Yak Chews for Dogs UK

Why UK dog owners are choosing yak chews

Yak chews (also called yak milk chews, yak bones or Himalayan dog chews) are hard cheese chews made from milk. Dogs gnaw them down slowly, a little at a time, which is why a single chew can keep a strong chewer busy for hours. They have become one of the most popular natural chews in the UK because they offer that long-lasting chew without rawhide, meat or artificial additives.

What are our yak chews made from?

Every FluffStuff yak chew is made from just three ingredients:

• Yak and cow milk, the base of the chew, a natural source of protein and calcium
• Lime juice, used to set the milk into a firm cheese
• A pinch of salt, for preservation

The cheese is pressed into blocks and slowly dried until it is rock hard. That traditional Himalayan method is what makes each chew so tough and long-lasting. There is no rawhide, no meat, no gluten and no grain, and the chews are vegetarian.

Yak chews vs rawhide

Rawhide is made from processed animal hide, and many owners now look for an alternative. Yak chews are made from milk instead, with a short, simple ingredient list, and they still give dogs the satisfying, long chew they want. You can see how they compare with rawhide and supermarket dental sticks in the table below, or read our full yak chews vs rawhide guide.

How long do yak chews last?

It depends on your dog. Power chewers such as Labradors, Staffies and German Shepherds will often work on one XL chew for an hour or more, while gentler chewers can make one last for several days. When the chew gets too small to hold safely, take the end away, microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds until it puffs up, let it cool, and give it back as a crunchy treat. Nothing goes to waste.

Which size yak chew is right for my dog?

Always choose a chew that is bigger than your dog could swallow whole.

• XL yak chews (16 to 18 cm, 140 to 150 g) suit medium and large dogs and strong chewers. Shop the pack of 4, pack of 6 or pack of 10.
• Medium yak chews suit small breeds such as Pugs, Dachshunds and Jack Russells. Try our Medium 4-flavour multipack.

Getting the most from your yak chews

• Supervise your dog while they chew, and offer fresh water.
• Remove small leftover pieces to avoid choking.
• Store chews somewhere cool and dry, sealed in their packaging. See how to store yak chews.
• Yak chews are suitable for dogs from 4 months old. If your dog has dental problems, check with your vet first.
