A Safe, Long-Lasting Chew for Puppies Learning to Chew
Our Original Yak Bars for Dogs are crafted using traditional Himalayan-style methods to create a hard, durable chew that satisfies natural chewing instincts — without rawhide, artificial ingredients, or strong smells.
Designed with puppies in mind, yak bars are an excellent introduction to natural chews from 8 weeks+, while still being tough enough to keep adult dogs happily occupied.
Why Yak Bars Work So Well for Puppies
- Encourages calm, focused chewing, helping puppies learn appropriate chewing behaviour
- Tough but not brittle, making them suitable for developing teeth
- Longer-lasting than many puppy treats, helping reduce boredom and destructive chewing
- Low odour and low mess, ideal for indoor use
Yak bars are often chosen by owners looking for a natural alternative to synthetic puppy chews or softer treats that disappear in minutes.
Added Dental Benefits (Without the Hype)
While not a replacement for brushing, the firm texture of yak bars helps support dental hygiene through chewing, gently assisting with plaque and tartar reduction as part of a broader dental routine.
This makes yak bars a popular choice within our dog dental chews range, particularly for puppies and dogs that need a tougher chew.
Simple, Natural Ingredients
Our yak bars are made using a slow, traditional process: milk is mixed, pressed, set, and air-dried over several weeks. This process removes almost all lactose, making the chew virtually lactose-free.

Chew Time, Safety & the Microwave Tip
Yak bars are designed to last significantly longer than most treats, though chew time will vary depending on your dog’s size and chewing style.
Microwave tip: When around 2cm remains, place the end piece in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds. It will puff up like popcorn, creating a safer, crunchy treat and reducing the risk of gulping the final piece whole.
Always supervise your dog while chewing and ensure fresh water is available.
