Anco Naturals Giant Beef Stick Dog Treat – 100% Beef, High-Protein Low-Fat Chew

Anco Naturals Giant Beef Stick – 40–50cm

Where the braid is plaited, the Giant Beef Stick is a single rolled length of dried beef skin, 40–50cm long and noticeably tougher in the hand. Anco describe the texture as slightly tougher than their other giant formats, and that is the point: a strong chewer gets grip on it rather than crushing it flat.

Beef skin is naturally very lean, and Anco's figure of 6% fat against 65.8% protein is the lowest fat of any chew in this listing. That makes it one of the few long-lasting chews that can reasonably be offered to a dog kept deliberately lean or managed for pancreatitis.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% beef skin, air-dried into a single long stick.
• Only 6% fat — the leanest of the Anco giant chews.
• 65.8% protein, supporting muscle maintenance rather than adding fat.
• Tougher texture than the braids, which suits determined chewers.
• Approximately 40–50cm, giving a long session from one piece.
• No added colours, salt or sugar; grain and gluten free.

Suitable For

• Strong chewers that shred softer treats in seconds.
• Dogs on restricted-fat diets, including those Anco name as pancreatitis cases.
• Large breeds needing a chew proportionate to their jaw.
• Dogs that get bored of soft, quickly finished treats.
• Not the right texture for an old dog with worn or missing teeth — the Anco Naturals Lamb Horn Marrow is the softer crunch for those.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, fed as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• Offer one stick and remove it when the dog loses interest, rather than leaving it down.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: 100% beef skin.
• Analytical constituents: protein 65.8%, fat 6%, crude ash 4.36%.

Care & Caution

• Anco specify supervision at all times while the dog is chewing.

• Remove and discard the final piece once it is short enough to swallow whole.
