Anco Naturals Giant Buffalo Biltong Dog Treat – 100% Natural Buffalo Protein

Anco Naturals Giant Buffalo Biltong – Single Piece

Biltong here means a flat slab of buffalo muscle meat dried rather than a rolled skin or a plaited braid, and it behaves differently in the mouth. It is chewy rather than brittle, so a dog works it between the molars and tears strips off, which is slower and quieter than a hard chew but more meat-forward than anything made from hide.

Anco declare 71% protein and 16% fat, the richest of the buffalo formats they publish figures for, with crude ash down at 1.5% because there is effectively no bone or connective tissue in it. Sold as one large piece.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% buffalo muscle meat, dried with no chemical additives.
• 71% protein, supporting muscle condition and general recovery.
• Chewy rather than brittle texture, so it is worked rather than cracked.
• Prolonged chewing helps reduce plaque and tartar build-up.
• Crude ash of only 1.5%, reflecting a meat chew with no bone content.
• Buffalo is an unusual protein in UK dog treats, useful where beef is off the menu.

Suitable For

• Medium and large dogs that prefer meat to hide or bone.
• Dogs being kept off beef, chicken and lamb but still wanting a meaty chew.
• Dogs that dislike hard chews or find them uncomfortable on the teeth.
• Owners wanting a high-protein reward that lasts more than a few seconds.
• At 16% fat it is not the leanest option — the Anco Naturals Giant Buffalo Stick at 6.1% fat is the low-fat buffalo alternative.

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.
