AnimAll Snack Rabbit meat sticks, 500 g are a treat made from natural rabbit meat for dogs that also suits cats. They're based on rabbit (80.8%), contain high-quality protein and have a convenient shape and size for training or snacking between meals. The manufacturer recommends 1–3 sticks a day as an extra treat. The large 500 g pack is good value if you have several pets or train your dog a lot.
Why rabbit
Rabbit is a lean protein that turns up in foods and treats less often than chicken or beef. That's why rabbit often suits dogs and cats that react to the usual meats. Rabbit also has a strong smell that most animals love, so the sticks work as a high-value reward in training. Choosing training treats is covered in treats for dog training.
Ingredients
Rabbit 80.8%, starch 6%, vegetable glycerine 6%, vegetable protein 3%, sorbitol 3%, potassium sorbate (preservative) 0.1%, vitamin C 0.1%. Guaranteed analysis: protein at least 20%, fat at least 3%, ash at most 3%, fibre at most 3%, moisture at most 18%. Glycerine and sorbitol retain moisture and keep the sticks soft, and potassium sorbate protects against mould.

Pros
- Lots of meat. 80.8% rabbit.
- An unusual protein. Rabbit triggers reactions less often than chicken or beef.
- Lean. Fat from 3% suits dogs watching their weight.
- A handy shape. The sticks are easy to break into training-size pieces.
- For dogs and cats. One pack for the whole household.
- Good-value pack. 500 g lasts a long time.
Cons
- Additives. Glycerine, sorbitol, starch and the preservative potassium sorbate.
- Unspecified vegetable protein. The source isn't named, which matters for strictly allergic pets.
- Soft sticks. They barely clean teeth and won't keep a dog chewing for long.
- An opened pack must be kept tightly closed. Otherwise the sticks dry out.
How to give them
Give 1–3 sticks a day as an extra treat, not instead of food. For training, break a stick into small pieces — one stick can then last a whole session. Treats shouldn't provide more than 10% of daily calories, or the diet becomes unbalanced and the dog gains weight; more in excess weight in cats and dogs. Give cats small pieces. Always provide fresh water.
Treats and health
Shop-bought meat sticks are safer than table scraps: they contain no salt, spices, onion or garlic, which are dangerous for dogs — see the list of forbidden foods in what not to feed a dog. If you want full control over ingredients, see the ideas in homemade dog treats. For long chewing, hard chew treats work better — see chew treats for dogs: how to choose.
Who it suits
Dogs of all sizes and cats that need a tasty meat reward, including pets that react to chicken and beef (provided they're not allergic to rabbit). More treats are in the dog treats section.
Verdict
AnimAll Snack Rabbit are meat sticks with 80.8% rabbit: lean, aromatic, handy for training and suitable for both dogs and cats. A good-value 500 g pack. The downsides are moisture-retaining additives and a preservative, plus unspecified vegetable protein in the recipe.
