Anco Naturals Chicken Necks 7pk

Anco Naturals Chicken Necks – 7 Pack

A chicken neck is bone, cartilage and a little meat, air-dried whole so the whole thing crunches. Anco declare 38.5% protein, 14.8% fat, 20.6% ash and 6.8% humidity — the high ash is simply the mineral content of the bone showing up in the analysis.

Anco point out that their chicken necks are noticeably smaller than the duck and turkey necks in the same range, which makes them the sensible poultry neck for a small dog. For a larger dog they are a quick, crunchy reward rather than anything that will occupy them.
