Mighty Paw Yak Cheese Dog Chews - All-Natural Treats for Dogs - High Protein Treat with 68 Grams of Protein Per Chew - Delicious and Long Lasting - Limited Ingredients - Monster 4 Pack

These are great chews for dogs. I have two aggressive chewers, and they LOVE them. They last longer than any other healthy chews that I know of. These are not cheap, but the most reasonable in price that I have found.

It's lasts long and my dog loves them!

With all the questionable chemicals and processes that go into dog consumable products (and no apparent regulation or legal oversight), how can you argue with a 3 ingredient dog chew? (Be aware that they can vary slightly in color.) I was worried my puppy might not be interested in these hard, pretty boring looking sticks, but something about the yak milk, lime and salt does appeal to her, and we are always astounded when we find her busily chomping away, after our initial panic of "where's the dog?? - she must be off destroying something!" Each time I buy them, I get a larger bag, it's a very good value for the free time and peace of mind it provides. These things last a good long time, but when she sets her sights on it she can destroy one in about a day or two. As recommended, I take them away from her when they get to be about a 2" nub, because they can start splintering. Although the instructions say you can soak them in water overnight and then nuke them to turn into edible "puffs", I didn't find this to be the case. So far I've tried soaking for about 24 hours, but they really don't soften up. I have a little Tupperware bowl that's quickly filling up with these, so I'll probably try again because I hate to throw out something potentially usable. If I have any success, I'll update here. One other word of caution, try not to let your dog leave these on hard floor surfaces - if you happen not to see one lying there and accidentally step on it, it's worse than being a horse on ice skates! En garde!

As a mom to a high-energy dog, I’ve tried every chew on the market, and these Yak Cheese sticks are a total game changer. Most "long-lasting" treats are gone in ten minutes, but these actually keep my pup busy for a good hour or more. What I love most is that they don’t have that nasty, artificial smell that lingers on the carpet, and they don't stain. They are quite hard, so they’re great for aggressive chewers, and I love that the ingredients are simple and natural. A huge plus: when it gets down to a small nub, you can pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to puff it up so it's not a choking hazard. Definitely a household staple now.

*** Update 1/10/23 So far even with issue from first post, these seem the best and safest option for my super chewer. Since original post, tried out some bully sticks and found them more expensive and she got through one in minutes, not days. As far as these go compared to bully sticks they last way longer and don’t smell bad ( bully sticks do). After she went through the first four yak chews chews in original bag, I’ve ordered more. Changed to four stars from 3 because they are safe, she gets to eat all of chew so no waste, and they engage the heck out of her. These are a good product. Still wish the price was lower but this brand seems to be a good buy compared to most, especially as these are really solid and last a while. **** Original review: So went out on a limb and spent what I feel is a LOT of money for dog chews - $6 bucks each - But we recently adopted a GSD 7 month old puppy who is a serious superchewer - has destroyed all toys but her kong, and puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. When the package of chews first came, I got a little ticked off looking into the bag (see pics) because it made it look like they weren't the same size - but after investigating, they are all approximately the same weight, just not the same length/shape. Only one of the chews in the bag looks like the ones on the advertising pics. Not consistent, and since this is a formed and cut item, I was expecting each one to be pretty uniform. From the pictures I've included, you can see the short one especially is very square, which brought on another issue - pup was very interested in the chew, but when she tried to chew it, lost interest very quickly as the corners and sides were sharp and seemed to hurt her mouth. Tried it out with her sage older buddy (4yr. old GSD) and got the same reaction. Interest turned to 'no thanks'. So I took the short chew out to the garage, used a very sharp, large chisel and shaved down the corners and edges so they weren't sharp anymore. Not only did Cali decide the shavings were tasty, she then really gave the chew a go. I'm a bit skeptical, as this chew is very hard, seems harder or at least analagous to a Benebone which we had for her, which we didn't buy a third after reading their site recommendations for chew levels at which to discard (basically you pay about $12 for about two day's worth of chew if you discard at the point their website says is safe), and realizing she was just ingesting thousands of little sharp nylon shavings with them. So we bought these hoping they'd last, and be a lot safer. I'm holding my judgement on the chew until she's had more time with it, as I'm not sure I like how it sounds on her teeth (may be too hard?) and the way it is breaking down so far ... smallish chunks/shards like if you bite on a hard candy were coming off... was hoping more like meal, crumbles, not sharp bits. We will see. ** Update 12/20/22 She loves these things, and they do soften up after she has a go at them for a bit and do become soft crumbles. They are lasting about 3 days each, that is about 2-3 hard core chew sessions per day. Once shaved the sharp edges down she goes to town on it. I put one end in her kong to keep the end bit from becoming a choking hazard. Have had to get that bit out with tools (screwdriver on small end, pliers on big) but it keeps her safe. Followed the directions of soaking the end bit in water, then microwaving - makes a weird hard kind of puff - more like a large very rigid pork rind - and she loves those too, but warning - they make a god-awful mess. So far, these are the best edible chews I have tried that are digestible and safe. I feel like that makes this type of treat worth it - and is probably saving our furniture, which would cost more than these admittedly.

My pittie loves these but of course I have mixed feelings. Ultimately I gave them 5 stars because if he loves them I love them. BUT, do I wish they weren’t so expensive? YES. Do I wish they lasted longer? YES. But having said that, he’s an aggressive chewer, every toy becomes a chew toy and stuffies are no longer allowed in the house, they are a roomful of floof in 5 minutes. These chews have lasted longer than anything else we’ve given him. I’ll time the next one I gave but he takes it right to his private spot and works at it for maybe half an hour. I did take the nub away from him and microwaved it. That was kind of fun to watch, it had a slight smell but certainly nothing like some reviewers have written, and I gave it back to him when it cooled down so he could finish it. I really like the ingredient list too. And I’ll be ordering again but I’m definitely going to have to limit how often he can have one due to the $69 for 12 chews price tags.

I've got a 15 week old puppy and these have SAVED us!! They do fracture a tad more (hence only 4 stars) than the ones I've gotten at Pets Mart but the more affordable price tag + quantity makes that much more with it to me. My little guy loves them and will just sit at the end of our bed and chill while he chews.

Long-lasting, firm texture with even crumbling, as opposed to uneven shards, quality ingredients, easy on my dog’s sensitive stomach, and he LOVES the taste! Very satisfied!

My dog loves them, but they don't last long. Excellent customer service to support the product.

These are great chew sticks ! my dog loves them and I'm not afraid of him chewing on them ( vs a ordinarly chew toy where he may swallow plastic or the rubber bits ) and when it gets small it comes with the instruction how to make it into a crunchy snack !! my dog is about 50lb collie/cattledog/ausie mutt and it last him about 2-3 weeks ( depends if he looses it in the house or not ) he's not a toy destroyer but does enjoy chewing on sticks and the nylar bones given to him ( were not a fan of them) so this was a great way to keep him entertained and safe !

My dog has crones and cannot have protein. These are great. No dog has had Yak milk so no allergies! Great for their teeth!

These yak chews are loved by Léon, my Rottweiler, who has a strong need to chew. This brand lasts longer than any others I’ve tried. They don’t crumble into sharp pieces, which makes them safer. I always come back to this brand because the quality is consistent.
