Anco Naturals Chicken Feet Dog Treat – Single

Anco Naturals Chicken Foot – Single

Sold one foot at a time, this is the smallest way to buy into Anco’s chicken feet. The foot itself is identical to the ones in the bags — air-dried whole, claws on, 48.2% protein and 34.3% fat — it is only the quantity that differs.

A single foot is the sensible way to find out whether your dog will take one at all, and whether the bones agree with them, before committing to a 100g pouch or a kilo bag. It is also a useful size for handing out one crunchy treat without opening anything.
