What Size Yak Chew Does My Dog Need? Sizing by Weight

Weigh your dog, then pick one of three sizes. Up to 25 lbs is a Small. 25 to 55 lbs is a Medium. 55 lbs and up is a Large. If your dog lands between two bands, or chews harder than the scale suggests, go up a size.

That is the answer. The rest is the detail behind it, including the two cases the chart alone doesn't settle.

The short answer: go by your dog's weight

Not breed. Not enthusiasm. Weight is what matters, because what you are avoiding is a chew small enough for your dog to swallow whole.

Small: dogs up to 25 lbs

Roughly 3.5 inches long, 3.5 oz (100 g). Estimated duration 2 to 6 hours. Our Size Guide gives Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and Dachshunds as examples.

Medium: dogs 25 to 55 lbs

Roughly 5 inches long, 5.5 oz (155 g). Estimated duration 4 to 10 hours. Examples include Beagles, Corgis, and Basset Hounds.

Large: dogs 55 lbs and up

Roughly 7 inches long, 8 oz (225 g). Estimated duration 8 to 20 hours. Examples include Labs, German Shepherds, and Huskies. Large is our biggest size, and it covers 55 lbs and up.
