Anco Naturals Giant Camel Braid Dog Treat – 100% Natural, High-Protein Long-Lasting Chew

Anco Naturals Giant Camel Braid – 40–50cm

Camel skin plaited into a 40–50cm braid, and by Anco's own account the most durable protein they braid — their line is that camel beats other proteins as the longest-lasting chew. In practice it dries harder and fibres more tightly than beef or buffalo, so a dog that finishes a beef braid in an evening will usually still be working on this one the next day.

It also carries the highest declared protein of anything in this listing at 82%, against 8% fat and just 2% crude ash. That combination — very high protein, low fat, very little ash — is unusual, and it is the reason camel gets recommended for dogs that need extra protein without extra fat.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% camel, air-dried and plaited into a long rope.
• 82% protein, the highest declared figure in the Anco giant range.
• 8% fat and 2% crude ash, so very little of it is anything but protein.
• Anco rate camel as their most durable and longest-lasting chew material.
• Plaited construction resists a crushing bite from a powerful jaw.
• Approximately 40–50cm, sold singly.

Suitable For

• Power chewers that destroy beef and buffalo braids quickly.
• Dogs needing more dietary protein without the fat that usually comes with it.
• Dogs on an exotic-protein diet where beef, chicken, lamb and pork are all excluded.
• Jaw strength and mental stimulation for a large working breed.
• Too hard and too long for a small or elderly dog — the Anco Naturals Moon Bones give a softer cartilage chew instead.

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.
• One braid at a time, with the main meal reduced to allow for it.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Care & Caution

• Anco specify supervision at all times while the dog is consuming this chew.
