Anco Naturals Lamb Horn Marrow Dog Treat

Anco Naturals Lamb Horn Marrow

This is the soft core taken from inside the lamb horn rather than the horn itself, air-dried until it goes light and crunchy. It behaves nothing like the horn it came from: where the horn has to be ground down over hours, the marrow shatters under the back teeth, and the crumbling is what scrapes the tooth surfaces clean.

The analysis is the reason it is worth knowing about. Anco declare 0% fat — genuinely fat free, not merely low — with 46.94% protein and a high 25.51% crude ash reflecting the mineral content of the horn core. There is no other chew in this listing with a zero fat figure.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% lamb, taken from the core of the horn and air-dried.
• Declared fat free at 0%, unique among the chews in this range.
• Crunchy rather than hard, so it crumbles instead of needing to be ground down.
• The crunching action helps clean the teeth as the dog eats.
• 46.94% protein with a naturally high mineral content.
• Air-dried rather than cooked, preserving the natural flavour.

Suitable For

• Dogs on a strict low-fat or fat-free regime, including pancreatitis cases.
• Older dogs and light chewers that find horn and hoof too hard.
• Dogs recovering from illness where fat has to be kept out of the diet.
• A short dental chew rather than an evening's occupation.
• Not durable enough for a power chewer — the Anco Naturals Lamb Horn itself is the long-lasting version of the same animal.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, given as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• One piece at a time. Reduce the main meal to account for what is fed.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Care & Caution

• Anco require supervision at all times while the dog is eating this product.
