Question 1

Where are these made?

Accepted Answer

Hi,I just spoke to a very nice customer service rep at the company itself.  The chews are made from yak milk, cow milk, a little salt, and some lime.  The 'chews' were originally, and still are made for human consumption in Nepal.  The way they came about as a dog chew is that a man was making his 'chews' and he dropped one and his dog loved it!  So, the Himalayan Dog Chew is made in Nepal by Nepalese yak and cow farmers who have been very well trained in how to make a treat that is up to our standards here in the U.S.  They have their headquarters in Washington State and in fact the owners are from Nepal.  If you'd like to read more go to their site at: www.himalayandogchew.comBy the way, my vet sells these in her office too a little more spendy though -- Also, I'm happy you asked your question, my Josi is due for a new package!  Best wishes for a Great Holiday and a very happy dog!  Joni

Question 2

How long are these? Could they be broke or cut in half to make 2 out of 1? I have multiple dogs and it may be less expensive to do that rather than buy them all one or a smaller one each. Especially since it would be their first one and don't know who will like/dislike them, or have a reaction to them, ie, tummy ache, …

Accepted Answer

they're each approx 6 inches long.  You're def not breaking these by hand.  It may be possible to cut with a good knife (or a saw would work)...i've never tried and don't have any on hand currently to try...but they are very hard, like a bone, and soften a bit as they chew.  I give to my 10 mo old 65lb pup for about 1/2 hour at a time and it will last about 4-5 "chewing sessions".  She loves them and chews diligently on them when provided.  Only allowing her to chew in 30-45 min increments, I've not had any negative bowel, stomach reactions :0)

Question 3

How long does one chew last? I have a moderate chewer (30lbs lab mix)

Accepted Answer

They don't last long for my 6 3/4 lb Pomeranian. She loves them, but she will finish an entire chew (the size recommended for the 65lb dog) in a day. So, you must only allow them to have this chew for an hour or two as the calorie content would be too much as a treat. They are a nice hard chew for dogs. Not as hard as an antler but they don't present the risk of breaking teeth that you will have with antlers or the risk of splintering that you can get from the deer and elk antlers (not so much with the moose flat antlers).

Question 4

I have had little success microwaving small pieces of these chews. Maybe one in tem puffs up. Any ideas why?

Accepted Answer

Hi! I would recommend microwaving it after your dog has chewed it down to about 2 1/2" inches or so....if it's a little damp it'll poof up better! But even so I've microwaved ones dry and they always puff up. Just micro on high for 15 second intervals until you see it bulge but not so long that it smells burnt. Also, I'd give it your dog initially with one end stuck in a Medium size Kong. It'll help them hold it better and also prevent any swallowing whole incidents that other people mentioned in their posts. We do this every time and haven't had any issues...enjoy!
