Himalayan Yak chew from Himalayas to PAWS!

The Himalayan yak chew, also known as chhurpi originated in Nepal. Yak chew has been around for centuries and if kept properly, it can stay fresh for up to twenty years. Yak chew was traditionally made with a blend of lime, salt, juice, and yak milk. Hence, the name yak chew. It is basically a hardened version of cheese. Nowadays, it is made with the milk of cows and buffaloes as well.

Yak chew can be handmade at home or prepared in a local community’s dairy. The process of making yak chew includes boiling the buttermilk and separating solid particles from a liquid by wrapping and hanging in a thin cloth to drain out the water. The end product obtained from the said process is soft, white, and neutral in taste and resembles the Italian ricotta. It is then left to ferment a little more to acquire a tangy taste. Soft chew is wrapped in a jute bag and compressed further to get rid of any remaining water and then cut into small pieces and hungover fire to further harden it. With its distinctive taste, yak chew has become a delicacy amongst the people of Nepal.

Soft yak chew is an excellent source of protein and can be consumed in various ways. It can be cooked along with green vegetables, and used as a filling for momos (Nepali word for dumplings). It can also be ground with tomatoes and chilies for soup as well. Being a source of protein, people in the mountainous region of Nepal still consume it as a substitute for vegetables.

Himalayan yak chew is mostly consumed by keeping it in one’s mouth to moisten, letting its part become soft, and then chewing it like a piece of gum. This way, one small cube of yak chew can last up to 2 hours depending on the type of chewer.

Even though chhurpi was originally made for human consumption, it has now become an excellent treat for dogs as well. The high protein content and tanginess of yak chew have made it a popular treat for dogs in western nations and are spreading globally.

Also, being on the affordable side, the dog owner can save money if they are on a budget especially because other treats on market have different variations depending upon age and breed but with yak chew, there aren’t such complications.

The market consists of many brands claiming that their products are 100% safe for dog consumption but contain chemicals in the formula of their treats. This makes them unreliable. Even if the chemicals are added in the minimum amount possible, there still arises a chance of it hurting the dogs. In this case, it is very important to check the content of the treatment that they are buying to ensure the claims of the brand are correct. The safest alternative to these would be to find an all-natural product, which happens to be yak chews. As mentioned earlier, these chews are made up of high-quality milk.  Even though it is made out of fewer ingredients i.e., lime, salt, juice, and yak milk, the amount of nutrition this offer is effective. In fact, this can be the very reason that the owners choose to buy it for their dogs.

Yak chews are free of any type of preservatives, additives, and chemicals. Not only that, but yak chews are also grain and gluten-free. These features make it easier for dogs to digest. It is especially beneficial to dogs that have sensitive stomachs. Although the main ingredient of these chews is milk and salt, the formation process of turning it into cheese removes or lessens the amount of lactose by the time it is turned into the finished product. This makes it lactose-free which is another good thing. The salt added makes the dog treat more enjoyable and flavorful.

Yak chews are also a safe alternative to plastic toys which can break and become a choking hazard. Besides plastic toys, it is also a better alternative to horn chews which are harder to chew on and can splinter and break into pieces causing pain and traumas to the gut. It is safer and more nutritious than many treats that are found on the market.

Yak chews are usually made through a careful process to make sure that they are safe to consume. Like any other treats and toys, it is always better to be safe than be sorry later on. Keeping an eye on the dogs can prevent anything from happening to them.
