Himalayan Dog ChewOriginal Yak Cheese Chew, Bacon, 1 X-Large Stick, 5.3 oz, Gluten Free, Healthy Treats, Grain & Lactose Free 100% Natural, Long Lasting for Dogs Over 55 lbs

The media could not be loaded. My dog loves this. She is a very aggressive chewer so bigger and thicker is better for her. These chews are very durable. She dropped it off of the sofa and broke it. We followed the microwave directions (on the package) and puffed the broken bits. She loved that even more. She played with it and chewed it. I kept an eye on her because I was worried about small parts and choking, but she did fine with it. The puffed version is a little messier, but she enjoys it so much and it keeps her busy so no big deal. I will order again.

My dog loves yaks in general and these with Bacon he cannot get enough of it, it is his go to chew. I like them because they are more natural and good for his teeth. He is almost 6 months old and never been a chewer other than his toys and he has had yaks and hooves and I want to get away from hooves and all yaks so I was looking for different varieties of yak so far this one is his favorite. You would be surprised as to how much he has chewed in such a short time. I think the best thing is after they get small you make a whole new treat with them!

I have a 9 year old Boston Terrier and a 1 year old German Shorthair pup. The Bostie is a light to moderate chewer, and the pup believes that EVERYTHING is a chew toy. He has destroyed SO many things that claimed they are for tough chewers but surprisingly these XL cheese bones are still around. Some parts of them broke off when the dog dropped them on a hard surface, but I just popped those parts that were too small for them to chew in the microwave and made a cheese poof for them as a treat. I love that you're able to do that with the pieces once they get too small. Other bones you just have to toss when they become small enough their a choking hazard, but these... a couple seconds in the microwave and poof, a yummy cheesy treat for my babies. I would highly recommend them for any dogs as they are very durable (just watch them if they drop it on a hard surface) but my pups still have at least half of each left and we've had them for a couple weeks now. I will definitely buy them again.

I love that I can see products at stores out in the wild, then go to Amazon and find the exact same products at a reduced cost. I bought this for my super picky dog. He refuses any rawhildes, dog biscuits, dog toys stuffed with noms, antlers, etc. I've tried bully sticks, peanut butter treats, dehydrated chicken breasts and sweet potatoes, but I just can't find anything to really hold his interest. One day I was browsing through our local independently owned pet supply store when I saw this interesting product. The chew itself it all natural, and apparently made through a collaborative effort with local Nepalese people. The chew is basically a petrified cheese made from yak milk. You would think that cheese this dehydrated and hard would stink with the force of a thousand rotten Roqueforts, but this product has hardly any smell at all. I unwrapped it from the package and showed it to my dog (75 pound Akita). He immediately took it in his mouth over to his bed where he gnawed on it for quite a while (nearly 30 minutes) before taking a break and deciding something else was more interesting. I like that I can give this to him and not have to worry about him swallowing pieces, since the whole thing is digestible. I store it in a plastic bag and offer it to my dog, usually during dinner or other at home mealtimes when I want him to occupy himself with something. I also let him have it when I know we will be leaving the house for an extended period of time. My only complaint about this product is that it does have the tendency to crumble into small pieces that then get embedded in our plush carpet. The combination of this product plus doggie saliva somehow seems to form this super-glue like bond to which a vacuum sometimes cannot conquer. I've found that a paint scraper works well to remove the pieces from our carpet. Since I don't see us installing laminate flooring or hardwood throughout the remainder of our house in the foreseeable future, I now just let him chew this either in his crate, or on our solid flooring surfaces, or occasionally outside. One thing that I find particularly interesting is that when this product becomes small enough that he could potentially swallow it, you can break it into smaller pieces to offer as a crunchy treat. I usually keep two of these on hand so that when one gets chewed down to a nub, I can give him the spare. I can then break the nubby leftover into a few small pieces, nuke them in the microwave, and turn them into a crunchy cheesy treat reminiscent of a cheese puff for my dog. A small piece expands almost 10x the volume once microwaved, meaning that a small 2 inch nub can be broken down so that it lasts quite a while.

Just one of these (Big Dog size) provides 1.5 months+ of entertainment to my miniature schnauzer puppy. Highly recommend to anyone with a chewer.

This product is DANGEROUS and should be removed from Amazon until product quality issues are addressed.The quality of this product has varied significantly over the last few years. When this product first appeared on Amazon (shortly after appearing on the TV show "Shark Tank") it was a long lasting high quality dog chew.Unfortunately, there have been significant issues with product consistency more recently, including:*Chew consistency is chalky (e.g. softer) and lasts 10 minutes (instead of hours)*Smoking process leaves excessive smoke smell, tainting the chew (chew smells like an ashtray)*Significant amounts of mold/spores present on the chew (visible inside the new, unopened package)*Chew is over dried (DANGEROUS) - when the chew is exposed to water (e.g. dog saliva) it forms cracks which chip off in to dangerously sharp piecesI cannot stress the importance and danger of the last issue. These chews become fractured (as shown in numerous pictures by other reviewers) , causing pieces of the chew to shear off. This appears similar to 'flintknapping' (the processed used to make arrowheads or sharp tools using rocks); the chips are both pointy and can have very hard thin edges (sharp). The chew continues to slough off pieces as the outer layers are chipped off. As other reviewers have mentioned, this can cause to the chew to disintegrate, leaving pieces too large to digest, but small enough to swallow.If you do decide to purchase this product (please don't), please first expose to the chew to warm running water for 1-2 minutes, then allow the chew to dry out. If you hear subtle cracking sounds (like pop-rocks) while the water is running or small cracks appear on the chew once it is dry, RETURN THE CHEW - IT IS DANGEROUS.

Long lasting

i have a large dog and it took him exactly five minutes from start to finish there was nothing left i will be continuing with nyla bone. nyla bone is well worth the money unlike this product lasts for ever unlike this product please do not do what i did and waster your money

My dog absolutely loved this and made sure to sleep on it so no one else would take it. Its just a bit too expensive for what it is. Definitely will only purchase it once in awhile as a special treat.

I decided to buy this himalayan treat for my dog for the very first time and my dog loved it! This chew kept my dog busy for awhile and she just loved the taste. It lasted a month and she loved how I followed the recipe for the remainder of chew, I heat it up and she loved this part as well! I will be ordering more as we were both happy with this chew, however it is very pricy I find so this is a special treat to order, but considering how long it lasts I was happy with the purchase, I took one star away for price point!

Dog loves this and still goes back to it. He loves yak treats anyway but this flavour even more and it has lasted a while.
