We want to encourage our dogs to chew because of all these great advantages, but we want to make sure that our furry friends are chewing safely.
Processed rawhide treats are a commonly used chew, however, they do have some drawbacks. Rawhide can contain small quantities of toxic chemicals and bacteria which could make your pet sick and rawhide can be irritating to the stomach in some dogs, as the product can be hard to digest.
In recent years many industry professionals have shined a light on the hazards that processed rawhide ‘treats’ can contain. If you’re looking for a healthy, safer alternative for your pup, there are plenty of other options now available.

YAKERS find their origin in the hills of the Himalayas. Originally made for human consumption, they are still widely eaten by the Himalayan people and their dogs. They are made from a mix of skimmed Yak and Cow milk. A very small amount of lime juice and salt is added to coagulate (harden) the milk, which is then compressed into blocks and smoke dried for 28 days to give the chews their unique flavour.
Depending on the size of your dog – as well as how determined he or she is – YAKERS can be an extremely long-lasting treat.
The hard texture means dogs need to soften and work at the treat before they’re rewarded with small pieces to chew off. So you get to keep them happily entertained for a lot, lot longer. You can also put the small end pieces in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds until they puff up. Allow to cool and then give back to your dog to finish the treat.
