| Himalayan Chews???? What size do you give your yorkies? I'm wondering if the mediums are too big? I bought the smalls but some of them are a little too small for my comfort so I'm just wondering if I'd be better off to get mediums or will they be too large?? Help! |

| Piper is 5.75 lbs and I bought her the medium size. She can carry it around but she really has no interest in chewing it. I decided to try these because she can chew a bully stick very quickly and I thought these would last awhile. The rate she's chewing the Himalayan chew it should last a couple years. Since I bought 5 of them she should have a lifetime supply.

| I get the medium for my furbutts too. I think the small would be to much of a choking hazard. The med. size will last with my two about 1 week.

| Medium is a good size for Ariel. I've tried both the small and the large also -- the large took WEEKS, mainly because she wasn't that interested in it . I thought the smalls were going to be a hazard as well, but she took a while to get the chew down to 1 inch, and that's when they went to the trash. |

| I bought five bags of the smalls two weeks ago, (three in each bag) gave five dogs one each and they all just take turns with each others and so far only one has been demolished. They aren't too small at all. I like this size very much.

| It really depends, every package of Himalayan chews are a little different. A lot of our customers with Yorkies go for the small ones because it has 3 to 4 sticks in the bag. Here's a good image of yak cheese. They hang them on rafters and smoke them to make it super hard. I have larger dogs, so I use, the Mixed Bags. |

I got Max and Mickey the "Small" size. There were 2-3 per package and they were pretty good sized. They love them.

| I may start getting my 12lber the large. The medium works for us and he's had his now for over a week, but it's pretty short. The large would probably last us a month!
