EcoKind Gold Yak Dog Chews

I am beyond disappointed, im appalled. This recipe for a dog treat is meant for long term chewing. the pet parents buying these treats, myself included, are looking for something that’ll occupy their anxious or energetic pups while they’re unable to be outside. The yak cheese treats are brilliant when made by a responsible brand. Ecokind is not that responsible brand. The treats potential to focus their energy in an engagingly safe, positively challenging, excitingly enjoyable way for the pup & the pup parents lives is HUGE!! It doesn’t keep my pups attention for more than an hour or so because they are just quite difficult to consume. Id compare it to like hard candies for humans - it isn’t easy to chew and requires a lot saliva to begin breaking it down. and, like a jawbreaker or something, it will just get boring or your mouth will tire out before youre willing to dive back in again lol. That being said, these specific yak cheese treats by Ecokind are straight up dangerous. I included a video along with several photos where I’ve highlighted one section in particular, how sharp this treat becomes all over as it splinters as it breaks down. Hopefully the video wasn’t compressed to a level that eliminates the detail. If there video isn’t helpful, I also included a different brand’s treat that has about the same amount of attention & the cmparison is night & day. VIDEO TLDR: there’s several places on the treat broke down & now resemble little arrowheads coming out of the treat basically. They’re sharp as heck. I rubbed my fingertip against them with as much pressure as I could without hurting myself and I was able to easily cut through the very top layer skin without the arrowhead part even moving a millimeter. It’s honestly so sad to think about because this is just the side that I could easily display in a photo. All the other pointy parts couldn’t really be photographed with my non-photographer lighting cause it would just blend in to the background of the treat. Dogs won’t stop eating something just because it cut them & made their mouths bleed. They’ll just find an easier way to consume it. I had bought two brands at the same time - i don’t even know why lol I think i just wanted to see if one was better because there are so many brands offering this same recipe on amazon. Good thing I did tho… if you’re going to buy these treats, buy them from Mighty Paws, the treat on the right in the pics. Or even just try a different brand instead & just make sure you constantly check the way they’re breaking down until you’re certain they break down safely. You dont have to get mighty paws, but if you love your pet, dont buy from Ecokind. Protect your pups stay away from this brand.
