The Himalayan Durkha Dog Chew has been prevalent among the people living in the high mountains for ages. It is long lasting as dogs must work the end of each treat for several hours until it starts to soften. The gnawing process helps clean the teeth while keeping them busy and entertained. After boiling yak milk, it is cooled down and centrifuged removing all the cream (fat). The fat free milk is now boiled and mixed with lime and salt for few hours until it coagulates. During this process, the lactose gets removed leaving just the protein making it digestible. The thick paste (cake) is spread over hemp cloth and squeezed extracting all the moisture typically pressed by rocks. This process continues for almost two weeks where the cake turns into a rock hard Durkha. The hardened Durkha is cut into different shape and sizes and smoked for four months to give it the flavor dogs just love. It is natural, preservative-free, gluten free, grain free, odorless, and protein rich long-lasting dog treat that is easily digestible and is great for teeth. It contains no soy, no wheat, no corn or any artificial color or flavor. Our dog chew is sourced from select yak and cow farmers from the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. The chew is quality tested by independent laboratories in Nepal and in the US to maintain and validate the overall quality of Durkha Dog Chew. The fat is removed at the very early stage of the production process leaving the fat content less than 4%. There is zero waste with Durkha Dog Chew. Simply microwave the leftover piece for 45 seconds, let it cool down for 2 minutes and give the yummy Durkha Puff to your dog.
