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.

  • No additives or preservatives
  • No grain or gluten
  • No rawhide

Ingredients: Cow milk (99.9%), lime juice, salt

Nutritional Benefits

  • High in protein, supporting muscle growth and repair
  • Provides essential amino acids
  • Contains naturally occurring vitamins (A, B, C & K)
  • Provides minerals such as phosphorus, zinc, and selenium to support overall health

Who These Yak Bars Are Best For

  • Puppies from 8 weeks+
  • Puppies new to natural chews
  • Dogs that destroy softer treats too quickly
  • Owners wanting a long-lasting, low-odour chew
  • Dogs with sensitivities to grain or gluten

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Yak Bars safe for dogs?

Yes. When given in the correct size and under supervision, Yak Bars are safe for most dogs. They are tough but not brittle, making them suitable for controlled chewing. As with any long-lasting chew, always supervise your dog and remove small end pieces when they become a choking risk.

Are Yak Bars suitable for puppies?

Yes. Our Yak Bars are suitable for puppies from 8 weeks of age. They are a popular choice for puppies learning to chew, as they last longer than softer treats, are low odour, and encourage calm, focused chewing behaviour.

How long do Yak Bars last?

Yak Bars are designed to last significantly longer than most natural treats. Chew time will vary depending on your dog’s size, age, and chewing style, but many dogs enjoy them over multiple chewing sessions rather than finishing them in one go.

What are Yak Bars made from?

Our Yak Bars are made from just three natural ingredients: cow’s milk (99.9%), lime juice, and salt. They are produced using a traditional process where the milk is pressed, set, and air-dried over several weeks, removing almost all lactose and creating a hard, durable chew with no additives or preservatives.

What size Yak Bar should I choose?

Choosing the correct size is important for both safety and enjoyment. As a general rule, always choose the largest size appropriate for your dog. Small: small puppies and small breeds Medium: small to medium adult dogs Large: medium to large dogs X-Large: large to giant breeds If in doubt, size up rather than down.
