Just Cheese Chews

Dog Cheese Chews are hard-dried cheese chews. The ingredients are yak and/or cow milk, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. They are a centuries-old natural chew made from milk, first developed in Nepal by yak herdsmen who were working in the Himalayas and needed an easy way to get a high level of protein for themselves. Dog cheese chews are also known as yak chews or Himalayan chews and are long-lasting dog chews.

Caring for your Cheese Chew: Cheese Chews should be kept from excessive moisture, out of the sun, and not left outside. Variations in color and shape with these chews are expected as they are an all-natural product.

It is generally safe to give Himalayan Yak cheese chews, also known as Chhurpi, to a young puppy, as long as it is done in moderation and the puppy does not have any known allergies or sensitivities to the ingredients. However, it's important to keep in mind that puppies have different nutritional needs than adult dogs, and their diet should be carefully tailored to support their growth and development. Puppies have a higher need for protein, fat, and certain minerals and vitamins to support their growth and development. Chhurpi is high in protein, which can benefit a growing puppy. However, it is important to consult a veterinarian or a professional nutritionist to ensure that the puppy's diet is balanced and complete. It's also important to check the ingredients of the cheese chew that you're giving to your puppy to ensure that it does not contain any harmful ingredients such as artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives (Ours do not). Some products may also be flavored with ingredients such as garlic, onion, or other substances that may be toxic to dogs and should be avoided. It is also important to remember that puppies are more likely to chew on things and may choke on small pieces of food, so it's important to supervise the puppy while they are chewing. In conclusion, while it may be safe to give Himalayan Yak cheese chews to a young puppy, it's important to consult with a veterinarian or professional nutritionist to ensure that the puppy's diet is balanced and complete and to supervise the puppy while they are eating.

Use this guide to find the right size for your dog: Size Dog Weight Tiny Under 15 lbs Small 15–30 lbs Medium 30–55 lbs Large 55–80 lbs XL/Mega Over 80 lbs When in doubt, go bigger. It is always safe to size up — a larger chew just means it lasts longer. However, a chew that is too small for your dog is a problem — they can snap chunks off, which shortens the chew's life and can become a choking hazard. The most important rule: if your dog can break pieces off the chew, size up immediately. For aggressive chewers we always recommend going one size larger than the weight chart suggests.

The length of time a dog Yak cheese chew lasts can vary depending on the size and thickness of the chew, as well as the dog's chewing habits. Always buy the right size for your dog. Smaller, thinner chews may be consumed more quickly, while larger, thicker chews may last longer. On average, a Yak cheese chew could last anywhere from several hours to several weeks for a dog. It also depends on the dog's size and if they are a heavy chewer or not. If the dog can break chunks from the cheese chew, it means that the size is too small for the dog or the cheese chew is not prepared properly.
