Why do you microwave yak chew?

Microwaving yak chews, also known as Himalayan chews or yak milk chews, is a common practice among dog owners to soften the chew and make it more palatable for their pets. When microwaved, yak chews become softer and more pliable, allowing dogs to chew on them more easily and enjoyably.

Microwaving yak chews can also help release the natural flavors and aromas of the chew, making it more enticing for picky eaters or dogs who are hesitant to try new treats. Additionally, microwaving the chew can help soften any sharp edges or rough spots, reducing the risk of injury or irritation to your dog's mouth and gums.

To microwave a yak chew, simply place it on a microwave-safe plate and heat it on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the size and thickness of the chew. Always monitor the chew closely while microwaving to prevent overheating and ensure it doesn't become too hot for your dog to handle.

After microwaving, allow the chew to cool for a few minutes before giving it to your dog to prevent burns or injuries. Once cooled, your dog can enjoy their softened and flavorful yak chew to their heart's content!
