They have an tough, hard texture which makes them an extremely long lasting treat. When dogs chew on a yak bar, they gradually soften and small morsels come off which makes them a natural dog chew that lasts and retains your dog's interest. Yak Bars are made using traditional methods by combining cow milk with a small amount of lime juice and salt. This creates a 'cheese' which is hardened and dried over 28 days. The hard blocks are then cut to size and can be given as a healthy dog chew in the shape of a yak bar. Traditionally yak bars were made with skimmed yak milk but nowadays, suppliers often use cow milk which is more readily available.
