Large Yak Bars – The Healthy, Natural Alternative to Rawhide
Our Large Yak Bars offer a premium chewing experience that is as nutritious as it is durable. Based on an ancient Himalayan recipe, these chews are made by boiling milk, which is then dried and smoked for several months to achieve a unique, rock-hard consistency. This Large version is specifically sized to provide a substantial challenge for medium and large dogs, ensuring they stay engaged and satisfied.
Healthy Teeth and Gums
Oral health is vital for your dog’s overall wellbeing. As your dog works to soften the Yak Bar with their saliva and teeth, the abrasive action helps to physically clean the teeth and massage the gums. Unlike many commercial dental sticks that are consumed in seconds, a Yak Bar is a sustained dental tool that can last for days or even weeks depending on the intensity of your dog's chewing style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size yak bar should I get for my dog?
As a general rule, choose a bar that is longer than your dog's muzzle. For small dogs under 7kg, a Small (30-40g) bar is best. Medium dogs (7-15kg) should use a Medium (70-80g) bar, while Large dogs (15-30kg) require a Large (100g+) bar. If your dog is a power chewer, always size up one level for safety.
Are yak bars safe for puppies?
Yak bars are generally safe for puppies over 4 months of age once their adult teeth have started coming through. Always supervise chewing to ensure they don't swallow large chunks.
What do I do with the small end piece of the yak bar?
When the bar becomes small enough to be a choking hazard, take the end piece and soak it in warm water for 5 minutes. Then, microwave it for 45-60 seconds. It will puff up into a crunchy, safe cheese treat!
