Bugalugs Large Handmade Himalayan Cheese Bones, Extra-Hard Chews, 2 pcs, 182 g

Bugalugs Handmade Himalayan Cheese Bones (Large) are super-premium, 100% natural and exceptionally long-lasting Himalayan extra-hard cheese chews, specially sized for large and giant dog breeds. In short: Made to a traditional, centuries-old recipe in the foothills of the Himalayas, these authentic Himalayan extra-hard cheese chews are made from pure cows milk, which is carefully pressed and left to air-dry in clean air for at least 3 months. This precise process gives them remarkable density and strength, able to withstand the powerful bite of big dogs.

The chew is an excellent natural source of calcium and protein and mechanically cleans plaque and stubborn tartar from the tooth surface. The product is completely free from grain, gluten, artificial additives and chemicals, and carries the Made in UK mark.

Long-lasting occupation and professional dental care for big jaws

Large-breed dogs have enormous jaw strength and often destroy standard toys and treats in minutes, which leads to boredom and destructive behaviour at home. The large Bugalugs Himalayan extra-hard cheese chews are the perfect, safe answer to the natural urge to chew, providing hours and days of active mental occupation. The long curing process of the cheese reduces lactose to an absolute minimum, ensuring easy digestion without stomach upset.

Each Large chew is rich in essential vitamins A, D and B12 as well as vital minerals that support the strength of the skeleton, tooth enamel and immune system of large dogs. Thanks to its very low fat and calorie content, the treat is a great healthy alternative to chemically processed rawhide bones, without the risk of obesity. With Bugalugs you give your dog a clean, natural reward that effectively fights bad breath and keeps the mouth in excellent health.

Feeding instructions

Give as a complementary treat, for dental care or as a reward between main meals. Always choose the right large size for your dog's weight and strength.

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. The product design and the original label (Handmade Himalayan Cheese Bones) must be kept unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: Are these Himalayan extra-hard cheese chews safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs? Yes, completely. Thanks to traditional filtration during production, the whey is separated entirely, which removes the lactose. The subsequent 3-month air-curing makes the product hypoallergenic, light and very gentle on the dog's gastrointestinal tract. Question 2: How can I safely use the small leftover end of the chew? When the chew has been gnawed down to a small end piece, take it away so it is not swallowed whole. Put it in the microwave on high power for about 60-90 seconds until it puffs up fully like a big, crunchy piece of popcorn. Let it cool completely and give it to your dog – it gets a tasty and completely safe crunchy treat. Question 3: How long does a Large chew last with big dogs? That depends on the breed and bite, but thanks to their exceptional hardness and high density, these chews last many times longer than standard dental sticks. They usually provide active chewing for days or weeks.

Expert tip

Large dog breeds (such as German Shepherds, Labradors, Rottweilers or Cane Corsos) have extremely strong jaws and need serious mental stimulation so they do not turn destructive out of boredom. Offer these Bugalugs Large Himalayan extra-hard cheese chews when you want to hold your dog's attention for a long time – for example when you have guests or during thunderstorms and fireworks, as intensive chewing has been shown to reduce stress. Use the handy vet microwave trick for the last piece – it is a great way to eliminate the risk of choking and use the product down to the last crumb. For perfect oral hygiene, combine with the Bugalugs dental spray for dogs.
