Yak Dog Chews are great long-lasting dog chews, loved by all woofers and this large one will keep your dog quiet for quite some time!
They originate from the hills of the Himalayas and they were originally made for human consumption, and they are still widely eaten by the Himalayan people and their dogs. Yak chews are made from a mix of skimmed Yak and Cow milk. A very small amount of lime juice and salt is added to coagulate (harden) the milk, which is then compressed into blocks and smoke dried for 28 days to give the chews their unique flavour.
Colour variation:
Yak chews are smoked using traditional methods. Each chew is laid on drying racks and they dry through the use of traditional smokers. The chews are moved up in height weekly over a 4 week period as they dry so that they are further away from the smoker, so the difference in colour shouldn’t be too great, however a darker colour just means that they have had more smoke than others. This colour may vary slightly from batch to batch too.
Sometimes you can see dimples on the sides of the yak chews, which happens when the cheese is being compressed into blocks as it is wrapped in muslin cloth.
Yak dog chews are low in fat at only 5.2%, the cheese used is made from skimmed milk as all of the cream is removed as part of the process.
Suitable for all dogs over 4 months old.
Keep your yak chew in a cool and dry place. These products get better with age and last longer the older they are which is why there is a 5 year shelf life on them.
