Himalayan Yak Snak Dog Chew - Assorted Size 3 Pack - Hard Cheese Snack Chews for Your Dog or Puppy Made from Yak Milk - All Natural - No Preservatives - Healthy - Limited Ingredients (Assorted 3-Pack)

UPDATE 09/01/2017For grins I took the biggest piece which I thought was still a choking hazard and placed it in the 700 Watt microwave for 60 seconds. I needed an extra 60 seconds for the whole thing to puff up about 4 times the size it was. After it cooled it was much easier to break apart into pieces the dog could manage w/o choking.UPDATE 08/19/2017Last night, our dog had the first piece in her mouth and was walking across the tiled kitchen floor with it and dropped it. It was probably about 16-18 inches off the floor if that, and the big piece split into two pieces, one about 2x2 and the other about 2x3. I think the 2x3 is probably still safe for her but am worried that the small piece may not be safe. Unlike the antlers which she has dropped before I am worried if she drops another one and it shatters.We put the 2x2 chunk into a zip lock bag and placed the sealed bag on a cardboard box and then used a small hammer to whack the 2x2 chunk into smaller pieces. Eventually we had about 30 some small pieces (some as small as 1/4 x 1/4", others as large as 1/2" x 1/2" and then microwaved them 60 seconds at a time on a 700-watt setting for 2 minutes in all. The larger pieces came out very light in weight and after they cooled were very crunchy for the dog. She loves them. The 2x3 piece is still large enough for her to hold and sink her teeth into. When it gets smaller we'll microwave it too.08/15/2017 - Original Review:We have an 18-month old American Wheaten Terrier (that weighs around 35 pounds) and last night I held one of these "treats" out to her. It took her about a minute or so to sniff the treat but she wouldn't take it. I feigned eating it and gave her another chance to take it and this time she licked it and put her mouth around it and eased it out of my hand slowly, then went to her usual spot on the carpet and lay down with the treat between her paws.After about an hour she'd managed to whittle down to the two sides and was loving her treat. Since there is no place to bury it in the house, she put it on her mattress and put two pillows over it "mine". Message received. In the morning after breakfast she went back to the pillows to retrieve her "treat".We're going to limit her to about an hour in the evening and an hour in the morning in the hopes they last longer, but she's sold on them. I did read another review which said that when the pieces start to get small enough to soak them in water for an hour or two before placing them in the microwave in order to prevent burning. We'll try that when the time comes. This morning I placed an order for 2 more packages and hopefully these treats last her some time.Thank-you JimHodgesDogTraining

A little expensive but seems worth it.

As I am sure many Shark Tank fans were, I was interested in the yak cheese treat after seeing it on Shark Tank. Much appreciated the introductory discount to try the snacks. I have a 118 lb. 2 yr old Great Pyrenees and a 9 year old, 75 lb. Grt Pyr/Golden Retriever mix, both registered therapy dogs. Both were immediately interested in the snack and both immediately began chewing on them. Although both are certainly hard chewers, they are not aggressive chewers who would not put a chew down until it was completely gone. They will get up and walk away from them, trade and/or share chews, food, rawhides and treats. The first day they both broke off "modest" sized chunks that probably were not but could be of a concern for choking even given their sizes. I removed those 3 pieces. Both snacks were gone by the second day. So I would agree that they liked the snack but not overly excited. They get more excited about sweet potato jerky treats. For me the price is more than I am comfortable paying on a regular basis for a treat that may last only a day or two, even as a very occasional special treat. However, my greatest dissatisfaction with the snacks related to the multiple tiny, sharp chips that were left behind all over the rug where the dogs were chewing. I was not concerned with any choking hazards with these tiny chips but they were painful if you stepped on them barefoot and I really did not like having to vacuum several times during those two days to remove the fragments. For these reasons, I do not believe that I would order them again but was glad I had an opportunity to try them. I am giving a description of the pros and cons of my experience with this dog treat. Just do not believe it is the right treat for my dogs and my home. There was quite an involved enclosed instruction sheet with dos and don'ts. I am honestly not comfortable with a dog snack that I feel compelled to monitor so closely for the safety of my dogs. And yes I know that even rawhides (not made in China) need to be monitored to a certain extent. Decisions such as these are very personal for any dog owner, and I believe it is very important that the owner knows their animal "inside and out" in order to make an informed decision about whether these particular snacks would be right for their dogs.
