Mighty Paw Yak Cheese Chews for Dogs - All-Natural Long Lasting Pet Treats - Odorless Limited-Ingredient Chews for Puppies & Power-Chewers (Medium, 4 Pack)

When my dog was 2 he had emergency surgery for swallowing sharp bone pieces and them puncturing his stomach and intestines. He is nearly 11 now, but it has made me extremely vigilant about what he is allowed to have. He is a chewer, so not really into toys, which makes it even harder. I love these. They are highly digestible, don’t break into huge sharp chunks, and he LOVES chewing on them. He is a heavy chewer, and even these last him quite awhile- they are pretty durable. I still monitor him pretty closely, but I am more comfortable with him having these without me constantly watching him. They are on the pricey side, so I don’t buy them constantly, but i think they are mostly worth the money.

I will continue to order these. They last longer then 3 days around here! It's so fun when they get so small you microwave them and they are big and crunchy treats! Doesn't give my food sensitive pup a tummy ache.

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.

*** 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 dog loves them! Keeps her busy and happy. Easy to pop in microwave and cook the last inch into a crispy crunchy treat.

These are the only bones my dog gets and he loves them. Because of his health needs he will sometimes gaurd things so he does not get real bones. These are tasty and durable enough for a moderate to sometimes a little bit heavier chewer.

This chew is an absolute godsend for us. Our 12 week old Staffy puppy is an ultra strong chewer and has been wearing us out getting into and chewing EVERYTHING. He has plenty of chew toys of all sorts but none of them hold his interest long before he’s back to chewing things he shouldn’t. Other edible chews he would tear through in under 5 minutes. Enter the Yak Chew. He absolutely loves it! It holds his interest and holds up well to his constant chewing. He just had a 30 minute chew session with it and it barely looks touched. As others have said the size of the chew can be inconsistent, but I don’t mind that. It’s a natural product not made with a mold. It has zero smell and my dog loves the flavor. My product was fresh. Very effective at keeping him occupied. This is the start of a long relationship with Yak Cheese Chews!

My dog loves these yak chews—they keep him busy for days and are a great treat. Each stick lasts a decent amount of time with constant chewing, which makes them a solid value. That said, they do chip and leave a bit of a mess. Be warned: when your dog leaves random pieces lying around, the sharp edges feel like stepping on shards of Legos. IT HURTS. A LOT. Despite that, I keep buying them because my dog enjoys them so much. Just be sure to keep an eye out for leftover bits on the floor

They last long and I personally don't really need to watch my dog while eating as he's not greedy enough to choke so I don't really get the chance to feed him the puff but its a fantastic treat that does him for a week

Mon petit chien les aimes beaucoup mais ils sont très cassants, si on l’échappe par terre il se casse en deux….

I first tried these yak sticks for my dog a couple years ago because they were more affordable than getting them at the pet store. I didn’t like them but I couldn’t remember why. Fast forward two years…the yak sticks I liked were discontinued so I ordered this brand again. It took about 3 minutes to remember what the problem is. They are not strong and my dog easily bites chunks off it. Luckily I supervise him very closely when he has one so I’m usually able to pick up the large pieces that he breaks off. I tried to protect the stick with a holder but it was useless since the yak sticks crumble into large pieces that could very easily cause a blockage in their throat or a blockage in their intestines. I’m throwing the rest of the bags away and might stay away from yak sticks for awhile

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 !

Good for power chewers. We let our dog have it for about 20-30 minutes. Lasts a few days. Just watch for when it gets small.
