Calming Ashwagandha Yak Cheese Chews

A long-lasting natural dog chew made from yak and cow milk, infused with Ashwagandha extract for daily stress balance and calm behavior support. It lasts up to 6 hours, delivers 87% protein, and contains zero rawhide, zero artificial additives, and zero fillers. Available in Small (175g), Medium (280g), and Large (420g) to suit every breed and chew style.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, meaning it works by helping the body regulate its own stress response rather than forcing a sedated state. In dogs, it supports the adrenal system's cortisol regulation, which is the root hormonal pathway behind anxiety and stress reactivity. It has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years for exactly this purpose and is now one of the most researched natural calming ingredients in both human and veterinary nutrition. Delivering it through a chew your dog actively enjoys means the calming benefit and the calming act of chewing itself work together simultaneously.

Yak and cow milk, Lime, Salt, and Ashwagandha extract. Four ingredients total. The milk forms the vast majority of the composition. Lime and salt are present in trace amounts as part of the traditional production process. Ashwagandha extract is added as the functional Ayurvedic calming ingredient. No binders, no preservatives, no artificial colors, no flavoring agents, no rawhide at any stage of production.

The Ashwagandha Chew is suited for dogs that show stress or anxiety during separation from their owner, loud noises like fireworks or thunderstorms, travel and car journeys, visits to the vet or groomer, introduction to new environments or people, general hyperactivity and difficulty settling, and dogs that bark excessively or engage in destructive behavior when stressed. It works as both a daily calming routine and a situational enrichment activity during known stressful events.

Yes, at appropriate amounts Ashwagandha is safe and well tolerated by dogs. It has a well-established safety profile in both human and animal nutrition applications. The concentration in this chew is calibrated for safe daily use. Dogs with known thyroid conditions or those on thyroid medication should have their vet confirm suitability before starting, since Ashwagandha can have mild thyroid-influencing properties at higher doses.

When the chew becomes too small to work on safely, place it in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. It puffs up into a light, crunchy cheese treat your dog can eat safely as a reward. This applies to all three Yak Chew variants including the Ashwagandha version. Nothing is wasted.

Go Large regardless of your dog's size if they are an aggressive, fast chewer. The Large 420g chew provides the most dense, long-lasting experience for power chewers. Moreover, large breeds like German Shepherds, Labradors, Huskies, and Golden Retrievers are suited for Large size. It is also worth noting that with very aggressive chewers, all hard chews should be supervised, particularly during the first few uses, to ensure they are chewing rather than trying to bite off large pieces.

Small (175g) for dogs under 10kg. Medium (280g) for dogs between 10-25kg. Large (420g) for dogs above 25kg and strong chewers. For anxious dogs specifically, it's worth noting that a chew that is appropriately sized keeps a dog engaged for longer, which means more sustained calming benefit per session. If in doubt between sizes, go larger rather than smaller.
