Decent chew. I was really excited to find a chew that’s supposed to be super long-lasting AND natural so I can feel good about giving this to my dog and enjoy some quiet time! Plus, my dog LOVES cheese and yogurt and anything dairy so I figured this would be a huge winner with her.Obviously since you’re reading this review you realize that this thing is pretty expensive. Ok…not PRETTY expensive, it IS expensive. Unfortunately it didn’t turn out to be quite the incredible new chew discovery I had hoped it would be.First of all, I am not new to dog chews. My fiance and I have an 80 lb Doberman who has had raw hides (in many shapes and sizes), bully sticks, tracheas and a bunch of other kinds I can’t even remember the names of. Since she is quite the spoiled little princess dog, she gets chews on a pretty regular basis and has learned to make quick work of chews that used to take her longer. Raw hides and bully sticks last the longest with her. She’ll usually work on it for an hour or so (maybe less) before wrapping it up and saving it for later. They usually last 2-3 sessions.Since this is supposed to be ultra-long lasting, I expected it to last longer than her raw hides and bully sticks. Well…in an hour (maybe a little longer…but only by 10 minutes at most), she had finished half. So pretty much that means it would last 2 hours if she ate it in one session. After half she decided she had enough and lef it for later. So really, this lasts no longer than her raw hides and bully sticks except it costs about 4x (or more) more. Granted the benefit of this is that it doesn’t smell (like bully sticks) and it doesn’t stain (like raw hides). However, I don’t think that benefit is worth all that extra money. Obviously this is expensive because of its source and the process for making this and I completely appreciate that…I just don’t want to spend money on that.Really though, if this was something she absolutely went crazy for, I’d say it’s still worth it to purchase for her (like I said…she’s spoiled)…but she’s not even that into this thing. I thought for sure she’d love it since it’s dairy-based but she’s pretty ‘meh’ about it I guess.It took her awhile to get into it. She was crazy sniffing and sitting for it when I first took it out to give to her but after she got it she spent quite awhile trying to find a place for it and then pretty much just left it there for a few hours. I figured it was because she wasn’t familiar with it and wasn’t sure what to do with it, but now I think it’s just that she has other chews she prefers. After she finished half to leave for later I was worried she would finish the whole thing in one day so I took it away for awhile. When I gave it back to her she pretty much just found a place for it and left it there…she’ll pick it up occasionally but not to chew. She likes to pick things up when she gets excited and that’s the extent of her interaction with this thing. Since then she has received a few other chews that she has chewed, left, and gone back to and finished…this one is still just sitting there.I’ll probably buy another one at some point in the distant future to see if she takes to it more (maybe it IS just a novelty thing with her) but really, this is no miracle ultra-long lasting chew…at least not for my dog. 2 hours is a good amount of time but there are other chews that provide the same chew time at a fraction of the cost.Oh…I should also mention that there didn’t really seem to be any adverse effects with this for my dog (stomach upset, diarrhea etc.).
I love that I can see products at stores out in. 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.

Truly a long lasting treat. I have a super muscular black lab who weighs 85 pounds, and a German Shepherd/Corb Shepherd mix (Romanian bear hunting and wolf hunting sheep herding breed, very big) who’s slightly bigger than the lab. They chew on them for about two hours at a time and then start arguing over who gets which bone so I take them away. I’ll give them back a day or two later for another two hours and then the same thing happens. So I would say they probably get a good 8 hours of chewing on these before I pop them in the microwave to puff up, when they are about 2 inches long. The minute they realize that’s what I am about to do they go crazy. It changes the texture of them and I think the heat just releases this smell that they absolutely love. But they come out of the microwave extremely hot, and not just on the outside. They have to cool significantly before I can give them back. So that does make my pups quite impatient. I pop them in the freezer and I know it’s safe within five minutes. Another thing I’ve noticed is that they enjoy playing with these bones as much as chewing on them. When I first gave one to my lab when he was seven or eight months old, he sneezed at it and tossed it around the room like it was alive and he needed to kill it first. That went on for days before he finally started chewing on it. Now that he has a better idea of how good it is he plays with it a little each time I give it to him, but then really gets to work chewing on it. My shepherd mix who just turned one still plays with it that way for a while each time I give it to her, and that’s not something she normally does with other treats or chew toys. She is strictly a chewer normally. I have purchased dozens of different types of treats for them online and in the store, and this is by far their favorite treat. It’s also the longest lasting treat. Everything else I buy that claims to be long-lasting, whether it’s a natural animal product or something factory made, is gone in half an hour tops. So in my opinion it is definitely worth spending a few extra dollars for these treats because they will outlast anything else I’ve tried and my dogs never get tired of them.

Keeps our dog occupied when quality is right. Updated based on most recent purchase:Based on all purchase I’m updating review averaging it out to 4 stars. She used to LOVE these and would last about 6 hours total and would keep her occupied immediately for when I needed to focus on work, received 1 that wasn’t quite right and lasted about 15 minutes, most recent has lasted the same as previous purchases like 6 hours or so but she’s also losing interest in them and lets them sit for days and just chews for short intervals. We don’t let her chew them inside because they require clean up but at least the don’t smell like some alternatives. Will purchase more just less frequently.Last Review:My dog loves these and this was the 4th or 5th time purchasing. They usually have a light color and last for hours but we received a dark one with little holes in it and within like 15 minutes our 9 month old puppy devoured it. I usually supervise and check on her every 15 minutes or so to see if it’s getting too small so I was shocked it was finished when I checked on her with yak cheese splinters all around her! Usually 1 lasts for about 2 three hour chew sessions before I take it away so I can work and she’s occupied…ordering again as the price can’t be beat at our local store, hopefully it won’t be an “old” or defective one again.

Great for hard chewers!!! And all natural ingredients. 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.
Dangerous Inconsistencies. 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.
Great for chewers. My dog is a very aggressive chewer. Besides bones and cow hoofs, these are the only chews that last him more than a day. My dog will get 5-6 hours of chewing out of this one himalayan. He’s a 28 pound dog but these are rated for 55+ pound dogs.They are pretty expensive but my dog loves them. So durability for the price isn’t great.
Quality is not consistent. My Lab loves these without a doubt. But the quality is never the same. She is 70 pounds and is an aggressive chewer. Sometimes she chews these apart and eats them within an hour (literally), other times they last a couple days. Ive purchased this 5 times, and 3 lasted a hour, 2 of them lasted a couple days.
Good product. Keeps 9 month old Labrador pup occupied.
ok. my husky is an aggressive chewer and he goes through one of these in two days, but he really enjoys them, so I’m giving it 4 stars. lol.
My Pup Loves This. 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.

Great Value, Long Lasting. 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.
Husky approved. 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!
Great. Keeps dog occupied 👍🏻🐾
Best pup purchase. Will entertain dogs for hours!!! Great item! Must buy for dog owners!

BEWARE — PLEASE SUPERVISE YOUR DOG WITH THIS BONE. XXXVery large bone. Will order again. My dog loves these. XXX***I am revising this review. I feel the production of this bone has changed. The last bone I bought was brittle, not crumbly. It immediately broke into brittle pieces as she chewed. I spent the night awake with my dog while she ate grass until she was able to vomit the pieces up. I will not be buying this product again. In the beginning it was more cheesy and crumbly, but it’s not the same now. Something has changed. I no longer feel this is a safe product for my dog.
GODSEND FOR AGGRESSIVE CHEWERS. My golden can tear apart an “indestructible” toy in 22 minutes or less (trust me, I’ve timed all of them). My friend turned me onto these and they’re amazing! My golden has been working on this (XL) for almost 72 hours and it’s barely half gone. I just now bought a 3 pack for my golden and german shepard (XL/L mix) and another 3 pack for the chiweenie (S) (they got jealous and would steal it from my golden). 2 of my 3 dogs have very sensitive stomachs too and this chew is gentle on them. These are my new BFF!
Worth every penny. Our digs are obsessed with these yak chews! They’re great for dogs who need the mental stimulation of chewing because of how long they last and we like that they’re made with natural ingredients. Love that they get to chew these and then get a cheese puff when they get too small to be a chew. Yay for no waste!
My dog loves them. Have a rottie who loves there. I love that they are safe and last.
My dog loves these. My dog loves these. Need I say more?
Himalayan Dog Chew Original Yak Cheese Chew Bacon. The Himalayan Dog Chew Original Yak Cheese Chew in the bacon flavor is an absolute winner for power chewers. The X-Large size is generous and long-lasting, making it a great choice for big dogs or pups who usually fly through treats in minutes. This chew keeps them occupied, satisfied, and mentally engaged.The bacon flavor is a big hit—dogs seem to love the savory scent, and it instantly grabs their attention. Despite being flavorful, the chew doesn’t leave greasy residue or strong odors around the house, which is a huge plus.Like all Himalayan yak chews, it’s made from simple, natural ingredients and is easy to digest when chewed down. It also doesn’t splinter, making it a safer alternative to bones or antlers. Once it gets small enough, you can microwave the leftover piece to turn it into a crunchy cheese puff, so nothing goes to waste.If you want a durable, flavorful, and natural chew that keeps dogs entertained, the Himalayan Dog Chew in Bacon (X-Large) is a fantastic choice. It’s a great investment for happy, busy, and satisfied pups.
Smokier looking and smelling then what I’ve gotten in the past, but she still went right after it. My dog absolutely loves these yak chews, especially from this brand. Fortunately, they don’t seem to bother her too much (she may get a little gassy from them, but it doesn’t bother her otherwise like it might some other dogs who get diarrhea.) I’m afraid to get other brands, as I’m afraid that she may get diarrhea from those. Usually I get the mediums which have been a cream color, not the color this is. This time it’s brown, almost the color that she is – she’s a red wheaten colored Irish Terrier. I don’t think this color affects the quality, as it did not look like it was moldy or anything other than like it was possibly smoked. It did have a smoky smell to it unlike the others that I have received in the past, but she went right after it. This particular one was just delivered a few minutes ago, and is XXL for breeds over 75 lb, even though she is maybe 30 lb at most. But you can see in the pictures how large it is in comparison. She is about the size of a smaller Border Collie, smaller than an Airedale. She just chews right through the mediums, so I wanted to get her something larger that might last longer. We’ll see how long this one lasts compared to the mediums. The bonus with these yak cheese chews is that the very last piece I don’t want her chewing because she might choke, so I stick in the microwave for about a minute after soaking for 5 minutes and it puffs up quite large and she loves that last piece even more.
The best. The best chew for my dog. We have tried other brands, but they don’t hold up to his aggressive chewing. These are great!
Awesome treat, lasts a very long time. Excellent treat, dog loves it and it lasts forever.
