Six o'clock. The couch cushion has a new hole in it, and your dog is looking at you like nothing happened. He isn't being bad — he needs to chew, and he found the only thing available.
Why Yak Chews for Dogs Work
🧀 100% natural himalayan yak chews – Handcrafted from yak and cow milk, slowly dried and naturally smoked.
🦴 Long-lasting – Dense texture that holds up to real chewing. Hours, sometimes days.
💪 50%+ protein, nearly lactose-free – Easy to digest, suitable for sensitive dogs.
🦷 Helps promote dental health – The hard surface scrapes plaque and tartar as your dog works it.
🔥 Microwave trick – When the piece gets too small, heat it 1 minute for a crunchy puffed dog treat. Nothing wasted.
What Is a Yak Cheese Dog Chew?
Yak cheese (chhurpi) is a rock-hard chew stick made the same way it's been made in the Himalayas for centuries: pressed, salted, air-dried for weeks, sometimes smoked.
That's the whole process. No binders, no colouring, no softeners — just four natural ingredients.
Unlike bully sticks, this yak dog chew doesn't stain, doesn't smell, and doesn't splinter the way a stick does.

Choosing Your Yak Chew Size
Match the size to the dog, not the appetite. A chew that's too small is the only real risk here.
- Medium (~60-70 g, 13-14 cm) — dogs 20 to 50 lb
- Large (~100-110 g) — dogs over 50 lb and powerful chewers
Heavy chewer in a small body? Size up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do yak chews last?
It depends on jaw strength — some dogs chew for hours, others stretch it over days.
Are yak chews good for dogs with allergies?
Often yes. There's no grain, no gluten and no additives — just milk, salt and lime juice.
Is yak cheese lactose-free?
Nearly. The pressing and drying process reduces lactose to a negligible level.
At what age can I introduce it?
Once your dog has permanent teeth and a sufficiently strong jaw.
How do you puff a yak chew in the microwave?
When the piece gets too small to chew safely, don't throw it out. Microwave it on a plate for 45 to 60 seconds on high. The yak cheese puffs up into a crunchy, safe snack.
Keep an eye on it: small pieces puff in under 45 seconds. Let it cool completely before giving it — the inside stays hot longer than you'd expect. If it doesn't puff, the piece is usually too dry; soaking it in water for a few minutes first solves that.
What's the difference between medium and large?
Medium (~60-70 g) suits 20-50 lb dogs. Large (~100-110 g) suits dogs over 50 lb and powerful chewers.
Which flavour should I choose?
All nine are natural. Try a few and let your dog decide.
