If your dog loves to chew, you have plenty of options to choose from. Rawhide, bully sticks, antlers, and yak chews are all popular, but they offer very different chewing experiences.
So, what makes a yak chew different?
Yak Chews vs. Rawhide
Traditional rawhide is made from animal hides and can be difficult for dogs to digest, especially if large pieces are swallowed.
Yak chews are a food-based alternative made from milk and are easily digestible. The traditional cheese-making process removes most of the lactose, leaving behind a concentrated cheese-based chew.
Yak chews start out firm and dense, creating a long-lasting chewing experience. As your dog gnaws and chews, their saliva works into the chew, helping break down and soften the texture over time.
Yak Chews vs. Antlers
Antlers are extremely hard, which is one reason they can last so long. They're designed as long-lasting chew items rather than a food-based chew.
Yak chews are different because they are made to be eaten. Your dog can consume the chew as they work their way through it, making the entire chew part of the experience.
As your dog continues to gnaw on a yak chew, the moisture from their saliva helps soften the texture, making it more pliable as they chew.
Yak Chews vs. Bully Sticks.
Bully sticks are another popular long-lasting chew, but they can come with strong odors and a messy chewing experience. As they become wet and soft, they can leave greasy residue behind.
Yak chews offer a cleaner alternative. They stay firm as your dog chews rather than becoming wet and sticky like a bully stick.
Why Do Dogs Love to Chew?
Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs. It gives them an appropriate outlet for their natural desire to gnaw and can provide mental enrichment.
Instead of chewing your shoes, furniture, or favorite blanket, give them something made for chewing.
The right chew depends on your dog's size, age, chewing style, and dental health. Always supervise your dog while they're enjoying a chew.
Why Choose a Yak Chew?
Yak chews are food-based, 100% consumable chews that dogs can enjoy as they work their way through them. They start out firm and dense, then gradually become more pliable as your dog chews. Their saliva and the action of chewing help break down and soften the texture, creating a satisfying chewing experience that changes as they enjoy it.
And when your yak chew gets down to a small piece, don't throw it away! Place the small piece in the microwave for approximately 60 seconds, and watch it puff into a light, crunchy treat.*
One yak chew. Two ways to enjoy it.
Microwave times may vary depending on wattage. Always allow the puffed piece to cool completely before giving it to your dog.
