Three ingredients: yak milk, lime and salt. The recipe is genuinely old, a traditional Himalayan method of preserving milk through a long smoke-and-dry process, and it happens to produce one of the hardest, longest-lasting chews a dog can have.
These are made by hand in the highlands of Nepal using that same method. The milk is curdled, pressed, and then dried and smoked over weeks until what is left is rock hard and almost entirely moisture-free. There is nothing added to preserve it, because the process itself is the preservation.
Each chew averages around 70 grams, which is the medium size, suited to medium and large dogs. This is a 25-pack, so it works out considerably cheaper per chew than buying them individually, and they keep for a long time given how dry they are.
Why dogs stay with them
Genuinely long-lasting. A determined chewer works one of these for a long time. The dog softens the surface with saliva and gradually wears it down rather than breaking pieces off.
Three ingredients, nothing else. Yak milk, lime and salt. No grain, no binders, no preservatives, no flavourings.
Very low odour and no mess. Unlike most animal-based chews, these barely smell and do not leave grease on carpets or furniture.
Naturally very low lactose. The traditional process removes most of the lactose, which is why many dogs who do not tolerate dairy well handle these without trouble.
Reusable cotton bag. The pack comes in a cotton drawstring bag rather than plastic, which is useful for storing the remaining chews.

Do not waste the last piece: when the chew gets down to a stub, microwave it for around 45 seconds and it puffs up into a light, crunchy treat that is easy to eat and safe to finish. Let it cool completely first.
Chew safely: these are hard, which is the point, but hard chews carry a tooth-fracture risk for aggressive chewers and are not suitable for dogs with damaged or fragile teeth. Supervise every chew, and take the stub away or puff it once it is small enough to swallow whole.
