Chewmeter Himalayan Yaky Cheese Chew, 100% Natural, Long Lasting, Gluten Free, Healthy & Safe Dog Treats, Lactose & Grain Free, Protein Rich, Stain Free, Medium, For Dogs 35 Lbs & Under, 2.3 oz

Oh my gosh, how did I not know about these sooner?! My Golden boy Remy hurt his paw so I needed something to keep him occupied for a while instead of running around like the total spazz he is. Some background info: Remy is an extremely heavy chewer and destroys chew toys/eats edible chews super fast. He cracked his front tooth while chewing an antler a few months back (he gets REALLY into it) so getting him a bone wasn’t an option. I was in search of something safe, but long lasting. Let me tell y’all, this is IT! The Himalayan Yak chew has kept him busy for a couple hours now, and it’s barely 1/3 of the way chewed. They are wayyy more durable than I expected for something that is 100% edible. I of course had to also give one to my younger pup, an Australian Shepherd, and she loves it too (still has puppy teeth so I’ll be limiting her time with it). So glad I listened to the positive reviews and tried this out! Don’t hesitate to give it a try.

I have been struggling to find my 10 month old toy poodle a treat that was healthy, safe for him to chew on, and above all - long lasting! He usually bites through treats as quickly as he can, and gulps down the pieces even if they're not bite-sized. (The last treat I tried giving him was a bully stick and he bit it in 2 pieces and swallowed whole. I was mortified!) He never chews anything, and so rather risking him swallowing something that's too big or jagged for his little throat, I gave up and resorted to giving him Nylabones. However, I am not a fan of him chewing on plastic. I would find little pieces of plastic everywhere on the floor, in his bed, and in his hair. After watching him use his front paws and teeth to pull off shards of plastic to eat, I knew I needed a change of treat. Enter these yak chews! I was a little hesistant as I know these can be very hard, especially on a toy breed's teeth, but he hates brushing and nothing else I have tried has worked. I never wanted to give him antlers, bones, or rawhide, so when I heard of yak cheese chews and how they were cheese and hard but didn't splinter, I decided I would try these out. In the video I added, he's had this chew for 20 minutes. Other treats have never lasted more than 2!!! And he hasn't even made much of a dent in it yet, it still looks about the same as it came out the package as I type this review. I could definitely see these lasting him for days or hopefully even weeks (I bought 2). For the price, the convenience of giving him something to hold his attention, and how much he seems to enjoy chomping on them, I think this chew is a winner!

My puppy was so so excited when I brought these out. He’s a 6 month old boxer with adult teeth, and the vet recommended these. Definitely a better price than other identical treats on here. So I gave him his chew, and he was so excited he dropped it on the ground and it shattered into 5 pieces too small to chew safely. I have a clay tile kitchen floor): I was like oh heck that one is trash, but then I saw the back. I thought I’d give it a shot and so I soaked the pieces in water over night and this morning I threw one in the microwave for about 3 minutes. It puffed up to 3 or 4 times the size it was, but stayed rock hard. I put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes and then I gave it to him. Oh my gosh. He went nuts. It was much easier for him to chew the puffed up crunchy piece because of his weaker puppy jaw. He’s been going for about 90 minutes while I work on the computer and he hasn’t even really broken into the cheese itself. I’ll take it away in a few to save it for tomorrow(: So! Moral of the story...if they come broken or your pup breaks his...soak the big pieces overnight and then it basically makes the treats viable again as chews!

I recently tried the Himalayan Yaky Cheese Chew for my dog, and overall, it was a positive experience. My dog absolutely loved it, and that's a big win in my book. The packaging also deserves a thumbs up because it kept the product fresh, which is crucial for maintaining its quality. However, I did notice that the Himalayan Yaky Cheese Chew didn't last as long as other yak sticks I've tried in the past. Typically, a yak stick lasts my dog a week or two, but this one was gone in less than a week. While my dog enjoyed it, the shorter lifespan of the product means it might not be the most cost-effective option for long-term chewing.

all 4 of my dogs, from the big one to the tiny one, love these things - they love all "yak" stuff. i don't usually buy from this particular manufacturer - seems their "yakkies" are probably the same as the one i usually buy from - which is the one with the yellow dog on the label, and the only real reason i started buying from them was because they were on "Shark Tank", and i just happened to see that episode. at any rate - yak chews are some of my dogs' favorite things, and they come in various types. i like the hardest ones because they last longest, and none of those things are ever wasted. when my dogs "whittle" them down, i soak the small pieces in water for a couple minutes - pop em in the microwave for a matter of seconds, and they 'grow' into totally safe treats. (instructions are on the labels) they really are a great alternative to other 'treats' which may be unhealthy.

My dog loves yak chews. Bought this for the first time and must have came fractured. Gave it to my pup to then find it in about 6 different pieces. Sharp edges and an absolute choking hazard. Disgusting tbh. Could have easily killed her if I wasn’t supervising. Definitely would not recommend. Would give it 0 stars if I could.

Shattered within minutes of my 25 kg pup chewing on it. Exploded into chunks and sharp shards (turns out it was hollow on the inside). Am terrified that one will puncture my pup’s stomach or intestines. Never again.

Great chew overall and Theo loves them! Although item came broken. Theo loves these chews, I decided to keep the chew as we needed something for Theo to chew on. Great chew but choking hazard when it arrived broken. We order yak chews often online and never have received a broken one via Amazon before.

My Golden Doodle loves to gnaw on a bone and he’s previously enjoyed hard cheese chews. But after less than a minute I had to take this one away from him, as it easily broke into sharp little shards, which I thought could have seriously hurt or choked him. Definitely would not recommend.

Turned up brittle and in 4 pieces. Super sharp, immediately went in the bin
