Tatty Yak Bar Pumpkin Medium Natural Flavoured Dog Chew

Tatty Yak Pumpkin Bar – Medium

Pumpkin is one of the flavoured bars in Tatty Yak's range, and it is usually the one that wins over a dog that has sniffed a plain yak chew and walked away. The chew itself is the same dried, pressed yak milk; the pumpkin is there to get a fussy dog started.

This is the medium bar, which Tatty Yak rate for small to medium dogs up to collie size. Once a dog has committed to it, the flavour stops mattering — what keeps it going is the hardness, and that is identical across the range.

Performance & Benefits

• Pumpkin flavour, which often gets a reluctant dog started where the plain Original does not.
• Same hard, slow-going yak chew underneath as the unflavoured bar.
• Medium size, rated by Tatty Yak for small to medium dogs up to collie size.
• Tatty Yak describe their chews as odour free and mess free, which is what makes them usable indoors.
• The last stub puffs in a microwave in seconds and comes back as a crunchy treat.
• Tatty Yak say the chews are high in protein and work at tartar as the dog gnaws.

Suitable For

• Small to medium dogs up to collie size, which is Tatty Yak's own rating for medium.
• Fussy dogs that have turned down a plain yak chew.
• Crate settling, car journeys and quiet time indoors.
• Owners rotating flavours to keep a dog interested in the same chew week after week.
• Not enough chew for a large or determined dog — Tatty Yak rate Large for dogs up to mastiff size and XL for giant breeds.

Feeding

• Give it to a settled dog and stay in the room while it is being worked on.
• Take it away once it has worn down to a swallowable piece.
• Puff the final stub in a microwave for a few seconds and let it cool right through before returning it.
• Keep fresh water available throughout.
• Count the chew as part of the day's food rather than an addition to it.

Composition & Analysis

• Tatty Yak describe their chews as made from just three ingredients and as 100% natural, with pumpkin as the flavour on this bar.
• Tatty Yak publish no ingredient list, no analytical constituents and no bar weight on their website, so no composition, protein figure or gram weight is stated here.
• Tatty Yak state the chews are produced in a factory that handles nuts.
• Medium size. Pumpkin is one of Tatty Yak's flavoured bars alongside apple, coconut, mango, peanut butter, honey and peach.

Care & Caution

• Very hard. Not for a dog with existing dental damage, and not for a habitual crunch-first chewer, without a vet's view.
• Supervise every session and take the bar away at the point it becomes swallowable.
• Milk-based, so not for a dog that reacts to dairy.
• Produced in a factory that handles nuts.
• Puffed pieces come out of a microwave very hot. Let them cool fully first.
