Zeus Better Bones Chicken Wrap Bones

Traditional rawhide chews carry a real choking risk, and this range exists specifically as an alternative - a shape and chew experience like rawhide, without rawhide itself in the recipe.

These bones are built from tapioca starch, glycerine, sorbitol liquid, isolated soy protein, corn starch, xanthan gum, sunflower oil and calcium carbonate, with a chicken flavouring at 0.16%, plus thyme and rosemary at 0.1% each. Zeus describe them as rawhide-free and easy to digest, carrying crude protein at 12.7%, crude fat at 4.81%, crude fibre at 0.22% and crude ash at 1.99%.

• 24-pack of rawhide-free chew bones
• Chicken flavouring at 0.16% - the only chicken-related ingredient
• Main ingredients: tapioca starch, isolated soy protein, corn starch
• Crude protein 12.7%, crude fat 4.81%, crude ash 1.99%
• Thyme and rosemary each at 0.1%

On the chicken. Zeus's own marketing calls these "wrapped with real chicken breast", but the composition lists no chicken breast at all - only a chicken flavouring at 0.16%. The protein in these bones comes from isolated soy protein, not chicken; if you're choosing this for the meat content, it isn't there in any meaningful amount.

Who it's for: owners who specifically want to avoid rawhide and don't mind that the chicken here is a flavouring rather than a real-meat chew.
