Bone Faq

1

Are all bones created equal?

No, we're afraid not, many factors go into the production of bones. We specifically use cattle 18 months or younger so the bones are at their densest. Moisture is also incredibly important to monitor during the process as well.

2

Are some bones harder than others?

Pork and lamb bones are softer and are perfect for light chewers. Beef bones are denser making them perfect for heavier chewers.

3

Do you recommend supervising a dog while they chew?

Always monitor your dog while they chew. If the dog chews too quickly, it isn't the right chew for the dog. Bones should be slowly gnawed down and not meant to be ingested. The natural benefits of the grease and marrow can support a healthy skin and coat.

How are Peak Chaser chews made?

Yak milk is first collected by a group of farms. The yak milk is boiled while being continuously stirred with a wooded paddle called a "Kelu". During the stirring process is when the lime juice is added. After 45 minutes of continuous stirring the white cheese starts forming and it is separated with a large bamboo sleeve called a "cherang". The fresh soft cheese is spread onto a piece of cotton cloth that is tied and pressed firmly to drain all the excess water. From there the cheese is cut into pieces and then smoked for 30 to 45 days using a wood oven for hardening. This is the process that gives you a hard treat with a smoky flavour your dog will love!

Why use True Course Taurine Toppers?

Our True Course Taurine topper is a meal topper and a supplement. Taurine supports heart function, eye health, immune system function, muscle tissue and also aids multiple other systems as well. Taurine supports many other organs as well and it's an essential component of bile acids. Bile acids are produced in the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and finally they break down fats from foods. Most mammals produce Taurine on their own from precursors. There are multiple steps in producing taurine, but the first is the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine, which makes cysteine, which Taurine is produced from. Cats are the most relevant exception in this case. Cats must consume taurine from their diet.
