Yak chews exist because of Himalayan Dog Chew. The brand pioneered the category in the US market, introducing a centuries-old Himalayan tradition — hardened yak and cow milk cheese — as a long-lasting, all-natural dog chew. Before Himalayan Dog Chew, the options for long-lasting chews were largely rawhide and synthetic alternatives. Himalayan Dog Chew changed that, and the category they created is now one of the most popular in natural pet retail.
The chews are made from yak and cow milk, lime juice, and salt — nothing else. No preservatives, no artificial ingredients, no rawhide. Just a hard cheese block that dogs work on for hours, softening and breaking down over time into small, digestible pieces. When the chew gets small enough to be a choking risk, you microwave it and it puffs into a crunchy, airy treat.
At Dog Dish, we carry Himalayan Dog Chew's original yak chews and their yogurt sticks. Ships anywhere in the US for a flat $4.99.

Himalayan Dog Chew Original — Yak Cheese Chews
The original yak cheese chew in the size that fits your dog. Hard, long-lasting, and fully digestible — a fundamentally different chewing experience from rawhide or synthetic alternatives. Dogs work on these for hours, and the chew softens gradually as they go rather than splintering or breaking into sharp pieces.
Available in multiple sizes — matching the right size chew to your dog matters for both safety and how long it lasts. As a general guide: small for dogs under 15 lbs, medium for 15–35 lbs, large for 35–55 lbs, and extra large for 55+ lbs. When in doubt, size up.
The puff trick: when the chew gets too small to chew safely, wet it and microwave for 45–60 seconds. It puffs up into a light, crunchy treat your dog can finish off safely. Zero waste.
Himalayan Dog Chew Yogurt Sticks
A softer, more treat-like format from Himalayan Dog Chew — yogurt-based sticks available in multiple flavors including peanut butter, bacon, and more. Less intensive than the original chew, more interactive than a standard treat. A great everyday option for dogs who enjoy the dairy-based flavor profile of the original but want something they can go through at a normal treat pace.
Why Yak Chews?
Rawhide has well-documented safety concerns — it's processed with chemicals, can swell in the digestive tract, and the pieces that break off aren't easily digestible. Himalayan yak chews are the opposite: minimal ingredients, fully digestible, and they break down safely. For dogs who are aggressive chewers or who need something that lasts, they've become the gold standard recommendation at Dog Dish.
