Be ready to have your mind blown with this cool Yak Toy Yeti!
A True Yak Chew Handmade in the Himalayas!
TRY THIS 100% NATURAL NEPALESE HARD CHEESE CHEW
Achieve a state of ZEN through chewing
Give your dog a long-lasting, delicious, healthy chew that’s both a treat and a stress reliever. Handmade in Nepal at altitudes over 4,500 metres, these chews use ancient Himalayan recipes and a simple blend of yak and cow milk to create a tough, satisfying hard cheese dogs love.
Key Features:
- No chemicals, preservatives, or additives
- Extra tough for hours of chewing time
- No icky factor: doesn’t stain, splinter, or leave an odour
- Easily digestible and suitable for dogs of all ages (package recommends 12 weeks+)
- Rich in protein, low in fat to support a healthy treat routine
As your dog chews, saliva slowly softens the cheese, delivering a tasty yet odour-free, looooong-lasting experience. The hard texture satisfies natural chewing instincts and can help keep teeth cleaner.
This traditional yak/cow milk hard cheese has been enjoyed in the Himalayan region for centuries. Our chews are handmade in Nepal using time-honoured methods. (Curious? Read here how they are made!)
And now you can make them last even longer with our Yak Gulp Stoppers!
And how cool is this!? Pop the end bits in the microwave and make doggy hokey-pokey, you should try! Check out how..
You can also purchase Nuggets separately to puff them up if your dog isn't into the hard cheese, get Nuggets here. Or we even have already puffed Hokey Pokey Yak Puffs!
Natural product = natural variation
Because these are handmade, 100% natural chews, size and shape will vary. We group them by weight, not exact dimensions, so your piece may look different from the product photo while still delivering the same great chewing time.
Any questions: Read our FAQ here!
Ingredients: Yak Milk, Cow Milk, Citrus Juice, Salt
Feeding guide: Feed as a complimentary treat only. Always supervise chewing and provide fresh water. Remove small pieces if your dog attempts to swallow them whole.
Our puppy loves this chew so much we’ve caught her hiding it in places she’s not normally allowed (like our bed)! The same one has been going for a few weeks now so lasts a lot longer than other chews we’ve tried. It’s been great for her teething.
Thank you so much for the lovely review and the great photo! Happy to hear your puppy loves the chew enough to stash it in her favourite hiding spots. It’s wonderful to know it’s lasting well and helping with her teething, too.
Our greyhound has a very sensitive belly and can’t have bones, but these are perfect for her! No upset tummy, lots of chewing and no icky smells
That's fantastic to hear! So glad you found something that works so well for her! <3
Polly is making good progress on her large yak chew. She is an aggressive chewer and this is lasting well and keeping her occupied in the evenings. Have to keep her in or she tries to bury it with her treasures.
Haha, it's so funny how they do that when chewing it so much fun. But great to hear she treasures it like that! <3
At 7 months Bear has found the Yak chew keeps him happy and because it lasts longer than most other chews... it's keeping mum happy too. (And putting it in the microwave at the end is a crunchy bonus)
Haha, that face! Love it, so great to hear the Yak Chew is a winner for Bear! <3
Cosmo is pictured with his de-stuffer toy which is great for popping treats into and getting him to pull them out (much better than him de-stuffing his stuffed toys 🙈). He also has a Yak Chew and Bull Pizzle to chew on and is having a fantastic time going between the two - these are brilliant for a heavy chewer who will literally chew through logs/bones/concrete if given the opportunity. Also purchased some long lines and will test them out soon. Kiwi Canine is very reasonably priced, has a wide selection of products, and delivery is super speedy (my order was placed on 06/09 and arrived no more than 24 hours later - Christchurch to Auckland).
What a lovely review, Sarah - it's much appreciated!!
So glad to hear it all got there quickly and Cosmo is having a fab time with it. <3
I’ve never seen these boys be more into something than they are into these yak chews 🤩 Images of the happy customers depicted below.
That is SO GREAT! Love to hear that you found something really special for the boys <3
This chew is fantastic! Good for teeth and full of protein, and lasts for a long time! It is absolutely the best chew for our labrador Marley who is a heavy chewer and inhales other chews
Yay Marley, we loved the photo so much that it's now part of the product page. <3 Thanks so much for sharing :)
Sniffed it out the second it got home, 4/4 paws up!
Haha, they are not silly... always know what's in those bags for them. ;p
These are the best lasting chews. Usually a cannon bone only interests mine for a day and can be a bit tough on my 9 yr old lablie’s teeth. They are still chewing the last nearly ten days later. And not as gruesome as their usual bones they like to chew
That is an awesome review, so glad it's lasting your dog so long, that's perfect! <3
My dog loved this chew and keeps going back to it day after day (usually he likes chews for the first day and if he doesn’t finish it then gets sick of it). Will definitely be buying them again.
Awesome, so glad he loves it! And remember you can microwave the last bits for some doggy hokey pokey :)
My boy gets really itchy with red meat so can't have bones, he doesn't touch the non food bones, and all other chews get destroyed in 10min but the extra large one kept him busy for 3 different 45min stretches.
How lovely! What a nice positive addition to his life that he has a chew now that works for him. Thanks so much for sharing! <3
We bought this as a treat for our puppy to keep him busy on our holiday. He's a very heavy chewer and chews everything to pieces at home, so I was hopeful this would last him awhile. He's 11kg and I bought him the large chew so it would last him longer. It's been two days so far and he's chewed it on and off throughout both days and it's still going strong. Will definitely buy another one once he gets through this.
Yay, this makes us so happy! <3 Thanks for the review and great tip to go a bit bigger if you want it to last longer! :)
PS: Cute doggy!
This cheese chew lasts for ages and isn’t smelly. Which I appreciate when my dog chews in front of the heater. Microwaved the end piece and it puffed up and was like a crackly cheese puff.
We love this photo. And we love the Cheese Chews... thanks for the lovely review! :)
I love the yak chews but this one sounded a lot more brittle and a piece snapped off that was really too big for my dog to swallow I tried to put it into one of the grips but she got it out and swallowed it whole I was very pleased to see it come out in one piece the next day 😁 I should have put it in the microwave and blasted it so she had at least a treat. These do last a long time and she certainly hasn't got through it yet.
Thanks so much for your feedback! Really glad to hear your dog is enjoying the yak chew and that it’s lasting well. I appreciate you pointing out the brittleness on this one, sounds like it wasn't as nice as usual - great call on microwaving smaller pieces to make a safer, puffed treat.
My dog loves a good chew and gets through things pretty quickly. It took him a couple of days to really get into it, but once he did, he had a little chew each day. It lasted a good 10+ days. Well worth it and love the fact it’s not some synthetic plastic rubbish.
Love hearing that it lasted over 10 days and that your dog enjoyed working on his natural chew bit by bit.
My dogs are pretty good at devouring anything but one week in, they have barely made a dent. So far I am prettier impressed
So glad you’re impressed so far - sounds like your dogs have finally met their match.
My dogs are a 24kg heading cross and a 27kg pound special. They both got through 3/4 of an extra large yak chew each in 30 minutes. I took the chews off them as i felt like crying watching over $50 disappear so fast.
My dogs are good chewers, but not extreme. I do not understand how these could ever last for hours...
Thanks for the honest feedback. I completely understand your frustration - every dog chews differently, and some definitely power through them faster than expected, especially if they get really into the taste. I appreciate you sharing your experience.

Great product - keeps our spoodle very entertained! He holds it in both paws and makes lots of happy noises. Definitely reordering this product.
So glad the Yak Chews are a hit with your Spoodle! That sounds very cute <3
My mini schnauzer loves these chews. It takes him days to get through them.
So glad your mini schnauzer is loving the yaks - perfect combo of tasty and long-lasting. :)
this is literally the only chew that our older 9 year Kelpie cannot destroy! I bought the 2 pack and gave them each a chew. They choose to share one chew (bonus) taking it off one another - creating a game. Highly recommend.
That’s awesome! I love that your two made a little game out of it - so cute. It’s such a win when you find something that actually lasts and is a match for their chew style.
My dog loves these would totally recommend
Thanks so much! I’m really glad your dog loves them - and hopefully they last a while. :)
I think my dogs are too picky!! I can see the value of the yak chews as they last so long! My dogs lost interest after two days though 🥲
Ah, that's a pity. Sometimes it helps soaking an end in hot water for a bit to release the scent a bit more, but it's often also a case of removing the chew and bringing it back out at a later date.
We purchased these for our 14 week old Spoodle. She really loves chewing on it and it's lasted AGES! - still on our first one 2 weeks later and she's barely made a dent.
So happy your Spoodle is loving the Yak Chew—and even better that it's lasting so long!
Loved it but only lasted a week
Thanks for your review! Glad to hear your dog loved the yak chew!
Just to offer a bit of context: a week of chewing is actually quite a solid lifespan for a natural product like this, especially given that it's fully edible and designed to be a long-lasting, high-value treat. Durability can vary depending on the dog’s chewing style, but it sounds like your pup really enjoyed it to the fullest!
If you’d like recommendations for chews that may last even longer (even if not edible), please reach out to me directly.
