Explanation:
Not as exact as the French, but probably how they would be described in England. I would say something like: "Give your dog a treat at any time of day with these buffalo-hide chewsticks".

agree  writeaway: This is what we call them in English. If one sticks to the Fr here, the result is just a translation of the French, but not idiomatic English

agree  Rachel Fell: they seem to use "rawhide" rather than "hide" for this

  -> That's true, but that isn't necessarily buffalo hide.
agree  John Speese: I too have seen rawhide chew sticks, chew bars, etc. And whether they're bison or water buffalo probably depends on where they were made.
