The debate between natural and processed dog treats is more than a trend—it’s about health, ethics, and transparency. Natural treats like dehydrated meat, yak chews, and plant-based biscuits, offer limited ingredients and fewer additives.

When choosing a toy for a heavy chewer, look for keywords like “indestructible dog toys,” “durable chew toys,” and “safe dog enrichment.” Avoid plush toys with weak seams or squeakers that can be swallowed.

From an ethical sourcing perspective, yak chews often come from sustainable Himalayan farms, making them a more environmentally conscious choice. Pet owners increasingly seek natural, additive-free products, and yak chews meet that demand. However, safety should always come first. 

Yak chew treats originate from Nepal, where local herds-people in the Himalayas needed an easy way to get a high-level of protein for themselves. The yak chews we give to our dogs are based on the same, simple recipe - just milk, lime juice and salt!

So now that we know what yak chews are and where they come from, how healthy are they for our dogs? 

Don't underestimate the role that treat pastes can play! Treat pastes are often multi-functional, and can help to:

1. Train your pet by using the paste as a recall reward, or by stuffing it into a dog toy and placing it into your dog's crate to create bedtime routines. 
2. Administer medication - crush tablets or mix liquid medication into treat pastes to ease the process of administering medication and reduce stress. 
3. Ease grooming routines by being a reward for good behaviour or helping your pet to relax.
4.  Encourage fussy eaters - treat pastes are a great addition to dry kibble!
   
5. Engage your dog in interactive and engaging play!
