Why Choose a Lean Treat

Dogs love food treats, and just like us, they can end up with too many calories from them. Treats are handed out as rewards, or simply because our dogs are too cute not to spoil. Lean meat with no visible fat and no added sauces or seasonings makes a great training treat. Ostrich is a lean option, which is why these knuckles can be given as a reward or a snack without piling on unnecessary fat.

How to Use

• Offer as a training reward or as a snack between meals.
• Do not give your dog cooked bones of any kind.

Dosage

Treats should not make up more than 10% of your dog's total diet. Count these knuckles toward that allowance along with any other treats you give.

Suitable For

• Dogs that love to chew.
• Owners looking for a natural rawhide alternative.
• Training sessions where a lean, high-protein reward is wanted.

Sourcing

These treats come from an approved abattoir that sources its raw material from export-registered farms following best animal welfare practices. The ostriches come from over 250 export-approved farms across their natural habitat in the Karoo.
