Anco Naturals Giant Rabbit Stick Dog Treat – 100% Natural, Hypoallergenic Low-Cholesterol Chew

Anco Naturals Giant Rabbit Stick

The giant format of Anco's rabbit chew, long and durable enough for a large dog rather than the small rabbit pieces sold for terriers. Rabbit is the classic novel protein in this country — few dogs have met it in a complete food — which is why it turns up again and again in elimination diets and on the shelves of owners dealing with itchy skin.

Anco declare 49.4% protein, 28.3% fat and 2% crude ash. That fat figure matters: rabbit sticks are not a low-fat chew, despite the reputation rabbit has as a lean meat, and the store's earlier description of this as a low-cholesterol chew is not something Anco themselves publish. Anco do name vitamin B12 as the nutritional point of interest.
