"These are a little too small for our 69lb little girl, so we donated them and bought the larger size. They were Perfect!"

— Alyssa

"My dogs did not like these at all. I was told by a friend that her dog loves them, so, I thought I'd give them a try. They smelled them and walked away. They did not like them at all. I tried putting it into their mouth and they spit it out. They might work for other dogs, but mine wanted nothing to..."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a durable, long-lasting chew treat, these yak cheese chews might not be the best choice. However, if your dog enjoys them and has no issues with the smell or size, they could be a decent occasional treat.
