Collection: Himalayan Pet Supply

Himalayan Dog Chew is a hard cheese chew created by Himalayan Pet Supply using an ancient recipe from Nepal. It is made from just four simple, natural ingredients - yak milk, cow milk, a small amount of lime juice and salt. The milk is combined, compressed and then smoked over an extended period to create a dense, long-lasting chew. There are absolutely no preservatives, binding agents, artificial colours or flavourings added at any stage of the process. The result is a 100% natural treat that is high in protein, low in fat, and completely free from lactose, gluten, grain, soy, corn and wheat. This makes Himalayan Dog Chew an excellent option for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies, and for pet parents who want to know exactly what their dog is eating. At Canine & Co, we stock The Original Himalayan Dog Chew in Cheese, Bacon, Chicken and Peanut Butter flavours.

One of the biggest advantages of The Original Himalayan Dog Chew is that it is genuinely long-lasting - most dogs will enjoy hours of chewing from a single chew, not just minutes. The hard cheese texture means your dog works the chew slowly, softening it with their saliva at the ends rather than biting off large chunks. The exact duration depends on your dog's size, chewing style and enthusiasm, but many pet parents report that a single chew lasts significantly longer than rawhide, bully sticks or other popular alternatives. This makes Himalayan Dog Chew excellent value for money and a fantastic way to keep your dog mentally stimulated and occupied. When the chew is eventually worn down to a small nub that could pose a choking risk, you can microwave it for 30 to 45 seconds to transform it into a crunchy puffed treat - so absolutely nothing goes to waste.

The Original Himalayan Dog Chew and the Churro Dog Chew are both made from the same natural yak and cow milk recipe, but they differ in density and chewing experience. The Original is a hard, dense cheese chew designed for extended chewing sessions - it is the brand's longest-lasting product and is ideal for moderate to enthusiastic chewers who enjoy working on a chew over time. The Churro Dog Chew, on the other hand, is Himalayan Pet Supply's softest density option. It has a more pliable texture that makes it perfect for gentler chewers, puppies, senior dogs or any dog that prefers a softer treat. Churros are intended as a single-session chew rather than something to return to over multiple days. Both products are available at Canine & Co in Cheese, Bacon, Chicken and Peanut Butter flavours, so you can choose the right density and flavour combination for your dog's preferences.

Himalayan Pet Supply products can be suitable for puppies, but the right product depends on your puppy's age and chewing development. For young puppies and teething dogs, the Churro Dog Chew is generally the best choice because its softer density is gentler on developing teeth and jaws. The Original Himalayan Dog Chew is a hard cheese chew that is better suited to dogs with fully developed adult teeth. Regardless of which product you choose, always supervise your puppy while they are chewing and remove the chew if it becomes small enough to swallow whole or if your puppy is biting too forcefully. It is also important to select the appropriate size for your puppy's weight - Himalayan Pet Supply provides size guides to help you choose correctly. If you are unsure which product is right for your puppy, start with a Churro and see how they handle it before moving to harder options as they grow.

Choosing the correct size is important for both safety and enjoyment. Himalayan Pet Supply offers their Original Dog Chew in graduated sizes matched to your dog's weight, so always check the size guide on the product packaging or listing before purchasing. As a general rule, the chew should be large enough that your dog cannot fit the entire thing in their mouth - this reduces the risk of choking and encourages the slow, end-to-end chewing that the product is designed for. If your dog is between sizes, it is safer to go up a size rather than down. For dogs that are particularly enthusiastic or aggressive chewers, consider whether a hard chew is the right fit - Himalayan Dog Chew is designed to be worked slowly as it softens with saliva, not bitten through forcefully. Heavy biting can cause dental injuries. Browse the Himalayan Pet Supply collection at Canine & Co and check individual product descriptions for specific weight recommendations.

The microwave puff trick is one of the cleverest features of The Original Himalayan Dog Chew and is a big reason why pet parents love this product - absolutely nothing goes to waste. When your dog has chewed the hard cheese down to a small leftover nub that is too small to chew safely, simply place it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. The heat causes the remaining cheese to expand and puff up into a light, crunchy treat that your dog will love. It is like getting a bonus treat from every chew. A few important tips: only microwave the small leftover piece, never a full-sized chew. Let the puffed treat cool completely before giving it to your dog, as it will be very hot straight from the microwave. The puffed treat has a completely different texture to the original hard chew - it is airy and crunchy rather than dense - so it makes for a fun change. If you enjoy this concept, Canine & Co also stocks the Yaky Charms Cheese Puff, which are pre-made puffed cheese treats ready to serve straight from the packet.

Yes, all Himalayan Pet Supply chews and treats are made with a very limited, all-natural ingredient list and are completely free from many common allergens. The products contain no grain, no gluten, no soy, no corn and no wheat. They are also lactose-free - despite being made from milk, the traditional production process removes the lactose content. There are no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or binding agents in any Himalayan Pet Supply product. This makes them an excellent choice for dogs with food sensitivities, digestive issues or specific dietary requirements. The simple, transparent ingredient list - yak milk, cow milk, lime juice and salt for the original variety - means you always know exactly what your dog is consuming. If your dog has a diagnosed allergy, we recommend checking the specific ingredients of the flavoured varieties (such as Bacon, Chicken or Peanut Butter) to ensure compatibility, as these contain additional natural flavourings.

Himalayan Pet Supply was founded by the Shrestha family - Nishes, Suman and Sujan Shrestha - who emigrated from Nepal to the United States. The inspiration came in 2003 when Suman noticed Nishes giving his rescue dog a piece of churpi, a traditional hard cheese that has been made and eaten by people in the Himalayan region for centuries. Recognising the potential, the brothers spent four years researching and perfecting the ancient recipe, removing lactose and optimising the texture to create a safe, healthy and genuinely long-lasting chew specifically for dogs. They launched The Original Himalayan Dog Chew at a local farmers market in 2007, and the product quickly gained a devoted following. Today, Himalayan Pet Supply partners with thousands of small family farms in Nepal, purchasing milk daily to support the local economy. The brand is also committed to social impact - through the Manaram Foundation, a book is donated to a library in Nepal for every pound of cheese produced. When you buy Himalayan Dog Chew from Canine & Co, you are supporting a brand that genuinely cares about its origins, its communities and the quality of every product it makes.
