The Buffalo Co. Buffalo Ears | Natural Dog Treats | 20 or 50 Ears

Most dog treats are a compromise — high in fat, full of additives, or so small they're gone in seconds. Buffalo ears are none of those things. The 83% protein content makes them genuinely nutritious rather than just a reward, the 2% fat means you can give them freely without worrying about weight gain, and the single-ingredient composition means you know exactly what your dog is eating. The chewing action provides meaningful dental benefit — not the token crunch of a biscuit, but sustained chewing that actually works on plaque and tartar. And they're long-lasting enough to keep even an enthusiastic chewer occupied for a proper session. Bailey's verdict is unambiguous.

Gundog Training Academy Tip

High-value treats are a training tool, not just a reward. The key is controlling access — a treat that's always available loses its value as a motivator. Buffalo ears should be reserved for the moments that matter most: a clean recall from a distance, a first successful blind retrieve, a steady sit under pressure. When your dog knows that the very best things only appear for the very best performances, their motivation to get it right increases significantly.

For training sessions, break the ear into small pieces and use them as jackpot rewards — the unexpected, high-value treat that marks an exceptional performance. Use lower-value treats for routine rewards and save the buffalo ear pieces for the breakthroughs. Your dog will learn to distinguish between a routine reward and a jackpot, and will work harder for the latter.

For post-session recovery, a whole ear given after a hard working day provides a calming, satisfying chew that helps a dog settle and decompress. The sustained chewing also has a mild stress-reducing effect — a dog that chews contentedly after a session is a dog that associates working days with positive outcomes.
