Why are some Yaker Dog Chews different in colour and why do they smell smokey? YAKERS are smoked in the Himalayas using traditional methods. Each chew is laid on drying racks and they dry through the use of traditional smokers. The chews are moved up in height weekly over a 4 week period as they dry so that they are further away from the smoker, so the difference in colour shouldn’t be too great, however a darker colour just means that they have had more smoke than others. This colour may vary slightly from batch to batch too.
Why do Yaker Dog Chews have simples on the sides? This happens when the cheese is being compressed into blocks as it is wrapped in muslin cloth.
Are Yakers high in fat as they are made from cheese? YAKERS are low in fat at only 5.2%, the cheese used is made from skimmed milk as all of the cream is removed as part of the process.
Isn't salt bad for dogs? Salt in large amounts is harmful for dogs as it is for humans. However in YAKERS we only use a tiny amount of salt along with lime juice to get the cheese to coagulate (harden) at the very start of the manufacturing process. The salt content in YAKERS is less than 0.1%.
Aren't dogs lactose intolerant? Not all dogs are lactose intolerant, but if they are there is less than 1% Lactose in YAKERS because both the Cream and the Whey are removed from the milk as part of the manufacturing process, meaning that the levels of lactose are very, very low.
