When it comes to choosing the right chew for your dog, it’s important to know not just what goes into it, but how it’s made. MunchyYaks Dog Chews by FurFeast are a premium, all-natural option that are both healthy and long-lasting. These Himalayan-style dog chews are handmade using traditional methods passed down through generations, ensuring that each chew is of the highest quality.
In this blog post, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of how MunchyYaks Dog Chews are made, from the very beginning in the Himalayan mountains to the finished product you give to your dog. This detailed process helps ensure that your pet gets a nutritious, safe, and satisfying chew every time.
The journey of creating MunchyYaks Dog Chews begins in the pristine Himalayan region, where the conditions are perfect for raising yaks and cows. The first key ingredient is yak milk, which is rich in protein, calcium, and essential fatty acids. The cows, too, are raised in high-altitude areas, grazing on natural, green grasses that are abundant in these mountainous regions.
Yak Milk: The milk from yaks is a primary source of nutrition and has been used in the Himalayan region for centuries. It contains natural enzymes and beneficial nutrients that contribute to the chew’s health benefits.
Cow Milk: Cow milk is used alongside yak milk to create a balanced, nutrient-rich chew.
By sourcing milk from local, ethical farms, FurFeast ensures that the milk is free from harmful chemicals and preservatives, making it an excellent base for creating high-quality dog chews.
Once the milk has been sourced, the first step is to curdle the milk. The milk is heated and mixed with a small amount of lime and salt. This natural process separates the curds from the whey.
Lime and Salt: The use of lime and salt helps to solidify the milk, giving the chew its firm texture while also ensuring a longer shelf life.
Curdling: The curdling process transforms the milk into a thick, cheese-like substance, which is then pressed to remove excess moisture.
At this stage, the resulting curds are shaped into large blocks, ready to be further processed into chews. This step is crucial for developing the chew’s long-lasting texture, which is one of the reasons why MunchyYaks Dog Chews are so popular.
After the milk is curdled and pressed, the thick blocks of curd are cut into smaller pieces or sticks of various sizes. The shape and size of the chews depend on the desired product and the needs of different dog breeds and sizes.
Larger pieces are ideal for large dogs or strong chewers, while smaller pieces are better suited for puppies or smaller breeds.
The shaping process is done by hand, ensuring that each piece maintains the perfect size and consistency for your dog to enjoy.
At this stage, the chews are still relatively soft, but they will soon be subjected to the next phase, which transforms them into the hard, durable chews dogs love.
The most critical part of creating MunchyYaks Dog Chews is the drying process. After the curd is shaped and cut, the pieces are carefully dried over a period of several days or weeks. This step gives the chews their famous hard texture and long-lasting nature.
Traditional Sun-Drying: In the Himalayan region, the chews are often sun-dried to preserve their nutrients and create a natural, long-lasting product. The high altitude and dry air of the mountains make this the ideal drying method.
Slow Drying: The drying process is done gradually, allowing the chews to become firm and hardened without losing any of their nutritional value. This slow process ensures that the chew maintains its dense, long-lasting texture, making it ideal for dogs who love to chew.
The long drying time also contributes to the development of the chew’s flavor, which dogs find irresistible.
After the drying process, the chews are sometimes cut again to remove any rough edges or to ensure uniformity in size. At this stage, the chews are fully hardened and ready for packaging. This final shaping ensures that each chew is safe for your dog to enjoy and free from sharp edges or splinters.
Once the MunchyYaks Dog Chews are fully dried and shaped, they undergo rigorous quality control to ensure that they meet FurFeast's high standards for safety, taste, and texture. Each batch is inspected for consistency and durability to ensure that you receive only the best product.
The chews are then packaged in eco-friendly, food-grade materials to ensure they remain fresh and safe until they reach your dog’s paws.
