Anco Buffalo Braids — 100% Natural Buffalo Skin Chew
Pickup available at Pup Chic Boutique
Usually ready in 24 hours
The chew that keeps them busy — and actually does them good.
Anco Buffalo Braids are made from 100% pure buffalo skin, braided into a satisfyingly tough, long-lasting chew your dog will absolutely obsess over. Naturally high in protein and iron, low in fat, and completely free from artificial anything — this is a treat you can feel good about handing over.
One ingredient. Zero fillers. Loads of happy chewing.
Anco Buffalo Braids are natural dog chews made from 100% buffalo skin — nothing else, nothing added. The skin is braided together, which makes the chew more durable than a standard stick and gives dogs more texture to really work through. That means longer chewing sessions, a more engaged pup, and a lot less zoomies around your living room.
Anco is a family-owned Scottish company with over 20 years of experience in natural dog treats. They're one of the most trusted names in the UK for clean, single-ingredient chews — and their buffalo range is a staple in the Pup Chic natural treats collection.
Why We Love These for the Pack
The braid makes a difference. It's not just for looks — the braided shape makes the chew trickier to demolish quickly, so even determined chewers have to work for it. Great for dogs who blitz through softer treats in seconds.
Buffalo is naturally lean. With around 76% protein and only 8% fat, buffalo skin is a genuinely guilt-free chew. Higher protein than a lot of alternatives, without the heavy fat content that comes with some other chews.
Iron-rich by nature. Buffalo is a natural source of iron, which supports healthy blood and energy levels. Not bad for a treat.
A brilliant dental chew. All that gnawing isn't just satisfying — the firm, chewy texture works against plaque and tartar build-up on your dog's teeth. Nature's toothbrush, basically.
A novel protein — ideal for sensitive dogs. Buffalo isn't a protein most dogs have eaten regularly, making these braids a smart choice if your dog has sensitivities or intolerances to more common proteins like chicken or beef.
No nasties — ever. Completely free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives. Chemical-free. Just buffalo.

Who Are They Suitable For?
Anco Buffalo Braids are suitable for dogs of all sizes and breeds and can be given from 8 weeks of age. They work well as a longer-lasting reward, a calming enrichment activity, or just something to keep your dog occupied while you actually get something done.
Particularly great for:
Important: Always supervise your dog with any chew. Remove and replace if the braid becomes small enough to swallow whole.
How to Use
Offer one braid at a time as a treat or chewing activity. Store in a cool, dry place. Feed as part of a balanced diet — not a complete food.
Is this the same as rawhide? No — and that's the point. Rawhide is chemically processed hide that can be difficult for dogs to digest and has well-documented safety concerns. Anco Buffalo Braids are 100% natural, minimally processed buffalo skin with no chemical treatment. A much safer, cleaner alternative.
What's the difference between Buffalo Braids and Buffalo Collagen Braids? Good question — they're genuinely different products. Buffalo Braids are made from 100% buffalo skin and are naturally high in protein and iron, with a rich, meaty chewing experience. Buffalo Collagen Braids are made from buffalo collagen — a different part of the animal — and are known for supporting joints and skin health. The braids are the chewier, more satisfying option for dogs who love a proper gnaw.
Are these suitable for puppies? Yes — suitable from 8 weeks old. Always supervise puppies with any chew and make sure the size is appropriate for your dog.
How long do they last? Longer than most soft treats, thanks to the braided construction. How long exactly depends on your dog's size and chewing style — smaller breeds will take longer, while large power chewers will get through them faster.
Is buffalo hypoallergenic? Buffalo is considered a novel protein, meaning most dogs haven't been exposed to it regularly. This makes it a great option for dogs with sensitivities or suspected intolerances to chicken, beef, or lamb.
Are they grain and gluten free? Yes — 100% grain-free and gluten-free.
I only stock treats and supplements I genuinely believe in — the kind I'd give my own poodles without a second thought. Every product in the Pup Chic natural treats range is chosen for real quality, clean ingredients, and honest benefits. Anco's values match ours: natural, transparent, and actually good for your dog. No gimmicks, no filler ingredients, no nonsense.
