Crunchy Cheese Puffs

Yak Chewz are made solely out of lactose-free and fat-free dehydrated cheese! The natural yak milk used in our chews is sourced and processed in Nepal, where the local yak farmers have been making this cheese as a shelf-stable, human food for many generations. The only ingredients that are added are a very small amount of salt and lime juice, used to start the conversion of the milk into cheese. In our fruit-flavored chews, we also add fully digestible, all-natural, non-staining coloring and essential oils derived from fruits.

Absolutely they are! Yak Chewz are fully digestible, lactose-free, fat-free, and consist mainly of protein and probiotics. They are considered safe for the majority of dogs with allergies and sensitive stomachs, though if you have serious concerns about your dog's specific dietary requirements, consult with your veterinarian just to make sure.

While Yak Chewz are safe for healthy, adult dogs, we do advise a certain amount of caution with puppies under 15 weeks of age that haven't started getting their adult teeth in yet, simply so they aren't chewing on our hardened chews and accidentally lose too many of their deciduous teeth too soon. We advise the same caution with elderly dogs as well: if they have started losing their adult teeth due to age, maybe avoid the hardened chews and stick with our crunchy puffs, as those are much softer on their teeth. Dogs of ALL ages love the puffs! 

We recommend waiting until around 15 weeks of age, (after most of the deciduous teeth have fallen out and adult teeth have started coming in), before you start giving our hardened chews to your puppy. However, our Crunchy Puffs make a GREAT treat for them as soon as they can start eating solid food, and they can be cut up into smaller pieces and used as training treats as well! 

Under normal circumstances, if you get the chew according to the size of your dog, average chewers usually get about a week of chew time. If you have a larger breed dog or a "power-chewer" type of dog, that time can vary, but MOST of the time you'll still get at the least a couple of days out of our chews. In case of power chewers, we often recommend using our chews as a special treat, set a chew time limit for your dog, and remove the chew after about an hour so they can end up enjoying their Yak Chew for multiple days instead of just destroying it all in one sitting. 

If you check our website, there is a menu selection called: "How To Choose The Right Yak Chew". We have a chew-size-to-dog-weight ratio menu that should help you pick the perfect chew for your pup.

It's pretty easy though, Small chews for small dogs (4-20 lbs.), Medium chews (20-30 lbs.), Large chews (30-40 lbs.), Extra Large chews (40-50 lbs.), XXL chews (50-60 lbs.), Jumbo chews for big dogs (60-100+ lbs.).
