How to Safely Use Yak Cheese Dog Chews

 

Yak Cheese Dog Chews Safety

At WollyWag™, your dog’s safety is our top priority. While our Himalayan yak cheese chews are 100% natural and digestible, proper usage ensures both enjoyment and safety. This guide outlines how to choose the correct chew size, supervise your dog during chewing, and handle small leftover pieces responsibly.

Why Chew Safety Matters

Yak cheese chews are dense and long-lasting treats made from natural ingredients. However, like all chews, incorrect use may result in choking, dental damage, or digestive issues. Responsible use is essential to protect your dog’s well-being.

Choosing the Right Chew Size

Choosing the correct size chew based on your dog’s weight significantly reduces the risk of choking or swallowing large pieces. Refer to the following guide:

Dog Weight – Recommended Chew SizeAlways select a chew size larger than your dog’s mouth to ensure safer chewing.

Supervise Your Dog While Chewing

Supervision during chew time is essential for safety. Always observe your dog while they chew. Remove the chew immediately if it becomes sharp or broken. Take it away once it becomes small enough to be a choking hazard, typically less than 1.5 inches.

How to Use Small Leftover Pieces

Small leftover pieces should not be discarded. Instead, they can be safely repurposed into a crunchy treat by following these steps:

  1. Soak the piece in warm water for 3 to 5 minutes
  2. Microwave it for 30 to 45 seconds until it puffs up
  3. Let it cool before giving it to your dog

This process prevents waste and provides a safer, enjoyable alternative for your pet.

When to Avoid Yak Chews

Yak chews may not be suitable for all dogs. Avoid giving these treats to dogs that:

  • Are under 3 months of age
  • Have weak, damaged, or sensitive teeth
  • Are sensitive to dairy (yak cheese is low in lactose but not lactose-free)

For young puppies or sensitive chewers, we recommend exploring our puppy-friendly chew options.

Chewing Safety Guidelines

 

Best Practices

  • Always follow the chew size recommendations listed on the packaging
  • Microwave small leftover pieces as directed to convert them into a puffed snack
  • Store chews in a cool, dry, airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent mold growth

What to Avoid

  • Do not reuse old or soggy chews as they may develop bacteria
  • Avoid letting multiple dogs share a single chew, as it may cause stress, territorial behavior, or bacteria transmission
  • Do not offer hard chews to dogs recovering from dental work or suffering from dental injuries
