Anco Naturals Giant Buffalo Braid Dog Treat – 100% Natural, Hypoallergenic Chew

Anco Naturals Giant Buffalo Braid – 40–50cm

The buffalo version of Anco's giant braid: three dried strands of buffalo plaited into a 40–50cm rope. Buffalo dries a shade darker and slightly denser than beef, and the finished braid tends to hold together longer under the same jaw, which is why it turns up on so many shopping lists for dogs that demolish rawhide alternatives.

Anco's declared figures are 67% protein and 9% fat, with crude ash at 6%. As a protein it sits outside the usual beef, chicken and lamb rotation, so it is one of the standard fallbacks for a dog with a diagnosed sensitivity to the common meats.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% buffalo, air-dried and plaited into a long rope.
• Approximately 40–50cm, sold as a single braid.
• 67% protein with 9% fat, keeping it on the lean side for its size.
• A protein most dogs have never been exposed to, so useful for sensitive dogs.
• Chewing releases endorphins, which is why a long chew settles an unsettled dog.
• No artificial additives, preservatives, colours or flavours.

Suitable For

• Dogs with protein sensitivities that cannot have beef, chicken or lamb.
• Large breeds and committed chewers.
• Settling a dog in the evening or through a period of confinement.
• Owners wanting one long-lasting chew rather than repeated small treats.
• Too long and too dense for a puppy or a toy breed — the Anco Naturals Puffed Rabbit Ears are the lighter hypoallergenic choice.

Feeding

• Feed as a treat or reward only. Complementary pet food, to be used as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
• Suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age.
• Offer one braid and take it up when the session ends.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available.

Care & Caution

• Anco's guidance is that pets are supervised at all times while consuming this product.
• Take away the last stub once it is short enough to be swallowed rather than chewed.
• A dense 40–50cm rope is a lot of chew in one go — build a new dog up to it rather than handing over a whole one first time.
• Ensure fresh drinking water is available during and after the chew.
