Anco Naturals Giant Beef Braid Dog Treat – 100% Natural, High-Protein Long-Lasting Chew

Anco Naturals Giant Beef Braid – 40–50cm

Three lengths of dried beef plaited together and left long, roughly 40–50cm end to end. The braid is the reason it lasts: a dog cannot get a clean bite across three twisted strands the way it can across a single stick, so the chew unwinds slowly from one end instead of snapping in half.

Anco declare it at 76% protein against 8% fat, which is the highest protein figure of the three giant beef and buffalo formats and puts it comfortably inside what most vets would call a lean treat. It is a big object, so this is a chew for a large dog with time on its hands.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% beef, air-dried and plaited, with no colours, added salt or added sugar.
• Approximately 40–50cm long — one of the longest chews Anco make.
• 76% protein and 8% fat, so the calories come mostly from lean protein.
• The plaited construction resists a single crushing bite, extending chewing time.
• Abrasive strands help lift plaque and tartar as the dog works down the braid.
• Grain and gluten free, with no GMO, dairy or soy.

Suitable For

• Large and giant breeds, and persistent chewers that finish smaller sticks in minutes.
• Dogs on a lower-fat regime, including those Anco flag as pancreatitis-prone.
• Occupying a dog on crate rest or through a quiet evening.
• Owners who want one long chew rather than a handful of small ones.
• Too much chew for a toy or small breed — the Anco Naturals Moon Bones are a better-sized beef option.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, given as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• One braid at a time, and cut back the main meal to account for it.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Care & Caution
