Himalayan Chew

Tonight chew of choice was the Himalayan Dog Chew. This chew is bascially a hard block of yak and cow's milk. At over $7 a pop, I saw a bit skeptical of the value. So I decided to try it for myself. Here are my staff's reviews:



Moose had no interest whatsoever. He pushed it away with his nose and wanted nothing to do with it.



Phoenix found it to be quite the enjoyable toy. She had a grand old time throwing it in the air and play bowing at it. She tried chewing it once but decided it was more fun to fling. I think it was too hard for her liking.



Lola loved it. She really got into chewing it at first. After a little while she started getting more easily distracted. It was a lot of work for very little pay off. After about an 1 hour and a half of chewing she had barely made a dent in it. Unfortunately, I had to take it away since her teeth were starting to bleed from it. When I took it way she did follow me upstairs staring at it, as if to say "Hey ma, I wasn't done with that."







Overall, I am pretty happy with the chew. Nothing has ever lasted Lola an hour and a half, plus there is still plenty more left to chew. I am somewhat disappointed that it made her gums bleed and in the future I will be taking it away sooner. Also, I am not sure how often I will be buying these since 2 out of 3 dogs had no interested in chewing it, but I think if your dog likes it, it seems worth the price.

  2. we like these because they're a non-beef chew that last longer than, say, 10 seconds..... and since roxy's got beef allergies, they're a must-have around here!!

  3. Naomi, yes. The 3 pack of large/jumbo was the best price at BBS.
