Burns Chicken & Rice Sticks Dog Treats 4 Pack – 90% Chicken Breast Meat Chews

Burns Chicken & Rice Sticks – 4 Pack

These are the leanest sticks in Anco’s Burns range. Chicken breast is the meat, rice is the only other named ingredient, and the fat comes in at 16% against 24–27% for the beef and bacon sticks alongside them. That gap is the whole reason to pick this one.

Anco sell them in retail packs of four, which is enough for a week of short training sessions if you break each stick down rather than handing it over whole. The sticks are pale, firm and much less strongly scented than the smoked ones, which some dogs prefer and some find less exciting.

Performance & Benefits

• Crude fat of 16.00% — substantially lower than the beef, petaroni and smokie sticks in the same range.
• Crude protein 33.70%, so reward value stays high despite the lower fat.
• Chicken breast and rice only; Anco add no biscuit or cereal filler.
• Wheat free and gluten free.
• No artificial flavourings declared.
• Four sticks per pack, sealed until opened.

Suitable For

• Dogs and puppies from eight weeks of age.
• Dogs on a fat-restricted diet, or prone to putting weight on.
• Training sessions where you want to give many small pieces.
• Dogs that do better on poultry than on red meat.
• Not the strongest-smelling option — for a hard-to-motivate dog outdoors, the Burns Jumbo Smokies carry far more scent.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only, alongside a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Break each stick into training-sized pieces rather than feeding it whole.
• Supervise your dog throughout, and keep fresh water available.
• Suitable from eight weeks of age.
• Anco state no daily allowance; reduce the main meal to allow for what you give.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition as Anco publish it: chicken breast, rice.
• Analytical constituents: crude protein 33.70%, crude fat 16.00%, crude ash 8.20%, crude fibre 1.00%.
• Anco publish moisture as 0.22%, which looks like a misplaced decimal for a semi-moist stick; their figure is given here unaltered.
• Anco describe the sticks as 90% chicken breast meat in one place and as 100% meat in another; rice is in the composition, so the 90% figure is the one that fits.
• Anco product code 14006. Supplied to trade as 20 retail packs of four; this listing is one pack of four.

Care & Caution

• Anco ask that dogs are supervised at all times while eating this product.
• Whole sticks are long enough to be gulped — snap them down for small breeds.
• Contains rice, so it is not a grain-free treat despite being wheat and gluten free.
