If you're curious to learn about the benefits of this tasty cheese, how it's made, and some tips, read on!
The benefits of yak cheese
- Long lasting: Yak cheese sticks generally have a long shelf life. We cannot provide exact figures for how long they will last, as this will depend on the strength of each individual dog's jaw and how much interest the dog shows in the treat.
- Contributes to oral hygiene: the chewing action of yak cheese also promotes dental health by reducing the accumulation of tartar and plaque, which contain acid-producing bacteria. It also cleans their tongue, freshens their breath, and fights bacteria in their mouth.
-
Keeps your dog occupied and soothes them: this yak cheese stick will keep them busy during the day. Chewing releases endorphins (the "feel-good" hormones) in our beloved canines. This hormone secretion reduces stress, has analgesic properties (suppressing or reducing sensitivity to pain), and promotes happiness.

Nutrient-rich: Yak cheese for dogs is a low-fat, low-carbohydrate treat that provides a significant amount of protein. It's also rich in magnesium, calcium, and antioxidants. It's tasty, and most dogs tend to love its flavor! Yak cheese is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve the health of your dog's skin and coat.
- Lactose-free, grain-free, and gluten-free: We now know that grains and gluten force a dog's pancreas to work long hours to produce the amylase necessary for carbohydrate processing. This process weakens the digestive system and exhausts the dog's body. Regarding lactose, just like in humans, lactose-intolerant dogs can experience flatulence and diarrhea. Yak cheese contains no grains, gluten, or lactose.
- Natural Probiotic : Himalayan yak cheese is a natural probiotic that can improve your dog's digestive health. It has the ability to boost a dog's immune system, prevent allergies, and increase the absorption of other nutrients. If you're looking for an alternative to commercial pet food, Himalayan yak cheese could be the solution for you (or rather, for your dog).

Quick tip
When your dog has finished chewing their yak cheese stick, we suggest removing the remaining piece before it becomes large enough for them to swallow. The advantage of this chewing activity is that you can transform the leftover piece into a crunchy treat. Simply microwave the remaining piece of yak cheese for 60 to 90 seconds, which will change its texture and make it easily edible once cooled (no waste!). You'll have delicious puffed yak cheese treats.
