FAQs
Top Question about Yak Chews Plus
Choose the right size, stay close during chew time, and know when your dog's chew has reached the end of its safe size.
Are yak chews safe for dogs?
Yes. Yak chews are one of the safest, long-lasting chews available for dogs. They are made from 100% natural yak cheese, contain no artificial ingredients and do not splinter like rawhide or cooked bones. Thousands of US vets recommend them as a safe and natural alternative.
Are yak chews safe for puppies?
Yak Chews Plus chews are safe for puppies over 4 months old. We recommend starting with our X-Small size for younger or smaller breeds and always supervising your puppy during chew time. The natural yak cheese is easy to digest and gentle on developing teeth and gums.
How long do Yak Chews Plus chews last?
Most dogs enjoy a Yak Chews Plus chew for several hours to several days, depending on their size and chewing style. Even aggressive chewers find they last significantly longer than rawhide, bully sticks or synthetic alternatives. The denser the chew, the longer it lasts.
Are yak chews good for my dog's teeth?
Yes. The natural chewing action scrapes plaque and tartar from your dog's teeth, supporting better dental hygiene between brushings. Yak chews are one of the few natural chews that genuinely contribute to oral health without the risk of splintering or chemical residue.
Are yak chews digestible?
Yes, yak chews are fully digestible. Unlike rawhide, which can cause serious digestive blockages, yak cheese breaks down naturally in your dog's stomach. When the chew gets too small, simply microwave it for 45 seconds to turn it into a puffy, crunchy snack your dog can safely finish.
How are yak chews different from rawhide or bully sticks?
Rawhide is chemically processed, can splinter and has been linked to choking and digestive blockages. Bully sticks are made from bull pizzle and carry a strong odour. Yak Chews Plus chews are made from pure Himalayan yak cheese with no chemicals, no animal byproducts and no artificial processing. Harder, longer lasting, fully digestible and odour free.
Why are yak chews more expensive than regular chews?
Yak Chews Plus chews are handcrafted in the Himalayas using a traditional process that takes weeks. Yak milk is sourced at high altitude, slow-cooked, pressed and naturally dried. That time and craftsmanship is what makes them last for hours. One Yak Chew Plus chew typically outlasts 5 to 10 rawhide chews combined.
My dog ignores hard chews. Will they like this one?
There is a good chance they will, but we understand the skepticism. The natural strawberry aroma is one of the most effective tools this chew has. Dogs who have previously shown no interest in harder chews often engage with this one simply because of the scent. Starting with a shorter supervised session can also help hesitant dogs get comfortable at their own pace.
