Anco Naturals Chicken Feet 100g

Anco Naturals Chicken Feet – 100g

Chicken feet are almost entirely skin, cartilage and small bones, which is why they are the go-to natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin. Anco air-dry them whole with the claws left on, and declare 48.2% protein against 34.3% fat.

That fat figure is the thing to notice. These are a rich treat, not an everyday one, and the 100g bag is the right size to keep them occasional. They crunch up completely, which is what makes them useful against tartar, and most dogs eat one in under a minute.
