Zeus Better Bones Duck & Cranberry Wrap Bones

A name on a treat sets an expectation about what's actually inside, and it's worth checking that expectation against the composition rather than the front of the pack.

These bones are named Duck & Cranberry, but the composition tells a different story: they're built from tapioca starch and chicken fillet at 8.55%, with glycerine, sorbitol liquid, isolated soy protein, corn starch, xanthan gum, sunflower oil and calcium carbonate, and only a small duck flavouring at 0.13% and cranberry at 0.1%. Zeus describe them as rawhide-free, 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
• Named protein content is chicken fillet at 8.55%
• Duck flavouring at 0.13% and cranberry at 0.1% - both minor
• Crude protein 12.7%, crude fat 4.81%, crude ash 1.99%
• Rawhide-free

On the name. Despite being called Duck & Cranberry, the meaningful named ingredient here is chicken fillet at 8.55% - duck is present only as a 0.13% flavouring and cranberry at 0.1%, both far smaller than the front-of-pack name suggests. If duck is specifically what you're buying it for, this isn't really a duck treat.

Who it's for: owners who want a rawhide-free chew and aren't fussed which named flavour is on the front, since the actual meat content here is chicken rather than duck.
