Yak Chews for Dogs

Yak Chews Frequently Asked Questions

What is a yak chew?

A yak chew is a dense, long-lasting dog chew made from boiled yak and cow milk, shaped and dried using a traditional Himalayan method.

Are yak chews safe for dogs?

Yes, yak chews for dogs are safe when sized appropriately and used under supervision. They’re fully digestible and free from artificial ingredients.

Are Himalayan yak chews good for dogs?

Himalayan yak chews are high in protein, low in fat, and promote dental health, making them a healthy, natural choice for most dogs.

Are yak cheese chews safe for puppies?

Though fully digestible, yak chews are very hard, so delicate puppy teeth may not be able to handle this robust chew safely. Start with softer chews like collagen chews or bully sticks until your dog's adult teeth come in and they develop good chewing habits.

How long do I microwave a yak chew?

Microwave yak cheese nuggets for 25-30 seconds, or until they puff up into a crunchy, light treat. Let the treat cool completely before giving it to your dog.

Are yak chews digestible?
