Yakycharms Dog Treat

Verified Aug 17, 2026

Dog · Treat Adult Puppy All Breed Sizes

A high-protein, cheese-based dog treat made from a single ingredient, Himalayan cheese. This crunchy, microwaveable snack is designed as an occasional reward for dogs over 12 weeks old rather than a daily diet staple. Its simple formula can suit many dogs who do well with dairy-based treats.

8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a simple, single-ingredient cheese treat with very high protein and low fat, which can work well as a high-value reward for many healthy dogs. Because it’s cheese-based, it’s best used in moderation alongside a complete and balanced dog food. It may not be ideal for dogs that don’t tolerate dairy proteins well or that need lower-protein diets.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single-ingredient formula (Himalayan cheese) is very simple and easy to understand for owners.
  • Very high protein and relatively low fat for a treat, so a little can go a long way for training rewards.
  • Grain-free and gluten-free without relying on peas or lentils as fillers.
  • Suitable as an occasional treat for most puppies over 12 weeks and adult dogs of all sizes.

Considerations

  • As a cheese-based product, it may not suit dogs that react to dairy proteins even though it’s described as lactose-free.
  • High protein density means calories can add up quickly if treats are overfed.
  • This is a treat only and should not replace a complete and balanced dog food.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Cheese
Cheese is commonly used in pet foods and treats as a palatable source of animal protein, fat, calcium and flavoring, often incorporated into training treats, toppers, or small reward portions. While it provides protein, calcium and certain vitamins, cheese is calorie- and fat-dense and can be high in sodium and lactose, so use sparingly—choose low‑fat varieties for pets prone to pancreatitis or obesity and avoid cheeses containing toxic additives like garlic or onion; many dogs and some cats may also be lactose intolerant.
