Hypoallergenic in a dog treat almost always means one thing: a protein the dog hasn't been exposed to yet, and ostrich is uncommon enough on most shelves that it genuinely fits that description for most dogs.

This is a single, air-dried 100% ostrich bone with a honeycomb internal structure, which Paddock Farm say makes it lightweight without being weak. Analysed, it comes out at 29.2% protein and a low 2.4% fat, with a high 53.5% ash reflecting the bone content.

• Single air-dried bone
• 100% ostrich
• Protein 29.2%, fat 2.4%, fibre under 4.4%, ash 53.5%, moisture 5.8%
• Honeycomb structure — lightweight but described as tough to break
• Suitable for medium to large breeds or strong chewers
• Not suitable for puppies under 4 months

A data note. The card also lists chicken and beef under this product's protein sources, which contradicts the composition itself — 100% ostrich, nothing else. We've written this page from the composition, which is the more specific and more reliable of the two fields, but it's worth someone checking that record before it's relied on elsewhere.

Who it's for: owners of dogs over 4 months, medium to large or strong chewers, looking for a genuinely uncommon protein for a dog reacting to the usual ones.
