Himilayan Yak Chews - YorkieTalk.com Forums

aweitzm1 · 06-22-2016, 07:43 AM

Has any one ever gotten the Yak chews for their dogs? I just bought some on the recommendation of my pet store. I wanted something that would last longer than 10 minutes of chewing. Since my dogs are big chewers the bully sticks did not last that long.

I have to say I love these treats for them. They can chew on them for days and it is all natural. I got them the medium size chew since they will spend hours going at it. Much better than the rawhides I have given them in the past. The other great thing I just found out about them is that when it gets to the end you can put it in the microwave for a minute and it will puff up like a rice cake. Then you can give it to your dogs as a treat. This now going to be my go to chew for them.

Just wondering what others thought of this product.

My girls love them! We microwave the small bits too

My Scottie and Casie LOVES these. It's the only chew toy they treat like a heaven-sent treasure and will try to hide it from me.

Except that I limit them to how long they can chew it for - just because of sensitive stomach issues...I don't want them to consume half of it and then clean up after them the next day

My kids aren't big chewers, but when they take a notion to chew, they go for the Himilayan Chews.

I soo wanted Piper to like the H chews, but she never quite got into them. I, too, got the medium and maybe that was just too much; however, I can't afford trial and error with price of these chews being what they are...The only thing I was warned about was the hardness of the Himalayan chews and Piper possibly breaking a tooth.

Scottie didn't like it at first either! And I thought, what a waste of money! But somehow, maybe because I was sniffing it and asking why he didn't like something that smelled so good...he started to want it after a few times lol...

I think both Scottie and Casie learned quickly that they can't just chomp down on them because the H-chews are so hard, so they kind of grind/gnaw it down with their front incisor teeth like beavers do...

I've heard these can break teeth. Any experience this?

Same here, seemed like a great option- Lilah wasn't into them and then I also heard the break a tooth thing. They were kicking around my house until my sisters cattle dog came to visit recently- so glad someone got some enjoyment out of them! I heard Himalayan mountain babies teeth on them

Wow, no wonder those Sherpa Mountain guides are so tough and hardy---if you start out teething on a Himalayan chews, I'm thinking you're made of pretty strong stuff! Hey, Lilah Charm, wonderful to have you back in our midst! Because speaking of...you were missed!

Oh thank you so much!

I am so glad to be back!

That makes me feel so good- thank you!

I heard the same thing which is why we stopped giving it to Cody. That and it made his breath smell funky.

We get him Bison bullysticks from a small company in Colorado. He loves them! Although, the dentist said these could crack his teeth too.

They seem way to hard for me and like they would break teeth.

fauna · 06-23-2016, 08:16 PM

I don't have experience about breaking their teeth! My girls love it and so far don't have any issue with it.
