Are yak cheese chews worth stocking for a pet business? For many shops, yes: they're a hard, long-lasting chew made from a short list of ingredients, they come in five sizes so you can match nearly any dog, and buying by the count makes pricing easy. At today's prices on ValuePetSupplies.com, a medium yak cheese chew costs $4.60 each in a 25 count pack and $2.50 each in a 100 count pack, with free shipping to US48 street addresses and no account needed.
Bully sticks get most of the attention, but yak cheese chews fill a different spot on the shelf: a dense, low-odor chew that owners of strong chewers ask for by name. This guide covers what they are, which sizes and packs to buy first, what they cost today, and how the margin math works if you sell them one at a time.
What is a yak cheese chew, and who buys it?
ValueBull Himalayan yak cheese chews are sourced from Nepal and made from yak milk, cow milk, salt and lime juice. They're hard bars that dogs gnaw down slowly. Each one is a little different in shape and color because they're a natural product made the traditional way, so a quick shelf note saying "variation is normal" saves questions at the counter.
Who asks for them? Owners of dogs that finish a bully stick fast, owners who want a low-odor chew indoors, and shoppers who read labels and like a short ingredient list. That makes yak cheese a good fit for pet stores, groomers and daycares that sell at pickup, and online sellers building a natural chew lineup.
Which sizes should a business stock first?
Our product photos label each size by dog and chewer type. Most shops start with medium and large, then add the ends of the range once they see who walks in.
- Small: small dogs and light chewers.
- Medium: medium dogs and moderate chewers. Usually the best first buy.
- Large: big dogs and strong chewers.
- Extra large: large dogs and power chewers.
- Extra extra large: huge dogs and mighty chewers.
What do yak cheese chews cost by the count?
Buying by the count is simplest if you plan to sell single chews. Here are today's prices on ValuePetSupplies.com. All ship free to US48 street addresses.
| Size | Pack | Price | Cost per chew |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 25 count | $71.99 | $2.88 |
| Small | 100 count | $147.99 | $1.48 |
| Medium | 25 count | $114.99 | $4.60 |
| Medium | 100 count | $249.99 | $2.50 |
| Large | 25 count | $164.99 | $6.60 |
| Large | 50 count | $189.99 | $3.80 |
| Extra large | 25 count | $199.99 | $8.00 |

| Extra extra large | 25 count | $238.99 | $9.56 |
| Extra extra large | 50 count | $279.99 | $5.60 |
Cost per chew is the pack price divided by the count, rounded to the cent. In every size, the bigger pack brings the cost per chew down, so once you know a size sells, move up to the larger count.
If you sell by weight or bag your own mixes, chews also come in 2, 4, 6 and 10 pound bags. Here's medium as an example:
| Medium yak cheese bag | Price | Cost per pound |
|---|---|---|
| 2 pound | $71.99 | $36.00 |
| 4 pound | $115.99 | $29.00 |
| 6 pound | $162.99 | $27.17 |
| 10 pound | $257.99 | $25.80 |
How does the margin math work on single chews?
The table below uses today's pack prices and example numbers to show the math for shelf prices. Set your own prices for your market.
| Pack (price) | Your cost per chew | Example shelf price | Gross profit per chew | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small, 100 count ($147.99) | $1.48 | $4.99 | $3.51 | 70.3% |
| Medium, 100 count ($249.99) | $2.50 | $7.99 | $5.49 | 68.7% |
| Large, 50 count ($189.99) | $3.80 | $10.99 | $7.19 | 65.4% |
| Extra large, 50 count ($249.99) | $5.00 | $13.99 | $8.99 | 64.3% |
| Extra extra large, 50 count ($279.99) | $5.60 | $16.99 | $11.39 | 67.0% |
Margin is gross profit divided by shelf price. If you bag chews in-house, add the cost of bags and labels. Prefer packs that arrive ready to sell? We also offer yak cheese resale packs, such as a medium 40 pound case packed 5 bars per bag for $599.99 today. Stock on resale packs moves, so check our resale packs collection for what's available.
How do you display and sell yak cheese chews?
- Sort by size. Use a bin or bag for each size and label it with the dog size, such as "medium dogs" or "big dogs and strong chewers."
- Put the ingredients on the tag. Yak milk, cow milk, salt and lime juice. Customers who check labels will look for it, and owners of dogs with dairy sensitivities can skip them.
- Share the puff tip. When a dog gets down to the last small piece, it can go in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it puffs up, then cool for at least 2 minutes before serving. It's a fun selling point that also means less waste.
- Add the care notes. Supervise chew time, introduce new chews gradually, offer fresh water, and give no more than one bar per day once the dog is used to them.
- Store it right. Keep backstock sealed in a dry place at room temperature.

Our take
Yak cheese chews are an easy second chew to add next to bully sticks. Start with medium and large in a count pack, put the ingredients and size on the tag, and watch which sizes sell for a month. Then move your best sellers into the bigger packs, where the cost per chew drops the most.
