Mix 3 simple ingredients together to create the tastiest, most durable edible bone your dog will ever chew.🐶🧀🦴 Instagram - @ rodneyhabib Facebook - / planetpaws.ca
Just to let everyone know, to make the chhurpi really hard you leave it to dry for 10+ days. You can even smoke it over a fire. Also I forget if it was mentioned, but skim or 1% milk works best, as fat in the milk will make the cheese softer. This seems like a good recipe though, thank you :)
My apologies for asking but would you mind clarifying which step you mean with drying? Is this between the boards when it’s being pressed or do you mean when it’s in the dehydrator it needs to be left for 10+ days? I’m about to try this myself so I’m still new haha
@@brittenythomas8879 I *think* they were referring to the drying method that does not make use of the dehydrator. Which by the way would be equivalent to just leaving the chews a bit longer in the dehydrator I guess.
I had bought cheese curds answers makes it with turmeric in it and some ginger and then they make some also with spirulina so I'll add some of those ingredients up the antioxidants and the healthiness of those

Made this recipie 4 times now. My dog could chew through steel (I'm pretty sure). So I want to make the thicker chew. At 3:02 ther is a thinner and thicket version of the chew. The thicker version is what I'm looking for. Not once have I been able to press the cheese like that. I've used skim milk and whole milk. I'm not sure why the video chew is so orange. Pressing the chew with a 5 gallon jug of water seemed to make a harder chew but leaving it to air dry for a week seemed to make a much harder chew (due to evaporation/water loss). When pressing how to get the thicker chew and have the center NOT BE SOFT?!?!??! Do I bake them longer? Dry them longer? Roast them? I don't want to pay $22 USD for these chews from the Himalayan Dog chew company. 1 gallon of skim milk will make 1 large chew as depicted in the video.
I purchased a tofu press. It gives me thickness, and the length of the ones I purchase from the store. It makes 3 large chews. I’m struggling with hardness. I had I them in a dehydrator hard on the outside but still soft in the middle. So I’m going to try baking and letting sit for a lot longer to see if that helps.
I actually wondered about that. I had an Indian lady at the grocery store one time tell me you could make it with cottage cheese but I never tried. I love paneer!
The first batch didn't turn out so great but we will be trying our second one soon! Thank you so much for this awesome idea, never would've thought it's so easy to make them!
I love this recipe and will be using it soon! What can I do with goats milk? I'm guessing the fat content would be an issue here and I wouldn't want to waste a drop. I've seen gelatin recipes but would like something that lasts much longer and I could make in bulk since my pooch is not too huge on drinking milk in general.
Such a genius idea! Quick question, would this be suitable for a puppy once their adult teeth are in fully? Mine is 6 months and needs stuff to chew but I don't wanna hurt her! x
No these aren't! Churpi is very very hard and is different than soft paneer! And all cheese recipe being from coagulating milk but later they modify into different techniques !
I think I’ve finally figured it out. Still need to test the theory, but mine have been MUCH thicker than the one in this video. I think that’s the difference. Don’t be afraid to split up the curds into separate batches.
Made this and my dog absolutely loved it - but it wasn't a very long lasting chew. The way I shaped/cut made 3 fairly thick chews, which was about the size I would normally buy at the store. However, they didn't last longer than about 6 minutes each. The ones I buy from the store are usually much longer. They appeared to be fully dry - is there a reason it might not have taken her long or a way to make these a longer chew?
@@debrastover562 just over the counter or under the sun is best. But I have realised these homemade ones don't last u long. I have a German shepherd. And despite drying them for 10 days or more, he finished it within 2 min💀

Been making paneer for years so used to these steps. How would you make a thick piece? Say 2x2 inch or 3x3? About pressure, can you apply too much? I've got a vice so could place it in there.
you could collect and let the cheese stay within a smaller area of the cloth and make a knot then put the pressure over it so it remains thick pardon the english

These are great chews but my dog broke a tooth on one of these. They are extremely hard almost bone hard. So needless to say he doesnt get them anymore. Is there anyway to make these so there not as hard as originally designed?
@Invalid Characters I don't have a dehydrator or a oven what should I do Or I need to purchase that chews or there will any way instead of oven and dehydrator
Tofu press works the best (that I've tried so far)!! And I use a dehydrator at 130 for a day or two until I can't see the dense undried section in the middle) any higher and it burns
@@f15avionicsman2008 are you making them pretty thick? Like the larger sized ones at the store. I am not getting them to thoroughly dry all the way through, so they just aren't as hard as the ones you can buy
Quick question tho…wouldn’t u get more curds if u used a higher fat milk instead of skim? I don’t know, just asking because I am researching home made dog treats, (busy bones to be exact) and I stumbled upon this. I can’t find a busy bone/munchy bone recipe anywhere!

Cows milk/dairy is bad for dogs - they do not produce the enzymes in their stomachs to breack down the milk. Goat milk is fine/much better for dogs though - would this recipe work with goat milk too?

Can you make yak chews with coco milk? My dog is allergic to animal proteine (other than fish) and I am looking for a DIY dog chew for cleaning her teeth. Thanks!
A dog allergic to animal protein? Absurd. Is it possible your veterinarian is vegan and unjustly trying to project their belief upon a poor canine? Dogs MUST have animal protein to thrive! Cats require 100% animal protein ! Humans that eat animal protein like a wolf tend to thrive. Humans who don’t eat animal protein tend to look and act like prey.
Does anyone have an idea of what to do with the remaining milk/lemon juice mixture? It would like to avoid just throwing it away 😓 Either way, I will definitely try this recipe, since this product is hilariously expensive in our country 😅
The leftover is popularly called as whey protein .. so it is very nutritious and you can use it to knead your dough, it does add a bit of sweetness though. One can also use it in place of water when making any curry/gravy based item.
I had bought a packet of the himalayan yak chewsticks from a pet store, but my Shihtzu didn't even taste them as they were hard as rock. Is there any way to soften the store bought chewstik it so that he atleast gives it a try?
I heard Microwaving it works well for commercially sold ones? You should soak it in warm water for about 5 minutes ahead of time as well it should turn kinda puffy
I believe they are using Himalayan salt which is very high in minerals compared to normal salt. Healthier for humans and dogs. In moderation it is okay just don’t over do it! And always make sure there is a water supply available 😊

do we have to microwave it, is there any other option, or else can we stop proocess at applying pressure and cutting into pieces and directly feeding without microoven it

Can someone help me figure out what I did wrong? I never stop stirring, the milk took over a hour to boil, and it was burnt at 164F, well before it ever reached boiling point. I just don’t understand. I never stopped stirring along the bottom. Why it take so long to boil and then it burn before it could even boil?
The milk goes on medium heat once the steam starts to rise from the milk you increase the heat slowly till it starts to boil , add your lemon or lime juice
I've had these suckers dehydrating for 18 hours and they still aren't hard. Maybe I didn't press enough moisture out??? I had 20lbs on them for 4 hours. I don't really know what I could do differently. ...Next time I'll do even more weight for 8 hours - then move to the dehydrator. Frustrating though.

@@dnyaneshwarkerwadikar8287 you can freeze them for weeks until they dry or keep enough weights over the blocks for days until it loses all the water n becomes hard enough
Did you try it with premade cottage/ricotta cheese? While watching the video, I realized the beginning cheese recipe is the same as the cottage cheese recipe I made a few months ago, although I used whole milk. It was delicious but yeah, I'm a bit lazy and busy so think your idea is a great one!
Awesome video, I wondered how these were made. My Situation: 1 gallon of milk makes 3 chews according to the video. In Hawaii, 1 gallon of skim milk is 5.59 and the lemon or lime is negligible. Let's say $6 total. That still comes out at $2 per chew which is the same price as Amazon. What makes it worth the extra work? It doesnt seem worth it to me in this situation.
Hi I tried five times with 3.25%milk& silk milk individually. After I heated collected cheese in the oven/air fryer/dehydrator, they all dried with lots of air inside, the dog just eat them in one minutes. How could we harden them like a real yak chew in the film? Thank you very much!
@@AnaGNunez hello! I tried it yesterday i applied pressure and left it for more than 14hours but the curds didn't harden up yet. What would you recommend ? Thank you
@@claireemptage3028 those minerals are in a very low %. In order for this minerals in the salt to make any sort of impact to your body you would have to eat more than a cup of this salt a day and the recomended sodium consumption per person is less than a teaspoon... if your goal is getting those extra minerals in your Body, just buy vitamins... wont hurt your wallet or damage your body 👋
@Invalid Characters I don't have a dehydrator or a oven what should I do Or I need to purchase that chews or there will any way instead of oven and dehydrator 🥺
Skim milk=tougher. Use 0% for hard chewers, lasts longer and will have darker yellowish color. More fat will make the bone crumble more, for smaller dogs and lighter chewers.
All animals need salt to survive. Just like humans. Animals will travel great distance to find a salt lick. Humans fought wars over salt. It is a necessary nutrient for survival.
