Anco Naturals Hairy Rabbit Ears

Anco Naturals Hairy Rabbit Ears – 100g

Rabbit ears dried with the fur still attached, sold loose by weight in a 100g bag. They are the smallest of Anco's hairy chews — a rabbit ear is a fraction of the size of a cow ear — which makes them the practical hairy option for a small dog, or a short chew for a larger one that would swallow a cow ear whole.

Anco declare 46.6% protein, 33.1% fat and 2% crude ash. Rabbit gives a single animal protein most dogs have never eaten, and the fur passing through undigested is the reason hairy ears are traditionally fed for intestinal roughage.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% rabbit, air-dried with the fur left on.
• Fur acts as natural roughage through the digestive tract.
• Hypoallergenic novel protein, useful for dogs with sensitive stomachs.
• Small enough to suit terriers and toy breeds as a whole chew.
• Grain and gluten free, with no added colours, salt or sugar.
• Supplied loose in a 100g bag rather than a fixed count.

Suitable For

• Small dogs and puppies wanting a chew in proportion to their size.
• Dogs on an elimination diet where chicken, beef and lamb are excluded.
• Dogs with sensitive digestion that struggle with richer chews.
• A short reward between meals rather than an evening's occupation.
• Not substantial enough for a large or powerful dog — the Anco Naturals Giant Rabbit Stick is the same protein in a chew that lasts.

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.
• Feed one or two ears at a time and adjust the main meal for what is given.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Care & Caution
