Description
Medium Yak Bars – The Traditional Himalayan Dental Chew
Our Medium Yak Bars are a premium, ancient treat for the modern dog. Made in the Himalayas using 100% natural cow and yak milk, these chews undergo a rigorous drying process for several months to reach their signature hardness. This result is a vegetarian-friendly, nutrient-dense reward that is far more durable than standard dental sticks or pressed bones.
A Healthy Choice for Sensitive Stomachs
While many dairy products can be difficult for dogs to digest, Yak Bars are different. During the traditional production process, the milk is turned into cheese and the lactose is removed (leaving less than 1%), making these bars exceptionally gentle on the digestive tract. They are naturally rich in Calcium and Protein, supporting strong bones and healthy muscle maintenance while your dog enjoys their favorite past-time.

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!
