lighter stick than the black pudding.
• Firm sausage texture that snaps rather than crumbles, so a pocketful does not turn to dust.
• Bought singly, which makes it easy to rotate flavours without committing to a box.

Suitable For

• Puppies from eight weeks and adult dogs alike.
• Dogs on a poultry diet or avoiding beef.
• Everyday training where a milder-smelling treat is preferred indoors.
• Gluten-free and cereal-free feeding regimes.
• Not suitable for a dog with a chicken or turkey intolerance — the Anco Burns Black Pudding Sticks are beef-based and a better fit there.

Feeding

• Complementary pet food for dogs; use only as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Feed as a treat or reward only, adjusting the main meal to suit.
• Suitable from eight weeks of age.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.
