Anco Naturals Duck Necks for Dogs – 100% Natural Dental & Joint Support Treat

Anco Naturals Duck Neck – Single Chew

A duck neck is sold singly and is one of the few Anco chews where the dog is working through soft edible bone rather than skin or cartilage. The vertebrae are small and porous, so they crush instead of shattering, and the neck bends as the dog turns it — which is why the whole thing acts as a scrubbing brush across the back teeth.

Anco declare 42.8% protein and 18.4% crude ash, that ash figure reflecting how much of the neck is bone. Fat sits at 16.6%, moderate for the range, and duck gives a single animal protein for dogs that have run out of road with chicken.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% duck, air-dried, with no colours, added salt or added sugar.
• Edible bone structure that helps lift tartar as the dog chews through it.
• Naturally contains glucosamine and chondroitin from the joints between the vertebrae.
• Omega-rich skin and fat left on the neck, which is what makes it palatable.
• Hypoallergenic single protein, grain and gluten free.
• Sold as one neck, so it suits an occasional chew rather than a daily habit.

Suitable For

• Medium and large dogs that can manage a whole neck in one sitting.
• Dogs on a single-protein elimination trial away from chicken or beef.
• Owners wanting a natural dental chew rather than a shaped dental stick.
• Too large and too rich for a very small dog in one go — the Anco Naturals Porky Bites 250g break into smaller pieces for toy breeds.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, to be used as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• One neck at a time, and take the day's main meal down to allow for it.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.
