Himalayan Dog Chew Original Yak Cheese Dog Chew, 3 XL/Large Sticks, 3.3 oz, Gluten Free, Healthy Dog Treats, Grain & Lactose Free 100% Natural, Long Lasting Chews for Dogs Under 65 lbs

My dogs LOVE these!! One of my dogs is a chewer and constantly needs to chew on whatever she can find. I need to offer her things likethe cheese bones so she stays away from my daughter’s toys, lol. I do buy bigger sized bones compared to what they recommend because she chews on them so much and they last a good week or two! I’ve been buying these, oh gosh, probably for a good 2/3 yrs now and have never been disappointed with quality! It’s also fun to take the little pieces they break off and soak them in water and microwave them so they turn into a big cheese puff! They love those too!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These are the absolute best dog “bones” for aggressive chewers. It stimulates my golden and keeps her busy chewing appropriate things. She loves the hardened cheese and these last her several days.

My dog loves these!! The flavor and the hardness is perfect. I swear he could be a tester for anything that says it’s chew proof. These last a little longer than most. They do not have a smell that I notice, like rawhide or hooves. He’s a good boy when he sees the bag for sure!!

I almost left a 3 because the ad says XL and these are large they are 5” long the XL are 7” . My dog loves them but be careful the first one she was able to break off a small piece with sharp edges. I was afraid she would choke on.Three for $26 with tax for this size is expensive I’ll shop around more next time.

My Lab loves these and they last longer than many treats. She is able to completely eat them, but it takes her 45 minutes to an hour. Seems to be really good for their teeth.

These really clean my dogs teeth because they are so hard.. last a long time.

We order these for our frenchie, he loves them, and we order them, usually a couple bags at a time. The past two orders(of a couple bags each), I have noticed two different smells.1st Smell: when I opened the shipping Amazon envelope(blue and white padded ones), there is a pungent and in your face odor of dryer sheets or some kind of air freshener. I assumed(feeling silly now after doing my research) in the beginning that it might have just been stored in a warehouse next to something that has this odor. I assumed that the bags were sealed so it couldn’t harm our little fur-buddy. But now I’m realizing, it’s to cover up the second smell(below) and to say I’m concerned is putting it lightly, as he has been getting these chew sticks for months.2nd Smell: Several weeks after they arrive, it’s usually time for us to open a new bag. Upon several occasions, I have opened the bag and been met with a crazy chemical or organic matter smell. It was hard to say without knowing what it was and again, we assumed given the ingredients(cheese, salt and lime juice) that it might have just been a natural reaction and we assumed because our dog was still interested in them the same way he was a treat, that it probably was safe(because it didn’t taste like chemicals- naïve, I know). After reading the other reviews from purchasers, I agree, it could very well be a mold or mildew smell. Needless to say, we won’t be ordering these from Amazon again until they change their return policy, especially when the reason is questioning the SAFETY of an item. I have always had good luck with Amazon customer service so I am at a loss as to how this could go unchecked. I would assume that if more than a couple people are coming forward to say something is wrong with the product, they would want to figure out what’s happening.Just a couple further details- I have received several variations in the color of the cheese chews, ALL with this smell. They do vary in size, appearance, and durability. The most common two variations in our experience are: a) Some are very light yellow, long and skinny and they chip into big sharp pieces. Or b) they are a dark greyish yellow/brown, they feel much more dense and are thicker/shorter. They do not seem to chip, but they do seem to be harder to chew. Our frenchie(heavy chewer), only seems to finish the lighter/less dense/but unfortunately ones that chip.I hope this was helpful to someone. Please Amazon, figure out what the smell is, for the safety of our fur-friends!

This is the second time I’ve purchased these. My dog loves them but this time she was able to break off three small pieces within 30 minutes of me giving it to her. I took it way because I’m afraid she’ll choke. Has this happened to anyone else? She’s a pitbull (so strong chewer) but this didn’t happen the first time I bought them.
