Chew and Treats for Small Dogs (under 15lbs)


How Are Yak Chews Made?

Our Himalayan Yak Chews are made using a time-honored recipe passed down by Himalayan farmers:

  • Gathering Fresh Milk: We begin by sourcing rich, wholesome milk from local yaks and cows.
  • Creating the Curd: We gently heat the milk, adding a touch of lime juice and salt to separate the curd.
  • Hand-Pressed for Firmness: The curd is then molded and pressed by hand, squeezing out every drop of moisture.
  • Curing to Perfection: We slowly smoke and sun-dry each chew for 3–4 weeks, locking in a savory flavor and creating a rock-hard texture.
  • Inspecting for Quality: Finally, we hand-inspect every chew to ensure its purity before packaging. The result: a perfect chew with zero additives or preservatives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chew and Treats for Small Dogs (under 15lbs)

These are the most commonly asked questions about yak chews by dog parents and their answers.

What size yak chew should I get for a dog under 15 lb?

Start with a Small yak chew intended for dogs up to about 15 lb, but check the physical fit rather than relying on weight alone. The chew should be easy for your dog to hold while remaining too large to fit completely inside the mouth. If your dog can get most or all of it into the mouth, size up.

Are yak chews safe for small dogs?

They can be used by some small adult dogs, but they are not risk-free. Yak chews are very hard and can potentially damage teeth. Avoid them for dogs with weak, damaged, or sensitive teeth, and use extra caution with puppies and senior dogs. Always supervise chewing sessions.

Can a small dog choke on a yak chew?

Yes. Choking risk increases when the chew becomes small enough to swallow or when a dog breaks off a large chunk. Remove the chew before it becomes small enough to gulp.

Are yak chews too hard for small dogs' teeth?

They can be. Dog size alone does not determine whether a hard chew is suitable. If your dog bites down forcefully instead of slowly gnawing, has dental disease, cracked teeth, or a history of tooth problems, a softer chew may be a better choice.

How long should a yak chew last a small dog?

There is no reliable number of hours or days. A gentle small dog may use one over multiple sessions, while a determined chewer may wear it down much faster. Chewing style, chew density, and session length all affect how long it lasts.
