Himalayan Dog Chew / Safe Alternative to Raw Hide Bones

Himalayan Dog Chew


Processed & Packaged in the USA 
 

What is Himalayan Dog Chew?

In the Himalayas, the chew comes from an ancient recipe that is used by the locals to create a long-lasting snack that they can slowly work in their mouths while they are working in the fields. 

Guaranteed Analysis

Crude Protein Min 52.6%. Crude Fat Min 0.9%. Ash Max 6.0%. Moisture Max 10.2% 

Ingredients

100% Yak and Cow Milk. Salt and Lime Juice. 

Why is it so special?

Himalayan Dog Chew is a very hard chew. Although cheese, it is sometimes popularly reffered to as Concrete, Glass, Wood and Metal. Depending on the size and eating habits of the dog, this is a very long lasting dog chew that you can find. Dogs must work the end of the treat for hours, softening it with their mouths before small parts of it can be slowly scraped off. 

Himalayan Dog Chew is 100% natural with no preservatives. It is an authentic type of cheese eaten by the people of the Himalayas. When you give this chew to your dog, you know that you are providing them with hours of high quality eating entertainment. 

We, here at Himalayan Dog Chew, believe very strongly in the potential for this product to become a household name, and we look forward to sharing our discovery with other dog owners. If this has piqued your interest or you have any further questions about Himalayan Dog Chew, please do not hesitate to contact us.

How is Himalayan Dog Chew made?


We have created a consortium of roughly 900 farmers in the Himalayas of Nepal. These farmers are trained, given 5-6 months ahead notice and are paid right away to produce the Himalayan Dog Chews.

Here is how, the chews are made using the ancient recipe and techniques, that is still prevalent in the Himalayas.

Each Farmer has 2-5 cows and yaks that they milk everyday, using traditional method, without any modern devices. The cattles are fed all natural leaves from the forest and graze on natural pastures where present. They collect roughly 6 gallons to make 2 pounds of Himalayan Dog Chew. On average, each farmer makes about 20 pounds per month.

The milk is boiled for 4-5 hours. The hot milk is poured into a hand-cranked centrifuge device, some using more traditional methods, to remove all the fat. The fat is boiled to make local butter called “Ghee”, and are sold as a separate commodity. The fat-free milk obtained is used to make the Himalayan Dog Chew.

Once the milk has cooled down, it is treated with 10 ml of lime juice and 10 mg salt for about 100 gallons of milk. The sour of the mild acid coagulates the milk and the salt speeds up the process. The solids are then separated using a burlap sac, which is washed several times using warm water to remove the whey, and any hints of salt and lime juice.

The solids in the burlap sac is then subjected to squeezing for about 3 weeks, when the cake obtained contains at most 5% moisture. They use bricks as weights and shaper, with sac of moist chew in the middle.

The cake is then cut to size and prepared for cooking under the sun and smoke for 2-3 months. They are strung through ropes and hung for drying/cooking.

These chews are collected from the farmers and brought into our warehouse, which are sorted for quality. The best 10-15% are retained for Himalayan Dog Chew, and the remaining 85-90% are either sold in local market (in Nepal) for human consumption and other purposes.

The chews are further cleaned using buffing machines and lime juice, and cut to size, then packaged and shipped to dealers from our facility in Washington State.

Where are they from?

Most of our Himalayan Dog Chew (made with Yak and Cow Milk) comes from the shaded region (in the map to the right) of the Himalayas in Nepal. Remaining come from a Dairy Farm (made with Cow Milk) in Moses Lake, WA. 

30% of the total work is done by the farmers who milk the yaks and cows, turn them into cheese, and cook them under the sun and smoke. 

10% of the work is done at our facilities in Kathmandu Nepal such as quality check, cleaning and sorting. 

The remaining 60% of the work is done at our facility at Mukilteo, WA such as resorting, dehydrating, cutting, packaging and shipping.

Get Your Fix! / Free Spay and Neuters for Pit Bull and Rottweilers / A Rotta Love Plus


A Rotta Love Plus  ~ Get Your Fix!


Free Spays and Neuters for Pit  Bulls and Rottweilers

Get Your Fix! aims to reduce the number of homeless and abandoned pets in our community by providing free spays and neuters to pit bulls and Rottweilers. The overall goal is to reduce the number of pit bulls and Rottweilers in local animal controls that are euthanized due to pet overpopulation. We know that proactive spay/neuter programs are the only way to end pet overpopulation, especially the overpopulation of pit bulls.
If you live in Minneapolis or St. Paul and would like to schedule an appointment for a FREE spay or neuter for your pit bull or Rottweiler, call 651-649-4451.

"I was looking for an apartment that I could live in with my pit bull, but the place that I found said that my dog had to be spayed before I could move in. The apartment manager gave me A Rotta Love Plus' information and I called them to get assistance with the surgery, because I couldn't afford it. ARLP set me up with an appointment and my dog and I will soon be moving into our new home!"  - Recent Get Your Fix! client

Our Philosophy
Get Your Fix! targets neighborhoods with an abundance of needs - where resources and financial means are not often available to spay, neuter, vaccinate, and microchip pit bulls and Rottweilers. The fairs are not just about altering pit bulls and Rottweilers, but about being a resource for a community in need of help and an advocate for dogs who face long odds of surviving. ARLP appreciates the opportunity to be present in the community, to make a direct impact on the Rottweilers and pit bulls in the Twin Cities and to establish long-term connections with their owners.    
                       
Get Your Fix! Fairs
GYF VaxIn addition to providing free spays and neuters throughout the year, during the summer months ARLP holds Get Your Fix! fairs, which provide additional services to Rottweilers and pit bulls:
  • free spays and neuters
  • free DHPP and rabies vaccinations ($5 donation suggested)
  • microchips for only $10
  • free, sturdy collars or leashes (in exchange for handing in old, fraying leashes/collars or heavy chains). High-quality collars and leashes reduce the number of runaways and strays that are picked up by Animal Control.
  • advice and owner support
In 2012, ARLP held 5 Get Your Fix! fairs. 
2013 Spay/Neuter events dates are:

Feb 9th
Feb 26th
March 19th
April 13th
May 11th
 

Please check back for more dates.
For more information call 651-649-4451 or e-mail michelle@arottalove.org.

Why should I spay or neuter my dog?

  • You want your dog to live a long and healthy life
  • You want to help reduce the pet overpopulation problem - every year a HUGE number of pit bulls are euthanized (put to sleep) or suffer as strays
  • Dogs that are spayed and neutered are easier to train, to control, and they maintain stable temperaments
  • Less mess - your spayed female will not go into heat 
  • Save money - puppies are expensive
  • No more escape artists - neutered males are less likely to escape a home or yard in search of a female.
  • For more information, check out this excellent Fact Sheet from Even Chance rescue.
Your Support Makes Get Your Fix! Possible

"You all do a wonderful thing. I love my pups and you made it possible for my pit bull to get spayed and live a healthier life. Thank you all for what you do." - Pamela H., Get Your Fix! client
Individual donations are the lifeblood of ARLP's Get Your Fix! efforts. If you are able to donate to this effort, please visit our Razoo page. Your $50 donation will provide one spay or neuter surgery, the equivalent to saving the lives of about 53 dogs that would otherwise be born in unwanted litters, but any level of contribution is deeply appreciated. To those who have already contributed: YOU are responsible for the success of this program, and we are so very grateful.
