Bacon flavour that isn't sourced from an animal at all is a detail worth knowing if you're avoiding meat treats for a specific reason, or just curious what bacon flavour actually means on an ingredient panel.

This is a tough nylon chew with bacon flavouring — made with non-animal ingredients — infused throughout the material rather than sprayed on. Chewing raises tiny bristles across the textured surface that act like a mini toothbrush, and the Large size measures 197 x 44 x 25mm, weighs 0.1kg and is rated for dogs up to 23kg.

• Non-edible chew — inspect and replace when worn

On the flavour source. This bacon flavouring is stated as made with non-animal ingredients, so this isn't real bacon or animal-derived flavouring — worth knowing either way, whether you're looking for that or trying to avoid it. It's still a non-edible chew: any pieces that separate are described as no bigger than a grain of rice, and it should be replaced once worn.

Who it's for: owners of larger dogs (up to 23kg) who chew hard enough to need an extreme-rated chew, and who don't mind — or specifically want — a flavour that isn't animal-derived.
