Anco Naturals Ostrich Prime Meat Sticks Dog Treats 5pcs – High-Protein Chewy Treats

Anco Naturals Ostrich Prime Sticks – 5 Pieces

Five soft, chewy sticks made with 50% ostrich meat, bound with tapioca and potato starch. They sit between a training treat and a chew: too substantial to hand out one after another on a walk, too soft to occupy a dog for any length of time, and best used as the one good thing at the end of a session.

Of the three ostrich products in this listing, these carry much the highest meat-derived protein at 51%, with fat down at 8%. That pairing — high protein, low fat, soft texture — is unusual and makes them workable for older dogs and for dogs whose fat intake is being watched.

Performance & Benefits

• 50% ostrich meat, with 51% protein and only 8% fat.
• Soft and chewy rather than hard, so easy on ageing teeth.
• Ostrich is a novel protein, suiting dogs with intolerances to common meats.
• Naturally supplies iron and B vitamins from the meat content.
• Grain and gluten free, with no artificial additives, preservatives or flavourings.
• Five sticks per pack, so a pack covers several sessions.

Suitable For

• Older dogs that want something meaty but cannot manage a hard chew.
• Dogs on a controlled-fat diet at only 8% fat.
• Dogs with sensitive digestion or diagnosed intolerances.
• A high-value reward at the end of a training session or a vet visit.
• Not a long chew — for a dog that needs occupying, the Anco Naturals Giant Beef Braid is the one to reach for.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, used as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• One stick at a time, reducing the main meal to allow for it.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.
