makes Kathmandu's Yak Chew unique. We guarantee that your pup will be happy and healthy with every bite.
What are Himalayan Yak Chews?
Himalayan Yak Chews are 100% natural, long-lasting dog chews made from just two ingredients — yak milk and lime juice. They're vet-approved and completely free from artificial additives, preservatives, and chemicals. As your dog chews, it also naturally helps clean teeth and reduce plaque. Once it wears down to a small size, simply microwave it into a crunchy yak puff treat — zero waste, maximum value.
What is the story or origin behind this chew?
Kathmandu's Natural Dog Chew is produced using an ancient recipe of the people living in the high altitude of Nepal (Himalayas). The smaller variant of this hard cheese, locally known as Churpi, is still used as a protein-supplemental human chew in the Himalayas and is free of chemical preservatives and foreign additives. Our dog chew is a larger variant of Churpi that keeps your dog happy and busy for hours.
How long does our yak chews last?
Most dogs need several chewing sessions to finish a single yak chew, even if they're aggressive chewers. Unlike many other chews, ours never lose their flavor, so your dog stays engaged for longer-lasting enjoyment.
Are yak chews safe and easy to digest?
Yes! Made from 100% natural, single-ingredient sources with no artificial colors, flavors, chemicals, or preservatives, our chews are highly digestible. They're designed to soften and break down gradually as your dog chews — rather than splintering like many rawhide or bone-based alternatives.
Do yak chews leave stains or color behind?
No! Since our chews contain no artificial dyes, they won't leave any color or stains behind. They're completely mess-free and safe around your pet's fur, carpet, bedding, and furniture.
Are they suitable for puppies or large dogs?
Yes! We offer multiple sizes so you can choose the right fit for your dog's breed and chewing strength. As with any chew, select an appropriate size and supervise your dog while chewing — especially puppies and powerful chewers.
I'm not sure what size chew is right for my dog. Can you help?
We offer 7 sizes to match your dog's weight, so every pup gets an appropriately-sized chew:
Small(1-1.5oz) - Under 15lbs
Medium(1.9-2.3oz) - Under 30lbs
Large(3-4oz) - Under 55lbs
X-Large(5-6oz) - Under 80lbs
Jumbo(6-7oz) - Under 90lbs
Mega(7-8oz) - Under 100lbs
XXL(8-10oz) - Over 100lbs
If your dog is between sizes or a particularly aggressive chewer, we recommend sizing up for a longer-lasting chew. As always, supervise chewing sessions regardless of size.
What safety precautions should I keep in mind while my dog is chewing?
Our Chew provides a hygienic and safe option compared to bones and other chewing treats for dogs. Like similar products, including chews, rawhide, or bones, there is a risk of choking if swallowed and a possibility of breaking or chipping a tooth. It is essential to always supervise your dog during chewing activities and ensure they have access to plenty of water. If you observe any potential risks, stop using the product immediately.
What is the proper storage condition for the chew?
Store in a cool dry place. Do not refrigerate.
What's the difference between Yak Chew Nuggets, the Cheese Topper, and Yak Cheese Puffs?
Yak Chew Nuggets are bite-sized, long-lasting chews perfect for dedicated chewing sessions.
Himalayan Yak Cheese Topper is a powdered form you can sprinkle over your dog's regular food for added protein and flavor.
Crunchy Yak Cheese Puffs are light, crunchy treats — the same puffed texture you get when you microwave leftover chew pieces, now available ready-to-serve.
